Homemade Italian Sodas

Homemade Italian sodas can be any flavor you want and can be made in a snap! Simply combine half and half, flavored syrup and sparkling water in a glass filled with ice. It’s a fun drink to cool you down on those hot days and it’s even more fun to watch your kids’ imaginations go wild! Ever thought about a cherry and blackberry combination? Or maybe cherry and lime? Leave it up to them!

Labor Day weekend is pretty much HERE people. If you haven’t been planning your weekend menu, you might be in a complete panic right about now. Maybe you are really on top of it and have the entire weekend planned, gone grocery shopping and are already starting massive prep for an epic weekend of grilling (if this is you, serious props because danggggg). Either way, you’re going to need some cocktails to alleviate the stress or to enjoy after all your slaving in the kitchen and over the grill. Let’s face it, you know you’re going to basically be hammered the entire weekend and you can’t survive on vodka tonics for three days. To go along with that massive menu you’ve got going on, you need some serious drink variety in your grilling lives. Here’s the ultimate list of drinks that’ll get ya nice and twisted, but don’t taste like pure alcohol (we’ve all grown out of loving that taste since college, right?). There’s some fancy AF cocktail, some fruity cocktails, and even a few manly cocktails that the men will gladly kick back with instead of a cold beer. We’ll just be kicking back with these as the final long summer weekend rolls by if you need us.

Summer Sippin' Cocktails | Sauce + Style

Summer grilling season is in high gear and that means just one thing around here… It’s time to break out some serious summer cocktails to cool off with while standing around the grill all afternoon. Backyard BBQs are a way of life whenever the sun is out and we can’t lie, we get a little tired of the beer and wine after the first few get togethers. So we are upping our cocktail game this summer with some seriously refreshing, oh-so addictive recipes to beat that summer heat. There’s a little bit of everything in here whether you are a tequila-lover, or you’ll only drink fresh fruit cocktails all summer long. The only question is, which one should we try first….?
