10 Easy Summer Cocktail Recipes

Share with your friends!

Summer is right around the corner, and I can’t wait to enjoy making these Easy Summer Cocktail Recipes to share with friends on our patio!

One of my favorite hobbies is finding new cocktail recipes and mixing up new concoctions to share with friends. It makes it so fun to switch things up and try new flavor combinations. Last August, I had the idea to start an additional blog where I could share some of the fun cocktails that I enjoy making…no worries, Mom 4 Real isn’t going anywhere! I was telling Matt that it would be so much fun to be able to photograph and share those recipes, but I didn’t really think they fit here on Mom 4 Real, so I wanted to create a separate blog just for cocktails. I bought the domain and started working on the site, then some family stuff happened and I knew it would have to go on the back burner. Now that things are good and settled down, I’ve been working hard to fill the site with fun cocktails right in time for summer! I’ll be adding cocktails, fun entertaining ideas, and some photos and videos from bourbon tours that Matt and I have been going on since we live right in the heart of bourbon country! I’d love for you to check out my new blog, Pour Me a Cocktail and let me know what you think!
