Guest Post: Summer Cocktail

6.27.2013

Last week I mentioned that I had a very exciting guest post for while I was away and here it is- the first ever guest post by The Style Dossier! The Style Dossier is one of my favorite blogs where sisters Libby, Mandy, and Katy talk fashion, food, DIY, and beauty. They also come up with some amazing cocktails, perfect for any or every occasion. Knowing how great they are what they do, I asked them if they would come up with a cocktail for me based on my likes and my love of summer, and this is what they came up with: The Cocada.


Summer's are all about raspa's on those hot summer days, lounging by the pool, but most importantly those perfect summer cocktails. We think we have a real winner here: The Cocada is the PERFECT summer cocktail- it's fresh and tastes just like vacation! You know those drinks that make you feel like you're on a beach somewhere soaking up the sun? This is definitely it. It has pineapple, coconut and tequila, exactly what you need in a summer drink. Lately our secret ingredient has been Mexican flavored soda's as they make any cocktail taste so fresh. Just add tequila and you have yourself the best cocktail. The genius behind pineapple soda deserves a medal. Happy Summer!

What's your cocktail of choice come summer? 
And thank you again Libby, Mandy, and Katy for guest posting! 

Frozen Strawberry Skinny Girl Margarita

6.09.2011



I love margaritas. So much so,  that when I had my tonsils removed last year, my last words/conversation before being knocked out by anesthesia was me professing my love for frozen margaritas to my nurse (who during prep had become my BFF)  and my nurse saying "Woooo, I knew you were a Tequila girl".

But I digress.

Since its release, I have been a huge fan of Bethenny Frankel's Skinny Girl Margarita. But oddly enough, while I drink it religiously, I am not the biggest fan of the taste of traditional margaritas.

And then I had an epiphany of sorts: frozen strawberries!! Why I never thought of adding strawberries before is beyond me (since frozen strawberry margaritas are my ABSOLUTE favorite), but all I know is I have found my perfect drink of summer. 

Ingredients:
Skinny Girl Margarita
Frozen strawberries (Or strawberries +ice)
1/2-a full teaspoon of agave syrup or sugar (optional and amount depending on sweetness preference)

Blend ingredients in the blender and pour into your favorite margarita glass. Or Starbuck's cup for easy portability around backyard BBQ's...
