‘Tis the season for light, refreshing poolside boozy beverages! Since apparently people don’t hang out by pools around here, I haven’t been celebrating summer in that way. But I do love a good midday happy hour cocktail every now and then. There is a wonderful restaurant dangerously close to me (literally across the street) and they make an amazing brandy cocktail with Earl Grey and bubbles. I’ll have to recreate it one of these days. In the mean time, check out the yummy recipes below!

Have the most relaxing Sunday, friends. Sit by your pool, some trees, an A/C, or wherever and treat yourself to a summery cocktail. You deserve it. And if you’re not into the boozy factor, I will be back very soon with something special for you. :)
