Summer is my favorite time of year!! I love the sun, the heat, being outside, extra family time and SUMMER DRINKS on the deck!!!
One of my favorite summer drinks is The PeaPicker.
Super easy – just 2 ingredients:
Limeade and Vodka
Make the limeade according to the directions on the can. Then mix 3 parts limeade with 1 part vodka.
We like to make ours in a big pitcher!!!
Pour a glass and enjoy the beautiful evening on the deck (or your porch, driveway, parking lot – whatever!!!).
Years ago (about 10, actually) – Chris and I were in Biloxi, MS for our anniversary. We took a little get-away every year for our anniversary for the first 10 years we were married. And then…..Life happened! (Really the only reason we haven’t for the last # of years is we haven’t had any one to watch our boys.) It’s OK – the boys are such a fun age now that we like to be with them all the time!
Anyway, one night in Biloxi, we went out to a really nice place (can’t remember the name) and I had my first ever Martini!!! The waiter suggested I try an Educated Cosmo – so good I think I had 2!!
After we came back to Kansas I tried to order one wherever I went – no luck – no one knew what I was talking about! Finally, Chris figured out the basic ingredients and came up with our version of this awesome drink!!!
The Educated Cosmo
Mix all ingredients with a little ice in a shaker and shake away!!
Pour the mixture into your favorite martini glass and enjoy!
(tonight’s favorite glass – shoes, shoes…)
