There's only 1 month of Summer left (according to my calendar), and while I absolutely love Fall, I'm just not ready to let go yet. In order to keep the season going, I've been channeling Summer as much as possible. I've been taking every opportunity to eat outside at restaurants, take Gatsby to the park, drink iced coffee, wear dresses, and of course - have happy hour on our balcony!

My go-to beverage is usually craft beer, but I can drink that all year round. There are certain cocktails that are somewhat reserved for Summer, and I believe that's anything that contains lemonade.

You can mix a variety of liquors with lemonade and come up with something tasty. However, if you aren't an experienced mixologist (it's ok, I'm not either), below are two no-brainer lemonade cocktails that will surely have you going back for more.
