    The school year is winding down, and temperatures are steadily rising! It's time to start thinking about summer barbecues, lounging out by the pool, and girl's night out without the kids! What do all of these things have in common? Cocktails!! 15 Refreshing Summer Cocktails to be exact.....

    My love for creating fun cocktails is pretty well known by now, so I have put together my favorite 15 Refreshing Summer Cocktails to get us started. I have many more cocktail ideas bouncing around my brain right now, so there will be more favorites before the summer is over! Do you have any favorites that I should try?

    Update: I originally created this round up using a gallery plugin that has since stopped working, and I lost all of the original links and images. I have recreated this collection from scratch, and I promise it is just as delicious as the original.

      Can you do this with blueberries? Would white wine work better with blueberries.
