Sip It :: 4 Summer Cocktails

There's plenty of sunshine here in Southern California and we are already approaching our 95-100 degree days. How does an over-worked party gal keep her cool? With delicious, cold, summer cocktails of course!

Sometimes I'm inspired to come up with my own new summer cocktail recipes (like this watermelon cooler), but typically I'm far too parched to go to such efforts. When in need for new recipes of amazing summer drinks ... turn to Pinterest!

Here are my favorite summer cocktails. You must be 21 years old to read further (nah, just kidding).

Thirsty are you?

1. Frozen Vodka Slush - This is perfect for making a giant batch ahead and leaving in the freezer for when thirst sets in (or guests pop in). Recipe via ABCD Designs shared on The Grommet.

2. Spiked Blueberry Lemonade - a treat for the eyes and packed with  dazzling flavor via Veggie Belly.

3. Lime Sorbet Margarita - These are AMAZING and simple. Just how I like it. Recipe via Real Simple.

4. The Guavarita - Need I say more? Check it out at Confections of a Foodie Bride.

I've shared my favorite summer cocktails with you .... what are yours? Share in the comments below.

    For me, Spiked Blueberry Lemonade wins. It already looks like a feast to me, what more if I taste it. Ahhhh! :)
