Summer was made for relaxing. The long days and lack of schedules are perfect for family and friend time. It is my favorite time of the year since it is built for soaking up quality time with those you love.
Summer cocktails may be one of my favorites of the whole year. Well ... excluding punch at holiday parties. I am a big fan of anything in a punch bowl!!
I have compiled a list of my current favorite cocktails in rotation this summer ... not in any particular order since they are all equally fabulous!!
Chin, chin!
Margaritas ~
Margaritas are truly best enjoyed sharing with a group of friends while sitting on the porch. This is one of my favorite past times, sitting and giggling with my dearest friends!
This margarita recipe makes a pitcher is down right yummy!
Dress your glasses with a slice of lime and a slice of orange just like the photo above ... and of course a salted rim and a fancy striped straw!
