This uniquely Texas take on a traditional summer sangria takes its notes from tequila as opposed to wine or brandy. By following step-by-step through the easy directions, you’ll successfully arrive at a deliciously fruity cocktail which is not only juice-filled (healthy, right?) but has that perfect amount of alcohol to give it that zing! The website suggests finishing it off with Spanish red wine for not only the right look but also a great taste! A link to the recipe is available here.

Lavender Lemonade is actually one of the cocktails that are served in the Texas Hill Country, thanks to the great growing locales for this luscious little blue flower. This cocktail is a unique way to put a twist on one of the most popular summer drinks. Both refreshing as well as deliciously simple, this easy-to-make recipe is available at the link provided here.

If you’re a fan of watermelon (and who isn’t?) this cocktail has a wonderfully easy way of combining this summertime favorite fruit with a cake-like flavor (thanks to the vodka incorporated into the drink, which is vanilla-infused). It’s completely delicious and easy to make, and a link to the recipe is available here.
