Celebrate Good Times: Summer Sips


With graduations, birthdays and BBQ’s there’s no better time to put on a party than in the summer. I have always loved having a summer birthday, and this summer I turned 21! I invited my friends to “raise a glass” to celebrate with some feel good beverages that are also great for your health. Below are some of my favorite cocktail recipes: cheers!
The first way to get a buzz without the calories is to try Bethenny Frankel’s Skinnygirl Cocktails. Former Real Housewife of New Jersey, who began by bottling her signature drink, the Skinnygirl Margarita, started this line of drinks. Since the first drink was such a success, the Skinnygirl Sangria, Piña Colada, White Peach Margarita, and White Cranberry Cosmo followed it. All of these low cal beverages are ready to just open, pour and serve!
Bethenny then introduced high quality, low calorie Skinnygirl Vodka with Natural Flavors in four delicious flavors Bare Naked, Tangerine, Island Coconut and Cucumber.  Try these guilt free recipes for delicious summer sips!
