Perfect for "light drinkers". You'll love the flavor of this one. Be sure to garnish it with Luxardo cherries.
Bloody Mary
For those who like bold flavors. Many folks make this a breakfast beverage. Can't say I blame them.
Long Island Iced Tea
A perfect companion for poolside. It's easy to keep cool with this classic.
Mai Tai
If you love fruit blended with a kick for a taste of the Orient, this one is a must-have.
Margarita
This one ought to be mandatory as a summer drink in Texas. I love to beat the heat with this one.
Martini (Dry)
Nothing says "fancy" like a martini. Plus, they're tasty. Good enough for James Bond, good enough for me.
Mojito
These are just sinfully good. If you've not cooled off with a mojito this summer, what are you waiting for?
Old Fashioned
A long-standing tradition I have with some buddies is sipping on an old-fashioned and enjoying fine cigars. Also great for a cool down on a hot day.
Sex on the Beach
It's more than an attractive name, it's an awesomely delicious drink. Another perfect one for fruit lovers.
