A Summer Goal - Hint: It involves cocktails!

Like most people, I have many goals. Some are important, some are not as important, and some are just downright fun. While it's no world peace, my summer goal is to ... wait for it ... make more interesting cocktails. I know, I know...it's uber exciting... I know you're jumping up and down right now. It's not that I don't love my crisp white vino in the summer, or my favorite beer - Blue Moon with an orange, but I'm going to branch out into the world of fruity, spritzy and fabulous summer cocktails. Join me, won't you?

Mmm...this might be my new summer go-to cocktail - a Greyhound, which is simply vodka and grapefruit juice. It's healthy (the grapefruit, duh) and not overly sweet. Try it! Side note - more on grapefruit later in the week as I am discovering how much I love it.
