Last summer was the summer of the smoothie.
(Classics. Unusual. Dessert)
This summer it's all booze and seafood.
Because that's how we kick it down here, cher.
Lemon Drop Martinis taste like lemonade and what's better during summer than that?

So far this summer:

ReplyDeleteWow, this sounds spectacular and so pretty. Way back in the day I used to love lemon drop shots (too much)! But as a martini this sounds like the perfect summer drink!
