Here are 5 Great Cocktails for a Girls Night In:

1. BEER MARGARITAS

What’s better than beer? Why beer margaritas of course! The volume is bigger, so it takes longer to consume as you girls have you fun time together, but it is by no means less potent.

This serves TWO, so you can extrapolate for 4 or 6 etc..

1 can frozen limeade concentrate
2 shots of tequila
2 shots of cachaca
1 can of beer
Ice
1 lime, cut into wedges

Directions:

Pour limeade, tequila, cachaca, and beer into a large pitcher. Stir until well blended and limeade has melted. Add plenty of ice, and garnish with lime wedges. Adjust with additional water, if needed.

2. MOJITO FRESCA

There’s hardly a gal (or boy) I know, that does not like Mojitos. The secret to Mojito is in the blending..

Ingredients:

2 cups water
2/3 cup sugar
2 cups water

Sugar
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
Ice cubes

Directions:

In a blender combine lime pieces, 2 cups water, and 2/3 cup sugar. Cover and blend about 30 seconds or until limes are chopped; do not puree. Strain through a sieve into a large pitcher. Mix in 2 cups additional water. Cover and chill for 1 to 12 hours.

Stir rum into lime mixture. Moisten the rims of 8 glasses with the reserved lime piece; dip rims in sugar. Divide mint among glasses. Use a wooden spoon to press mint into the bottom of each glass; press firmly to release flavor. Fill glasses with ice cubes. Pour chilled lime mixture over ice and mint leaves.
