A warm summer sunset, sitting on the porch, at the beach, or in the grass. It’s the best part of summer.  What’s even better during the summer? The sweetest and coolest drinks!

I love relaxing on a warm night with a chilled glass in hand, and good company. Or entertaining my neighbors with bubbly concoctions and great food.

Try this recipe for a refreshingly sweet and tart summer day finisher:
