Boozy Frozen Whipped Mint Lemonade

Boozy Frozen Whipped Mint Lemonade

Whipped lemonade is a drink that is typically made by blending together lemonade and coconut milk and is a refreshing drink to enjoy on a warm afternoon. I gave it a yummy boozy spin with fresh mint making it the ultimate summer cocktail to enjoy on a patio or poolside. This cocktail is both creamy, tart, refreshing, and perfectly delicious and you are going to love making it all summer long. Boozy frozen whipped mint lemonade is the ultimate summer drink and is great for entertaining all season long.

Guava Caipirinhas

Have you ever had a guava?  I had my first one in Costa Rica almost ten years ago and fell in love with their unique flavor, that is hard to describe until you taste one!  While we were in Hawaii a couple of weeks go, my love for the fruit reawakened with all of the guava that was readily available to us wherever we went!  I knew I needed to find some when we returned home!  While it is hard to find the pink variety here in Texas, I was able to find the white flesh variety at my local grocery store!  Both are delicious by the way, so I snagged a bag of them!  I used them to create my guava caipirinhas, which is a twist on one of my favorite Brazilian cocktails!

Frozen Strawberry Basil Mules

Man it's hottttt in Texas these days!  Today, the temperature is supposed to go up to 99...and that's not even the heat index, which is almost always a good ten degrees higher than that!  You simply have to be near a body of water to go outdoors, or in our case playing in a sprinkler, otherwise you can't bear the heat.  The other way I am surviving this summer is by whipping up frozen cocktails and drinking them like they are water and you are totally welcome to join in on the fun too!  My frozen strawberry basil mules are so easy and are absolutely necessary in getting us through the last months of this scorching heat!

Spiced Pear Bourbon Old Fashioned

I am stuck somewhere in the middle of needing fall to be here yesterday and not wanting to let go of summer and all of it's produce.  Don't get me wrong I am beyond ready to feel the weather shift because this 95 degree business isn't cutting it for me!   But, I also hate to say goodbye to long days, my favorite produce, and sun-kissed skin.  To help get my mind in fall mode, I created a spiced pear bourbon old fashioned cocktail in partnership with Drizly.com, a website where you can have your favorite alcohol delivered right to your front door!

Tomato Basil Crush

Is anyone else obsessed with tomatoes right now?  Every year when summer rolls around and tomatoes get sweet and delicious I try to eat all the tomatoes that I can get my hands on!  When I was pregnant I ate at least three tomatoes a day with garlic salt and had to make myself stop so I wouldn't get a mouth ulcer!  Lately, I have been putting tomatoes into everything like my Greek Chicken Pasta Salad, Panzanella Cantaloupe Caprese Skewers...and now even my cocktails!  My tomato basil crush is going to have you loving tomatoes in a whole new way!

Mom's 5 O'Clock Citrus Vodka Soda

Yesterday was one of those days...  We started off with a doctor's appointment for Parks in the morning which went great, but then messed up his nap schedule for the whole day.  And by messed up I mean he boycotted naps for the rest of the day.  This led to me chasing around a now mobile baby, eating two meals standing up, and trying to shoot two recipes all the while keeping a tired baby from being cranky!  Needless to say I was ready for Canean to get home last night so mommy could have a break.  Can I just say, thank goodness for cocktails and my mom's 5 o'clock citrus vodka soda!
