Living in Georgia, peaches are a big deal. Georgia peaches when in season are the juiciest, most delicious peach out there. There are so many varieties, over 40 produced just in Georgia, that there is definitely one that you have to love. Some are more sweet, others more tart, but the Clingstone variety is most popular for just eating straight up. I used that variety (which is likely what you find in your grocery store, too) for making these margaritas because it is juicier than some of the other varieties and always nice and sweet! These drinks are perfect on a warm day in the middle ...

Southern Breeze Sweet Tea
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Southern Breeze Sweet Tea. It’s actually pretty embarrassing to admit that before I moved to ‘the south’ aka Georgia, I had never tried sweet tea. I thought I had consumed sweet tea before, but really, I just consumed iced tea with sugar, which is by no means sweet tea. When we moved to Georgia it was summertime and I was living the dream; laying out by the pool, sipping on real sweet tea, and being pretty carefree (this is pre-kids, of course). However, when that summer was over, I noticed I gained about 5lbs, and I think all my ...

Blueberry Basil Margaritas
During the summer I love going to BBQ's and outings where special cocktails are in abundance. I love coming up with new combinations for fun drinks, and this summer I am on a total Margarita kick. I decided to make a margarita similar to my Strawberry Basil Margaritas and it did not disappoint. Some of my friends actually said they liked this one better than the Strawberry version! Like the Strawberry Basil Margaritas, these are super easy to make, and only require a couple ingredients. I am a huge believer in the frozen cans of limeade, they seriously ...
Watermelon Margaritas the Perfect Summer Cocktail
One thing I love about summer is summer cocktails. BBQ's, cookouts, potlucks...whatever you want to call them, they are all great excuses to make a fun cocktail! Not too long ago I received a big care package from Familia Camarena Tequila, which included their delicious tequila along with some bar tools! I was so excited to try it out! Their tequila is 100% blue agave, and known for it's smoothness. Usually I love making margaritas with berries (love these Super Easy Strawberry Basil Margaritas), but I thought since watermelon is everywhere during ...
7 Super Bowl Cocktails
Today is part 2 of our 3 part Super Bowl series, and we are going to focus on drinks! Now, I know most people probably say that they just want to drink beer or soda during the Super Bowl, but I think you should consider making a themed cocktail if you are hosting a party (or even if you are just watching at home)! I found some really cute and yummy sounding city themed cocktails, and there is a fair share for both Baltimore and San Francisco. Of course, I am not saying you shouldn't also have beer, but lets be a little creative! Lets start off with a classic Sunday cocktail, ...
