This summer has been another scorcher! On hot and humid days, I reach for a refreshing cocktail or mocktail to cool me down. This blueberry and lime vodka refresher has been my new go-to this year. The delicious cocktail features blueberry vodka and zesty lime sparkling water. The light, bubbly flavor is truly perfect to sip on by the pool or as you listen to the waves crash on this beach! — 21+ of course —

Shoutout to Western Son Vodka

I was happy to partner with Western Son in getting the word out about their flavorful vodkas. Western Son was founded by a group of ex-corporate workers who wanted to get away from the 9-5 grind and carve their own path. It is headquartered in Texas but available nationwide. The brand has over 10 varieties of vodka as well as other spirits. A portion of all proceeds goes to the Peter Burks Unsung Hero Fund, an organization that delivers care packages to deployed service men and women.
