Margarita: The classic margarita is made with 2oz. Tequila, 1oz. Lime juice and 1oz. Cointreau.  What pairs well with a margarita?  Tequila shot!

Kir Royale: I discovered this drink hanging out at the lobby bar at the Iberostar Quetzal in Playa del Carmen, Mexico.  It’s one of my all time favorites!  It’s 3oz. Champagne, 1/3oz. Creme de cassis.

Mimosa: The perfect breakfast drink!  Some people might like bloody mary’s, but not this girl!  I am all for a mimosa in the morning while on vacation.  It’s so simple, but so delicious: 2 1/2oz. Champagne and 2 1/2oz. Orange juice.

Mojito: This is one of my husband’s favorites; light and refreshing!  1 1/2oz White rum, 6 mint leaves, Soda water, 1oz. Lime juice, 2 tsp. Sugar.

Vodka Soda: This is one of those drinks I enjoy at home, usually with flavored soda water, but I do enjoy it on vacation as well.  I don’t like to drink fruity or sugary drinks all day long, so this is a great alternative.  The recipe is simple: Soda water, vodka and a lime (optional).

Mai Thai:  Here’s a great tropical fruity drink that screams “You’re on vacation!”  1 1/2oz. White rum, 1/2oz. Lime juice, 1/2oz. Orange curacao, 1/2oz. Orgeat syrup, 3/4oz. Dark rum.

Pina Colada:  This is another popular drink people think of when they think about vacation drinking.  It’s made with 3oz. Pineapple juice, 1oz. White rum, 1oz. Coconut cream.

Tequila Sunrise: I had forgotten just how good these are!  3oz. Orange juice, 1 1/2oz. Tequila, 1/2oz. Grenadine syrup.  Yummy!

Chocolate Martini:  These are so good!  I call them the theatre drink.  I call it this because my husband loves to drink them while watching the show at night.  They are definitely a dessert in a glass with 1 1/2oz. Chocolate Liqueur, 1/2oz. Vodka, 1 1/2oz. Creme da Cacao, 2 1/2oz. Heavy Cream.
