| going to the beach for a week and would like to mix up up a drink for hubby and I to enjoy in the evenings. Nothing too complicated or overly sweet, but looking for something summery and a step up from gin and tonics. |

We are into lavender martinis over here. YUM. But that might be more girly than some husbands can do...

| Blueberry vodka and lemonade with frozen blueberries floating in it! |
| Cucumber gin and tonic |
| Very simple and tasty: Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka, lemonade, little bit of club soda. Easy to make a single glass or a pitcher |
| Drinks with mint are a great summertime choice. A whiskey smash is a great choice! Not too sweet, refreshing, and you won't believe it's burbon. Here's the recipe - http://www.themoveablechef.com/whiskey-smash-recipe/ |
oh - that sounds good. |
It is, especially with some of the small batch tonics around these days. |
| White wine sangria. |
What do you do with the cucumber? Muddle it? Blend it then strain it? I love cucumber martinis in bars, but I've always been too lazy to make one myself. |
