The weather has turned awesome here in the Pacific Northwest. This means the garden is growing, the hills are greener than usual and refreshing drinks on the deck are about to start happening. Spring here in Oregon is beyond beautiful and reminds me every passing year why we put up with the rain.
I think The Bee's Knees has got to be the cutest cocktail name, ever. When I hear it, I see a pretty bee dolled up in a fringed dress, feathered headpiece, high heels and a string of pearls, ready for a night on the town.

I'd prefer not to curse here on the blog - but this recipe is *&$#%@ de-li-cious. I first heard about the infamous Aperol spritz back in the day from my best friend Adam who wouldn't shut up about the damn things. Perhaps I was jealous that he had been to Italy and I hadn't.
These margaritas are hands down the best cocktail I've ever made. I'm not sure if they tasted so damn good because we had just spent a chilly night sleeping in the car followed by 9 hours of driving or if they just tasted good because they are amazing on their own.
Prep Time: 15 min + freeze time We made this when we stayed in a beach house during the summer. What a great drink-on-the-beach recipe for an especially hot day!
