Welcome to week two of resharing drinks from my NINE summers of making new drinks, sometimes every week Memorial Day - Labor Day, sometimes just weekly for a month. My enthusiasm varied over the years but my food styling and photography definitely improved over the years. I started with, sometimes, two drinks a week in 2014 and gradually got to just the month of June in 2022, the last year I did this. Time was the main reason I stopped but also the simplicity of just cracking open a can got to be too tempting. However, I happily drank all these fancy drinks for many summers and definitely appreciate a good, homemade margarita more than I did before!
I included the ingredients for easy planning purposes but click through for the recipe and sources!
