I’m going to be bold here and come out and say it: I think the margarita is the perfect cocktail. I love margaritas; they’re playful and don't have to be sweet- instead their fresh citrus flavors speak for themselves, plus when it comes to alcohols we all know that tequila is a party in a bottle.

Hello Darlings! When the summer heat is feeling rather oppressive I tend to reach for something fruity and ice cold to cut the heat (and satisfy my sweet tooth). Add a few bubbles and a bit of vodka and you’ve got a great cocktail. The Pomegranate-Blueberry Spritzer is the adult version of a refreshing sparkling juice, perfect for a weekend BBQ!
