Aperol Spritz

One of my personal favourite. For that delicious drink, you only need three components and ice.

Ingredients you need:

50ml Aperol

100ml Prosecco

Soda water or Sprite

Slice of orange

Ice

Firstly fill up the glass with ice, then add Aperol, prosecco, and soda water. Stir it, add a slice of orange and enjoy!

Moscow Mule

For this refreshing drink, you also only need three components and ice.

Ingredients you need:

50ml Vodka of your choice

25ml lime juice

Ginger beer

Slice of lime

Ice

Firstly fill up the glass with ice, then add vodka, and lime juice, and fill it up with ginger beer. Originally there should also be two drops of Angostura bitters but it tastes quite the same without. Stir it, add a slice of lime and enjoy!

Negroni

This delicious drink should be served from a smaller glass and it only needs three ingredients plus ice.

Ingredients you need:

25ml gin of your choice

25ml Campari

25ml sweet Vermont

Slice of orange

Ice

Firstly fill up the glass with ice, add the ingredients, stir, add a slice of orange and enjoy!

Margarita

Margarita is a drink that I would recommend making if you have a shaker in hand but I am not judging if you wanna make it without.

Ingredients you need:

40ml Tequila of your choice

15ml lime liqueur

30ml lime juice

Ice

For this drink add ice, and all the ingredients to the shaker, give it a hard shake, and double strain, enjoy!

Sex on the beach

A perfect drink to have on a hot summer day. For this drink once again you only need three ingredients plus ice. 

Ingredients you need:

50ml vodka of your choice

Orange juice

Cranberry juice

Slice of orange

Ice

Firstly fill up the glass with ice, then add half a glass of orange and half a glass of cranberry juice, add a slice of orange and enjoy!

Skinny Bitch

This one is for the people who care about the calories but still want to enjoy a great beverage. Once again you only need three ingredients. 

Ingredients you need:

50m vodka of your choice

25ml lime juice

Sparkling water or soda water

Slice of lime

Ice

Firstly, fill up the glass with ice, add the ingredients, add a slice of lime, stir and enjoy!

Mojito

This one is probably the most popular drink on the hot summer day but it also needs more ingredients than previous drinks. 

Ingredients you need:

7 Fresh mint leaves

50ml white rum of your choice

Lime

Soda water

1tsp granulated sugar

Ice

Firstly muddle the lime, sugar, and mint leaves, crushing the mint leaves. Next, pour over the rum, stir it with a long-handled spoon and top it up with soda water, add some more mint or lime, and enjoy!

Tequila Sunrise

For this fancy-looking cocktail, you need three ingredients plus ice. It is perfect to add some color to your day.

Ingredients you need:

50ml Tequila of your choice

Orange juice

Grenadine

Slice of orange

Ice

Firstly fill up the glass with ice, then add tequila and orange juice. Next, add slowly grenadine and a slice of orange, enjoy!

Pimm’s

Pimm’s is probably my absolute favorite summer beverage. It is so refreshing, tastes so nice, and added fruit just gives it the last kick you need. You can make it into the glass but also serve it in a jug for the whole party. There might be quite many ingredients but trust me, it is worth it.

Ingredients you need:

50ml of Pimms (if you make it in a glass)

A little bit of lemon juice

Ginger ale

Mint

Strawberries

Lemon

Orange

Cucumber

Ice

Firstly fill up the glass with ice, then add Pimms and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Top it all up with ginger ale and for garnishing add cucumber slice, mint, strawberry, lemon wheel, and orange wheel. Enjoy!

To make your life easier, you can buy the whole Pimm’s bundle from here.

Dark Stormy

Dark Stormy is very similar to the drink Moscow Mule what you saw earlier but instead of vodka, it has dark rum. Great for the rum lovers!

Ingredients you need:

50ml dark rum of your choice

25ml lime juice

Ginger beer

Slice of lime

Ice

Firstly fill up the glass with ice, then add dark rum, and lime juice and fill it up with ginger beer. Originally there should also be two drops of Angostura bitters but it tastes quite the same without. Stir it, add a slice of lime and enjoy!

