What is your favorite Summer drink?
I have recently discovered my summer cocktail of 2009: The Skinny Girl Margarita, of Real Housewives of NYC fame. 
Bethanny Frankel decided she wanted to create the taste of the refreshing lime and tequila drink without all the sugar and calories, and let me tell you it is Delicious! I've created my own twist on the drink:
Bethanny Frankel decided she wanted to create the taste of the refreshing lime and tequila drink without all the sugar and calories, and let me tell you it is Delicious! I've created my own twist on the drink:Count to 3 while pouring clear tequila (I use Sauza)
Count to 1.5 while pouring Triple Sec
(She suggests Cointreau or Bols. Bols is the much more economical option!!)
1 dash of Agave Nectar (very sweet, just a couple of drops will do)
1/2 Half of a Lime, Squeezed
I serve over crushed ice. Yummy! But beware, drink slowly as they have the potential of being deadly!

Are you with me on margaritas? Do you love a "Spiked Arnold Palmer?' Is Sangria or just a Corona your choice? What's your favorite drink of Summer?

I'm a big fan of a pitcher of red sangria.
I love that recipe. I've never tried the agave nectar. I usually just add a little extra lime juice or a drop or two of rose's lime.
Not really a fan of alcoholic beverages...that said, my favorite summer drink would be the passion fruit tea lemonade {without sweetener} from Starbucks!
Margarita on the rocks with salt OR Strawberry Lemonade! YUM!!!
I havent been drinking too much alcohol lately... but I love frozen Strawberry margaritas.. xxoo
That sounds delish, I'll have to try it!
Too funny, I was just watching that show and tried to looked up this cocktail this morning. Thanks for the help.
Haha, thanks for sharing. I definitely ordered that last summer and the bartender kept "checking" one me. Awkward! I couldn't finish it, but I get why its the skinny girls choice! :) Xoxo-BLC
Thanks for sharing this recipe! I love margaritas but try to avoid the 700 calories. Can't wait to try this! I don't have a summer drink yet but this may become the new favorite!
I left you an award on my blog! :-)
I am definitely trying that recipe! Favorite summer drink - a glass of chilled Riesling in my patio proof plastic wine glasses!
that book is currently on my coffee table and I'm working through it- lots of stuff that makes sense and isn't freaky-deaky!
margaritas are just so fun when it's warm out, aren't they?! while champagne is my drink of choice- I'd say that come summer-time that I switch over to a good G&T- Tanqueray Rangpur with diet tonic and a good twist of lime! my mouth is watering already!
kHm
I am definitely a Corona girl! However, a fun cocktail is great for summertime too!
I love refreshing alcohol, ha! I haven't tried Bethenney's cocktail yet, but am def. planning on it - I'll try YOUR version for sure!
i heart the skinny girl margarita!! my fave summer drinks are either a mojito or a pimms cup....but let's face it, they're all yummy :)
I'm ALL about the Firefly Arnold Palmer! I've recently found a diet sparkling lemonade to mix the Firefly with.
I do want to try the SkinnyGirl drink though!
I love any fruity cocktail! I'm going to have to try this skinny girl marg!
I love margaritas!!! Thanks for the Skinny Girl recipe!
my LOVE for "Spiked Arnold Palmer" has spilt over from last summer :)
Well as we speak mine is: 2 parts Jose Quervo Margarita mix, 1 part Jose Quervo Especial, 1/2 part DeKuyper Triple Sec, over crushed ice, slice of lime, sprinkled with salt!!!!
i just saw this episode where she and her date drank it. i was so curious! i have got to try this. my problem is i love sugar too much so this is perfect!
i love champange. it is my new thing! but my go to's always seem to be extra dirty martinis (cuz i only need one) and bloodys.
I have got to try this skinny girl margarita. It sounds yummy! In the spring/summer I love a good mojito or a nice glass of sangria.
waiting for some consistently warm weather for frozen watermelon margaritas!!
So good in the summer!!
Thanks for posting the Skinny Girl Margarita recipe! I want to try it. I am glad to hear you like it!
