This Strawberry Whiskey Sour is so frothy and refreshing. It's sort of like a grown up smoothie... with whiskey! Even if you normally don't care for bourbon or whiskey cocktails, give this one a try.

Doesn't this drink just scream strawberry? I love the thickness from the fresh fruit, combined with the traditional whiskey sour flavor. It's a wonderful cocktail for an al fresco Sunday brunch or dinner. Use the freshest, juiciest strawberries you can find.

I first tried this lychee cocktail about fifteen years ago in a bar in Toronto. It was so tasty that the first thing I did when I got home was buy a bottle of the lychee liqueur to make this cocktail at home.

This blackberry margarita is super refreshing and it gets most of its sweetness from fresh blackberries.

Rather than the usual sweet and sour mix, it has a little added frozen limeade concentrate along with fresh lime juice. The flavor from lots of fresh blackberry juice shines through.

I decided to try this fresh Fig Margarita when my cousin gave me a precious bag of four perfectly ripe figs from her Mission Fig tree. If you get perfectly ripe figs, you need to use them right away. It was the weekend, so why not a cocktail?
