Yes, Its that time of the year when your car seat burns your ass or when a 3 minute ride in a subway feels like 20 minutes underwater!! We could stay inside with air conditioner and pay a high electric bill but what fun is there in that? Lets beat this summer heat and enjoy whats left of the summer! What better way to cool off the than sharing some cocktails with friends! Here are some tips to spend a fun summer and saving some money!
One of my favorite cocktails are margaritas- get your blender out to the pool party or when using the grill and pour in 4 cups of ice, half a cup of white tequila, a hint of triple sec(cointreau), the juice of 4 or 5 lemons, a hint of salt, some midori (for flavor and color) and sugar syrup as desired, blend well and before serving, sprinkle the ring of the glass with salt (kosher).. yum! If having brunch outside order mimosas or invite your friends over and make them yourself! (to keep mimosas cold and not lose the flavor have ready some icecubes made of sparkling white wine or champagne in your freezer!) If you have a basement, use it during the hottest hours of the day when the sun is the highest because its usually 10-15 degrees cooler than the rest of the house.
Finally when you are about to have a meltdown crisis, sit back, close your eyes and picture snow. Research has shown that the body reacts to these daydreams, reducing its overall temperature (I just made this up haha but how cool if it were true!) I hope you enjoy whats left of the summer! cheers!
