July 2015 - Five Marigolds

A signature drink is a fun and refreshing addition to your summer soiree! We recently had a BBQ and served these three drinks that were a big hit!

Wicked Watermelon Margaritas (4 servings) source: Bedsider.org

Mix the following ingredients in the blender and serve with a wedge of watermelon or slice of lime!

3 cups cubed seedless watermelon, frozen
1/4 C fresh lime juice
1/2 C white tequila
1 cup triple sec
1 T sugar

Moscato Strawberry Lemonade

Mix the following ingredients in a large pitcher and garnish glasses with lemon slices.

1 bottle pink moscato
6 C lemonade (I used Simply Lemonade)
1/4 C strawberry vodka
Frozen Strawberries

Popsicle Moscato

This one is super complicated: pour three parts pink moscato and one part Simply Lemonade into a cup and place an unwrapped popsicle in the glass. Drink once the popsicle has melted!

These are my three favorite tried and true summer cocktails. Do you have a signature drink? Tell me about it in the comments below!

For many, it feels like school just got out for the summer. But in our neck of the woods, summer is already more than half over! Every year I scour summer sales to help build our back to school wardrobe on a budget. I try to find a variety of mix and match pieces to maximize our budget in style. Here’s what I’ve come up with so far:

Shopping information:

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12

What do you think? Do you shop sales early for back to school season, or do you wait for the fall sales?

Thanks for stopping by!
