Thirst Quenchers

I realize I do a very terrible job at keeping up with this blog, but I do read all of my comments, and enjoy perusing my favorite blogs every morning. Summer is winding down, and with the darker mornings and a crispness in the air, fall is officially coming. I am SO excited for the cooler weather, watching the leaves fall, pumpkin patches, apple orchards, hearty soups, bonfires, and having our first Halloween in our new house.

While I am excited for this new season, this summer was a wonderful one filled with lots of great memories and of course, a lot of time spent in the kitchen. I baked, I cooked, I tried new things. I also did a lot of experimenting with mocktails and cocktails. Every weekend seemed to be filled with some type of party or event, and I never attend a festivity empty handed! I've listed a few of my favorites below. Some are from my favorite blogs, and others I have concocted through trial and tribulation. Enjoy!