These ten refreshing summer cocktails are my go-to every summer, regardless if I have a bigger event or it’s just a barbecue night with my friends. Great about these cocktails is that only one of them needs a shaker, therefore the other nine are easy to make for everyone, no matter if they have a shaker or not.

I would love to hear, which are your go-to summer beverages? Maybe you will have something, which I could include to my list? Leave a comment down below and let me know.

PS: Please drink responsibly.

SaGG foundation is a non-profit foundation that is created to help find sponsors for Gambian girls to complete their education. The SaGG foundation is not very well known and people do not talk about it that much yet, it is difficult to do social media listening for the foundation. The following table shows social media audits for SaGG foundation and for its competitors. Chosen competitors are both working on changing the lives of African girls but one of them also have other causes included in their foundation, therefore its reach is international.

Currently, the SaGG foundation has the weakest social media presence among its competitors, and would need to work more on its social media platforms to grab extra attention, and achieve its full potential. Currently, the SaGG foundation uses the colour pink as their main colour on social media channels (all the social media channels seem to be connected) but currently their posts are too crowded with text which is difficult to read. Furthermore, some of the ”videos” which have been created are videos where the text moves around and it is difficult for the viewer to understand where to look.

Plan International is a foundation that focuses on different crises but it also focuses on children’s education, more deeply on girls’ education which makes them one of the competitors for the SaGG foundation. Plan International content on social media channels (all the social media channels seem to be connected) is about different crisis but every post they have created is straight to the point. They have chosen to have the main color blue, which is also the color of their logo.

Camfed is a foundation that focuses on girls’ education in Africa and therefore makes itself the biggest competitor for the SaGG foundation. Camfed content on social media channels (all the social media channels seem to be connected) is more focused on educational videos which is a great way to reach more people due to the popularity of the video content on social media platforms. To read more about why video content is good press here.

From the social media audit, it is clear to see that the reach of the competitors’ social media is bigger than the SaGG foundation has. Both competitors have more followers on each platform, and also have active accounts on the platforms which are not used by the SaGG foundation.

CONTENT RECOMMENDATIONS

As SaGG foundation is a non-profit organization then it would reach its full potential if it would also take advantage of options that have been offered to the non-profit organizations by different social media platforms. For example, currently, the SaGG foundation does not have Youtube or TikTok channels but these are the main channels where people consume videos. 

To get YouTube for a non-profit organization you can follow these easy steps here. 

To get TikTok for non-profit organizations read more here. 

On other social media channels such as Instagram, Facebook, and Linkedin it is recommended to make SaGG foundations posts more straightforward with less text. Furthermore, on Instagram, it is getting more popular to use the reels option that might have a viral reach. It is possible to use TikTok’s as reels and vise versa, therefore foundation can use the same content on different social media platforms.

According to the analytics, if the SaGG foundation would like to target people outside of Africa they should target people in the United Kingdom as their main followers outside of Africa are from the United Kingdom, London. It is recommended to target both genders women and men, as the amount of followers is quite even for both genders. Although research shows that women are more likely to donate then it comes out that if men donate, they donate more, therefore for the SaGG foundation it is important to target both. Age-wise SaGG foundation should target people between 25-45 on social media channels, and also find a way to target the generation baby boomers. Research shows that older generations, such as baby boomers, are more generous with their donations than younger generations. 

Adding some straightforward, interesting video content on the SaGG foundation pages and creating YouTube and TikTok channels would bring in more people who donate or who will choose to sponsor a girl in Gambia. Videos which are being added should be informative, telling more about how education can save a child from early marriage, how education can save a girl from abusive relationships, and all the other reasons why education is important for the girls. Furthermore, making a clearer difference between the donations and sponsorships might help people to choose an option for the sponsorship instead of one time donation.
