Sweet, Sweaty Summertime!

Long gone are the days where I longed for Summer. I can remember waiting for the days to get longer and the temperatures to rise, because to a teenager that meant more time with shirtless boys. Now when I think of Summer, I think of how I am halfway to a heatstroke by the time I get in my car! One thing that brings this half-crazy mother some solace is the thought of goooooood sunny drinks...and by drinks, I mean DRANKS! I recently posted on my facebook that I was going to open up an adult lemonade stand and name it PuckerUp....I was only halfway kidding! I am serious about getting together with a group of girlfriends and mixing up some cool, sweet Summah-time dranks! Since today's high is 102, I thought I would get a jumpstart on that and come up with my first drink:
It tastes like heaven and smells like trouble....it will be known as the 'Hoedown'! Ha!

It is so good and so easy to make. I like putting it in a canning jar so I can put the lid on and shake 'er up!

Ingredients:Whipped Vodka (I use Pinnacle...as always)
Frozen Strawberries
Ginger Ale
Orange Juice

~Mix equal parts OJ and Ginger Ale. Use frozen strawberries as ice cubes. Add vodka to taste- don't be shy...the more the better!!! (Truuuuust me here) Notice I don't have things measured out by the oz. Just dump it in and shake it up...it always helps if you dance while you do it! ENJOY!
