I love a good cocktail, and with summer fast approaching I've gathered a list of drink recipes I'd like to try when the temps start hanging out in the high 90's.

A huge benefit of my job is that from the middle of May to the middle of July I get out of work at noon on Fridays. I usually have lunch with Christopher or my mom and then hang out in the hammock or float around in the neighborhood pool and read. It's lovely. My go to summer drink is lemonade and vodka in a tervis water bottle, but when I plan ahead, I really love margaritas.

I'm even more excited because I plan to drink these icy drinks out of my newly painted glassware.
