I’m sure most of you are counting down the days until schools out whether you be a mom or a teacher. (Or both!) We compiled some yummy, EASY libations for both moms and kids that will help you ease into summer. Have a blender? That’s pretty much all you need! No need for all the fancy bar tools to make these easy recipes!
1. Blackberry Margarita
Blend together fresh blackberries, can of Minutemaid limeade, 1 cup of tequila, 1/4 cup triple sec or Grand Marnier (I prefer the latter!)
2. Sangria
Slice fresh fruit and throw into the bottom of a pitcher. (Or use frozen fruit!) Pour equal parts of red wine and grapefruit soda into pitcher.
3. Peach Bellini via Hi Lovely
4. Sweet Tea (kid-friendly)
