Cocktails Cocktails Popular Drinks Bar Basics Stories & Parties From Colleen Graham, your Guide to Cocktails Saturday is the summer solstice in the north and we are going to celebrate this week with a fun collection of drinks that are perfect for the hot days ahead. I think it's also important to remind everyone that the mix of heat and alcohol can be a dangerous one.  Keep the drinks light (or liquor-free) when the temperatures rise and remember that the number one drink for summer is... WATER! Jessica Harlan, one of my colleagues at About.com has a fantastic article about making infused waters, which you will want to check out: How to Make Infused Waters. Enjoy the solstice, Cheers!   Follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and now Pinterest.   Cocktail of the Week: Twist & Shout This is not your average milkshake and, no your eyes do not deceive you, that is bacon on top.
