Friday faves - long weekend cocktails

Happy Long Weekend to all my Canadian friends! It's the kick off to summer, and please, let's hope the weather co-operates? Although May 2-4 weekend is traditionally cool and rainy, we've been-there-done-that-for-the-past-week-already. Please be sunny and nice and a hint of summer to come.

To celebrate, I have compiled some of my favourite summer cocktails...nothing better than a cool drink on a hot day!

Lemonade - via

Lemonade is one of my all time favourite beverages. I love it, and nothing quenches thirst like cold lemonade on a hot day (come on hot days, I know you're out there!). I started this post with this image for all of my pregnant friends who should really just focus on the lemonade and mocktails this summer :)  If you're missing drinks, stop reading now.



Gin and tonic. Nice and simple. Clean and refreshing. Classic and consistent. Need I say more?


Mint Julep - via
I had my first mint julep on a lovely weekend visit to one of my all time favourite cities - San Francisco, CA. The Clock Bar at the Westin St.Francis was the location, and the drink (and atmosphere) were excellent! I highly recommend dropping into the Clock Bar if you're in the area and looking for a good place to have a classic cocktail.


The quintessential Canadian Caesar. The bloody mary just doesn't pack the same punch as a caesar. Mott's tag line is: You see one, you want one. And it's so true. Want one yet?

Did I miss anything friends? What is your favourite summer cocktail?

    I could take any single one of those. Might I add a cosmo to the mix. It's always a hit in the summer. I just need to pace myself with those:) Enjoy the long weekend!
