The summer season has officially started in DC. What does that really mean? In a lot of instances it means outdoor parties and BBQ's galore, followed by worrying how you’re going to look in that bikini tomorrow.
Well, fear not my faithful followers, there is a great way to still enjoy some good old fashioned drinking fun and not worry about the calories consumed. I call them Hillytinis.
Hillytinis can come in a variety of ways depending on your mood, below are a few of my favorite recipes for them:
Hillytini lemonade:
Vodka
Crystal Light lemonade – or pink lemonade
Seltzer water
Mix and enjoy J
Hillytini manmosa:
Vodka
OJ – preferable fresh squeezed oranges if you can get them & juice them yourself (way less sugar/ empty cals)
Champagne
Seltzer to top it off
Mix and enjoy J
Hillytini berry dlite:
Rum
Berries – frozen work best for this, but any berries will do
Light apple juice or crystal light raspberry ice
Put in a blender and whip up and enjoy J
One other benefit of these drinks is many are mixed with water based mixers and will help keep you hydrated as you drink alcohol and minimize next day hang overs. Let me know if you have any thoughts or other yummie summer drinks to try.
