summer + girly beer = bliss.

Michelob Ultra, oh how I love thee. Seriously. Ultra is the best girl beer on the market. And now there is reason to love them even more - new fruity flavors just in time for summer. Or, if you are in my area, just in time for perhaps summer of 2009. This stuff is in high demand in the Dallas area and no one can keep their shelves stocked with this stuff. Luckily, I was able to snatch a few (okay, 3) 6-packs of the Pomegranate Raspberry flavor after searching high and low for these precious babies. It is DEEEEEEEEEE-lightful. I have also tried the Cactus Lime and the Tuscan Orange Grapefruit. Those two don't seem to be as difficult to find.

So go grab you some! And make sure you take Dora, you will need her help locating these hot commodities.

sonic happy hour.

If there are Sonics in your area, be sure to visit between 2-4 everyday for happy hour. Drinks are half price and you really can't go wrong spending $.75 on a medium vanilla Dr. Pepper. Delish!

mad for mojitos.

I'm sorry, but you really can't beat a mojito in the summer. I just love the cool taste of lime mixed with the delicious, grainy taste of mint pieces. And what's even better is that this drink has sugar and alcohol. How could you go wrong? Here is my simple, easy and fast recipe. I got this from a friend who enjoys hot summer nights on her patio. This is not an exact recipe, so just eyeball it and personalize it to your taste. Enjoy!

Using a mortar and pestle, smash mint leaves.

Add lime juice to mint.

Add some sugar.

Fill high baller with some crushed ice.

Add light rum.

Add lime/mint/sugar mixture.

Top with lemon-lime soda (i.e. Sprite, Sierra Mist, etc.)

Add extra mint leaves.

If you want to get real fancy, add real sugar cane sticks.
