Drink of the Day: Zaya Raspberry Mojito Float by Zaya Rum

If there's one thing this girl loves, it's mojitos. And nothing says "Let's hold onto summer forever" (no really, don't let it leave...) more than a sweet mojito, a Zaya Raspberry Mojito Float to be exact.

Zaya Rum, the self-advertised "World's Finest Sipping Rum" holds its own in the battle of great rums (including Puerto Rico's Bacardi) and was a fragrant, spicy sip right out of the glass all on its own. The Raspberry Mojito Float, on the other hand, was just the right mixture of fruit, frothy lime sorbet and fiery rum; quite the sexy drink! Also, just a tad beyond delectable and a great addition to my Friday apartment Happy Hour. Now, if only my balcony had a view of the sunset...

Drink of the Day: Watermelon Fizz at Haru

We hope everyone is celebrating this long weekend with sunny socializing, outdoor grilling and, of course, lots of refreshing cocktails. Our patriotic pick this year? The Watermelon Fizz, courtesy of Haru.

And since watermelon is one of the quintessential American barbecue must-haves, we love the idea of using to to make a fresh and fruity cocktail. Muddled with a hint of cilantro, Inocente Tequila and topped off with fresh lime juice and seltzer, this is a perfect crowd-pleasing summer drink you can mix up by the pitcher. Tip: Watermelon is naturally low in sugar, so this is a guilt-free cocktail you can feel good about drinking. Bottoms up!
