You might remember my post a few weeks ago on my top 10 must haves for summertime? I wrote about how I was introduced to Skinnygirl Cocktails(specifically their White Sangria) and about how I pretty much fell in love with it?!? Well let me tell ya, I had the chance to try a few more of their cocktails, and I’m even more in love!
I love my evening cocktail. It’s nice to have every once in a while after a long, hot summer day with the kiddos. I just hate that cocktails and wine have SO many calories. Well, with Skinnygirl, I don’t have to feel guilty about having a drink anymore. The cocktails are low in calories, yet do not sacrifice on flavor. The taste is just perfect- my current new favorite is the Skinnygirl “Sweetarita”- so nice to sip on a hot day.
My hubby and I have also been playing around with the Skinnygirl vodkas. I LOVE the meyer lemon flavor. This stuff is good enough to drink on the rocks alone, but we enjoy it with a squeeze of fresh lemon from our lemon tree and a splash of homemade simple syrup.
I want to share some fun Skinnygirl Cocktail recipes with you- perfect for your next party, girl’s night, BBQ or how about just an evening at home?
