Ever crave a drink in the middle of the afternoon? Of
course you do! What could be better than a sip of wine or a refreshing
cocktail while you soak up the sun in the backyard? And if you're having
guests over, the more the merrier - they'll love an ice-cold glass of
your favorite libation. Here are a few guilt-free ways to get your buzz
on in the afternoon, while enjoying some of summer's most delicious
delicacies.
Our first suggestion? A little alcoholic iced tea. Mix sweet tea-infused vodka with a little lemonade and sprig of mint for a twist on one of the season's most beloved beverages. If you want more mint, mix up a mojito instead - this Cuban speciality is as fresh as it gets.
If you like wine, a little white wine sangria is never amiss. Make it the day before a party by combining your favorite white wine with fresh fruit, orange juice, and a splash of tequila, then serve it in a beautiful pitcher so your guests can help themselves.
When the temperature soars, break out the blender - margaritas, daiquiris and pina coladas will be in heavy demand!
