Earlier this year, my cousin and I had a very serious conversation–about our favorite beverages and the seasons in which we like to consume them. Hahaha. Ok, so it wasn’t THAT serious, but we thought it was all super interesting. And then we started talking about summer and she started to laugh. I have a major sweet tooth–and this does not abandon me in the face of choosing libations…. Especially in the Summer.
I know I’ve said it before, but I am definitely a seasonal drinker. It’s almost as if I have a particular type of drink that I consume straight for a month or so, then I move on to something different. Throughout a year, it seems to go like this: September – Bourbon/Manhattans/Old Fashioneds; November – Red Wine; December – Champagne; (If there’s a vacation in January, there is usually something tropical and sweet in there…); February – Back to Red Wine or Vodka drinks; April – White Wine; May – Red Wine Coolers; July – Moscow Mules/Smirnoff Ice (please don’t judge me…); August – Sweet Tea Vodka with Lemonade. I don’t do this on purpose, it just seems to happen. A new “season” starts to happen, and my taste buds oblige by forcing me to crave a new kind of drink that evolves with the weather.

I love pretty much all holidays, mostly because there are always new foods and recipes to try and taste, in addition to being an excellent excuse for having parties. I usually have a Cinco De Mayo party every year, complete with enchiladas, Mexican rice and homemade margaritas.
