We love mason jars for their versatility: They're convenient containers, they're inexpensive, and, most importantly, they're cute. Mason jars also make for perfect cocktails outside of the home because they are portable. All you have to do is put on a lid — and head outside!
We found some pretty and tantalizing mason jar cocktails that make us want to sit on a blanket, watch the sunset, and sip a drink. From beergaritas and blueberry basil lemonade to frozen daiquiris, these cocktails will make for enjoyable drinking indoors and out.

Apple Pie Margarita
When you think of apple pie, you donât usually think of it in the form of a margarita like this Apple Pie Margarita from Kelly of Kelly Spalding Designs. For fun extra touches, rim the mason jar with cinnamon sugar and add an apple slice for garnish. Apple-licious!
Beergaritas
If youâre looking for a slushy, refreshing drink that will liven up a party, the Beergarita from Mrs. Schwartz Kitchen may be the perfect beverage. Limeade concentrate, and a combination of tequila and beer, may make your drink the hit of the party!
Blueberry Mojito
Jessica of the Novice Chef Blog shares a tantalizing Blueberry Mojito that you may not want to drink because itâs so nice to look at it. Rum, mint leaves, lime, and club soda give this drink its flavor. And donât forget the blueberries!
White Cuban
Most drink aficionados are familiar with the White Russians, but how often do you see a White Cuban? This White Cuban from Kelly of Kelly Spalding Designs uses rum instead of vodka. Then itâs just Kahlua, milk, a dash of nutmeg, and a cinnamon stick. Cheers to a tasty drink!

Frozen Daiquiris
If you like frozen drinks, these Frozen Daiquiris from Monica of The Yummy Life is a simple fruit puree mixed with rum.

And if youâre using fresh lemon or lime juice, sweeten the drink with agave, honey, or a simple syrup. Whatâs better than some frozen goodness on a warm day?
Mango Blackberry Mint Lemonade and Blueberry Basil Lemonade
Bree of Baked Bree uses flavored vodkas to make her mason jar cocktails, including Mango Blackberry Mint Lemonade and Blueberry Basil Lemonade. Bree likes to take these drinks to the beach, adding that the key to a good cocktail on the beach is keeping it ice cold.
