Summer Cocktails

Summer is the perefect time for crisp refresing drinks. Here are a few of my favorites

Izze Splash

Super simple and soo light and bright. Take Izze juice drink and mix it with your favorite liquor over ice. I prefer the blackberry with vodka. If you've never had Izze before check it out! Its sparkling water and fruit juice in a bunch of great flavors. http://www.izze.com/

Hop Skip and Go Nakeds

These sound a little wacky but are amazing, great for an outdoor movie or bbq. My friend Andy introduced me and its definitely worth a try. The ingredients are pink lemonade, vodka and wheat style beer (or at least light in color and flavor). Take equal parts of beer and lemonade anf then add vodka to taste about one shot per 10oz of the beer lemonade mix. Mix and serve over ice. Adjust this one to your personal preference some lemonade for sweetness for instance, sample frequently as you make!

Cranberry Granita

I adapted this one awhile ago from a food network show. Its a great light dessert as well as a cocktail. This makes enough for about 8-10 servings. Take three cups cranberry juice in a sauce pan with 1/2 cup sugar. Heat slowly untill disolved. Cool and add just over a 1/3 cup of each vodka and fresh lime juice (about two large limes). Mix in a shallow dish or casserole pan. Freeze for two hours. Use a fork to flake the icy mixure into crystals, refreeze. Repeat every few hours untill fully frozen (about 5 hours total). Serve in small bowls with mint leaves or lime wedges for garnish.

Enjoy! xoxo Jilly
