No Time Or Money For A Summer Vacation?

Join the club.  With the dismal economy and the influx in unemployment, getaways are quickly becoming a thing of the past. And suddenly, the destination of choice is your own backyard… "staycation," anyone?

So kick up your feet, close your eyes and invoke the feelings of the tropics with these refreshing, fruity cocktails that will whisk your imagination away to a breezy beach without the price tag.  The added perk?  No worries about finding a designated driver or paying for a taxi!
