I’m gonna have to try the Red Rox for sure!

I’ll definitely be making some of these tonight to help with the “creative” processess!
Thanks,

Just looking at these drinks makes me happy! Colorful drinks always get me.
Best time to drink such cocktails. Today would be a nice day out here because the weather is perfect for a cocktail followed by a frozen treat like yogurt or ice cream its too hot for ice milks.
Oh my, LOVE the colors. Very summery!
Midori Sour is my fave! I haven’t had one of those in a long time, but I think the next time I am out, that is the drink I will be drinking. Thanks for posting
anything with Vodka has to be okay! Thanks for the blog follow – I appreciate it!
It looks delicious and colorful. MAY I REBLOG???
As you wish 🙂

Fun blog! I’ll have a Red Rox please!

These all look delicious, but the Red Rox got me with the basil. Yum!
they all are so pretty! 🙂
I like the addition of basil in Red Rox. Anything to unsweeten a cocktail is a good step in my opinion.
Ever since going to brasil I’ve been hooked on Caipirinhas (cachaca, sugar, and lime) perfect and it’s pretty potent 🙂
Looks all very tasty and cool! 🙂
*nudge*, i gave you an award!
I’ll have all of those please. 🙂
that electric drink makes me think that i’m drinking mouthwash 🙂 i do love a midori sour. one drink that would be good is sweet tea vodka lemonade. deep eddy sweet tea vodka mixed with lemonade in a 1:1 ratio. an alcoholic arnold palmer.
