Oh man, you need to find the nearest pool on the sunniest day and you need to make yourself one of these.  Maybe three.  You need to sit back, feel the sun hitting your skin, notice a breeze and take a sip.  You will be transported.  You’ll think you’re on a tropical island and happiness will start to overwhelm you.  I promise.  You’ll also fall in love with tequila all over again, a love affair that if you’re not careful can get you into trouble but shouldn’t be neglected.  Oh yes, oh yes indeed.  SUMMER!!!  xx- Sarah  {this post was produced in collaboration with Sarah Dickenson for A House in the Hills}
