Friday Favorite: Refreshing Summer Cocktails

The Rio Margarita

I went to college in Colorado and there I discovered my favorite drink of all time…a margarita from The Rio.  It’s so amazing and I was instantly hooked.  They are super delicious and very strong.  Let’s just say you get cut off at 3.  Yep, there is only a limit of 3 margaritas a night!  That’s how amazing they are!  I found their recipe on Pinterest so I just had to share!

Dirty Shirley

One of my favorite drinks as a child was a Shirley Temple.  How about an adult version that makes you feel like a kid again!?  I love this drink and it’s an updated adult version. 🙂Dirty-Shirley_Real-Housemoms

Mango Martini

I love having fruit in my cocktails and this sounds so refreshing to drink.  I imagine myself sitting by the pool sipping on my mango martini this summer for sure!

Champagne Margarita

Okay, so this combines my two favorite drinks into one!  I love me a good glass of Champagne and a good Margarita.  Best of both worlds in my opinion!

Raspberry Beer Cocktail

Now I’m not a beer drinker but this one sounds delicious.  The blend of vodka, beer, lemonade, and raspberries sound amazing.  I’m so excited to try this one out this summer!

Lemonade is a go-to drink during the summer so why not spice it up and make it into a tasty cocktail?  Sounds good to me!

Marshmallow Cake-tini Cocktail

Last but not least here is a fun dessert drink to try out this summer.  My birthday is in July so I’m pretty sure I’m going to celebrate with this fun and tasty drink.  It looks like a birthday cake and will taste like one too!  Why not a Cake-tini with my cake!?

If I haven’t tried some of these already I do plan to try them all this summer!  Not all in one night of course! 🙂  I’m really looking forward to a fun summer with my friends and family while enjoying a few refreshing cocktails on the way!  Happy Friday!  I’ll be heading back to Minnesota this weekend so I may have to make one of these drinks when I get home to make me feel like I’m back by the beach!
