Thanks for sharing! I am going to try these recipes!
These cocktails look deliciuos, especially the watermelon martini!
It is so hot out this 4th of July that these drinks would be great to make for a backyard party. I like the red, white and blueberries cocktail recipe! I like that it is made with Skinny girl vodka!
I am not a big drinker, but I want to give my son a little dinner party to celebrate his new apartment. I just love the what-a-melon! martini recipe! It looks and sounds delicious and we are having a great watermelon season here!
I don’t drink a lot but these drinks look so delicious and refreshing. I wonder if you could make some of these virgin. Just wanted to say how great your blog is as well. Thanks
Thanks for the recipe
These sound delicious. I’d even try them without the booze. A sun-kissed spritzer would hit the spot right about now.
