Once the warm weather rolls around, I really want to start entertaining outside, and whipping up some delicious cocktails for my friends! Last summer was especially awesome; having lots of friends nearby with similarly aged kids, and being able to play, hang out, grill out, and drink up! Fun times for all! One cocktail I was obsessed with, and know I will still be drinking this summer, is the Blueberry Mojito. I love Blueberry Mojitos because they are super easy to mix up, and I’m able to use fresh mint from my garden. If you don’t have a garden, I urge you to make a little window sill herb ...

14 Fourth of July Cocktails
With the 4th of July right around the corner, I thought I’d put together an easy reference list of cocktails that would be totally appropriate for the occasion! Of course, not all the cocktails are red, white, and blue, but a lot have a patriotic flair, and the others just look delicious. Not everything has to be themed, right?! Here we go!

Peach Margaritas
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 ...
