Sparkling Summer Peach Sangria

Summer is in full swing and there are so many things I love about this time of year.  Pool parties and backyard BBQ's are happening left and right and with that comes the need for a go to drink recipe that can please a crowd.  Summertime brings us so many fresh fruits that I can never resist the urge to create refreshing cocktails based upon whatever is in season.  One of my absolute favorite cocktails in the summertime is sangria and my sparkling summer peach sangria is perfect to whip up and serve to all of your friends and family all summer long.

Rhubarb Basil Martini

Hey guys!  I hope you all had a fabulous 4th of July and if you are anything like me, you are already ready for the weekend!  We were on vacation last week and I have been trying to get back into the swing of things since Monday and because of the holiday thrown in, I feel like I haven't known what day it is all week!  I do know that I am ready for Friday and it's officially one day away which means cocktails are in my near future.  Parks has been on another level of crazy this week and this mama could use one or two delicious cocktails about now.  My Rhubarb Basil Martini is summer in a glass and is the perfect weekend cocktail!

The Ultimate Summer Cajun Michelada

With summer officially arriving less than a month away, I am gearing up for all things parties, cocktails, and a beach trip with my family at the end of June!  I am craving salt water in my hair, sun-kissed skin, and a little relaxation with my favorite people.  One of the things I look forward to the most is creating cocktails for everyone to bring down to the ocean to go alongside some delicious snacks while we all soak up the sun!  I can't think of anything better than sipping on my ultimate summer Cajun Michelada!

Frozen Mint Screwdrivers

Happy Thursday guys!  One more day to get through until the weekend and I am already dreaming about refreshing cocktails because it has been getting hotttt y'all!  And when the weather is hot outside there are only two things that sound good and those are being near a body of water and/or drinking a refreshing cocktail.  Let's be honest, I'd prefer to be drinking a refreshing cocktail by that body of water, but I'll take either or right now!  One of my favorite simple and refreshing cocktails is a screwdriver and I made it even more refreshing by creating a frozen version that is amped up in flavor!  My frozen mint screwdrivers are perfect for your next beach vacation or day by the pool!

Mimosa Popsicles

It's almost the weekend!  I can taste it, can you?  We are headed to Louisiana for the weekend to hang with friends and family and feast ourselves on my father-in-law's famous crawfish.  To say I'm excited about his crawfish would be an understatement...I literally eat more than every grown man at the table!  There are a few things in this life that I will change my plans for and one of those is a crawfish boil...the other happens to be champagne.  Just mention the word and I am there!  One of my favorite activities on the weekend is brunch and I think half of that is the fact that I can drink mimosas before noon and it is 100% acceptable.  And what's even better than that is a mimosa turned into a popsicle!  My mimosa pops swimming in even more champagne are the perfect addition to your at-home brunch plans this weekend!
