Cheers!!  We are sharing Summer Cocktails.......

On Monday, we got together with Michelle of Our Crafty Mom, and shared some wonderful Summer Cocktails.  It was so much fun that we are back today with some more.......

• Blackberry Smash Cocktail by Our Crafty Mom
• Watermelon Vodka Cooler by Easy Recipes for One
• Blackberry Margaritas by Hezzi-D's Recipe Box
• Rum Daisy Cocktail by Jolene's Recipe Journal
• Key Lime Pie Martini by A Day in the Life on the Farm
• Sparkling Orange Margarita by The Best Drink Recipes
• Blue Hawaii Cocktail by Art of Natural Living

One sip of this cocktail will have you feeling like you're sitting on the beach in the Florida Keys.  It would make a wonderful after-dinner drink either with or in place of a piece of the iconic pie.

This is a fun cocktail, perfect for sipping by the pool.  You might want to make up a pitcher of them to keep in the refrigerator.

Speaking of cocktails by the pool.  Tomorrow we are having our Roatan after-dive gathering.  I think these Martinis and the Compari Spritz that I shared Monday will be popular choices.  Sunday the family is gathering to celebrate Father's Day.  We are praying for good weather this weekend.

We are going out to dinner with friends on Tuesday.  A restaurant near Detroit has started featuring a charcuterie tray that contains jam made by our son for his business, Tony's Sweet Eats.  Thursday night is our last Broadway Play of the season, The Wiz.  We will be going to dinner before the show.

I hope you enjoy your weekend and can spend it with the people in your life who are strong father figures for you.   Here is what I'm serving up this week, under which you will find the recipe for the Key Lime Martini.
