Happy Hour Friday: Classic White Wine Spritzer

With temperatures rising all over the country, everybody is trying their best to stay cool in this unbearable heat. Another great way to still enjoy your white wine during the summer is with a white wine spritzer. I made this one for my happy hour cocktail and added some frozen fruit. I used strawberry, mago and pineapple and it gave the spritzer a nice subtle fruity flavor while the frozen fruit acts as ice cubes to keep your spritzer cooler longer!

You Will Need:

• 1/2 cup club soda
• 1/2 cup white wine (I used sauvignon blanc)
• 2 or 3 pieces of frozen fruit

Here We Go:

• Mix all ingredients together and enjoy

Happy Hour Friday: Watermelon Daiquiri

I have always been a fan of pretty party drinks. Nothing is better in the summer than a gorgeous, frozen cocktail.With temperatures rising across the US (the high is 95 degrees today), this frozen daiquiri is perfect for a summer picnic, cookout or cocktail party. I bought a whole watermelon at the grocery store earlier this week, and after we had eaten almost half of it and didn't think we could possibly eat anymore, I used the remaining melon for this tasty daiquiri. Serve it in a highball glass and garnish it with a lime. Your guests will be ever so thankful that you did!
