Ahhhhhh. The summer is finally really here. Memorial day officially kicks off the season of backyard barbecues, long weekends at the beach and awesome patio cocktail parties. Memorial day weekend is the perfect occasion to set the tone for the rest of the season. So don’t settle for a ice cooler filled with Miller light and some pre-mixed Margarita mix. It’s Memorial Day dammit! People died for your right to relax and get drunk for THREE days! Pay tribute to their honor with this assortment of awesome drinks perfect for Memorial Day festivities…

Joe’s Tropical Rum Slush
This is what I’ll be making this weekend.
Daiquiris
Frozen or otherwise, daiquiris are guaranteed to cool you off, plus… the chicks love them. These drinks may be girly, but be secure in your man-hood and just enjoy them!

Mint Julep
You don’t hear much about mint juleps anymore. But on Memorial Day, which was originally designed to celebrate soldiers who died in the civil war, the Mint Julep is a perfect choice.

Mojito
Sure, they’re trendy… but oh-so-refreshing.

Michelada
Okay, this may not be the most “American” drink, but I know you want to drink beer and this offers a delicious spin on America’s favorite beverage. In my opinion, this is the best Michelada recipe out there.
