I like a Golden Margarita - the orange juice (or Grand Marnier if you aren't cheap like me) really adds a whole new dimension to the drink. Plus it just tastes good!

I'm a fan of simple campari & soda with a generous twist of orange. A good negroni is hard to beat as well. Yum is it time for a c**ktail yet?

My favorite c**ktail is a Horny Margarita. Mix in a large pitcher: 1 can of Minute Maid frozen limeade. 1 can of Sprite. 2 Coronas. 6-8 Shots of Sauza Hornitos depending on your taste. Stir and serve. The Corona and the limeade gives it a frothy texture. Perfect for the Spring and Summer. Enjoy!!!!

For 2 years running my favorite c**ktail has been the mojito. But only on weekends because they take such a long to make. If I'm going short time it would be vodka on the rocks.

Too hard to choose one, of course. A gin & tonic is always great and, to me, seasonless.

My favorite c**ktail depends on the season and what I'm doing. I ALWAYS love a good margarita. In the winter I like coffee drinks. And in the summer or on a beach vacation I like rum punch or some girly fruity drink with an umbrella. Thanks!!
