Its hot out there, right? How about some nice cold drinks to take the edge of the heat? Just so you know, ice is used in all the recipes listed and you should definitely have some ready when you begin your At Home Bartendering. Let's Get Mixin'!

Moscato Margarita (original source)
Ingredients:
¼ c Granulated Sugar
Lime Wedges
1 c Strawberries (chopped)
1 c tequila
1 c Moscato
1 c Triple Sec
½ c Lime Juice
How To:
Rim your chosen glass by sliding a lime wedge around the rim and dipping it in the sugar. Now, in a blender with ice you are going to add the ingredients and blend until smooth (add more ice if you think it isn’t slushy enough). Pour into a glass and garnish with any left over lime wedges.
