It’s mid-August, and summer is beginning to wind down. Gone are the days of ice-cold beverages on the beach and fruity sangria out in the sun – well, maybe they’re not gone, but they’re certainly limited. Enjoy the last couple of weeks of warm weather with a mix of margarita and beer that may seem risky but should definitely be tried.
Those who would rather spare themselves the hangover should try this refreshing cranberry lime punch, a fresh, fruity treat for the end of summer.
