My husband (referred to as “the Hubs”) is the official cocktail maker in our home, as well as our friends homes! We love entertaining our friends: I do the cooking while the hubs tends the bar. Perfect pair, I must say!
Anyhow, I love me a good peach bellini! I had a hankering for one the other day, so I asked the hubs to whip one up for me. He noticed that we had a ton of rosemary growing in our garden, so he decided to make me a classic bellini with a twist! WOW. That is all I have to say! DELICIOUS! 
Now, what girl doesn’t love frozen fruity cocktails? I know I do! It’s the first type of alcoholic beverage that us gals are generally introduced to (hello, frozen margarita)! The true test, though, of a fruity cocktail is the opinion of a man’s man.
Well, friends, I’m here to tell you that my motorcycle riding, home beer brewing, baseball playing, home renovation loving, guy’s guy of a husband LOVED these (even when he didn’t want to!). He fought it, but after downing 2 of these, even he was willing to admit these were GREAT!
Enjoy these delicious summer cocktails!
