Can you believe summer vacation is just around the corner? I don’t love the heat and humidity that comes along with summer, but I definitely look forward to some much needed time with my girlfriends! Schedules are free, the kids don’t have homework, or after school activities…It’s like time slows down just a little bit and you’re finally able to get everyone together for that much needed “Girls Night In” that you’ve been talking about since September! Ahhh yes the illusive girls night in…The one that in a time far, far ago you used to take completely for granted. The time before kids, and boyfriends and husbands where all it would take was a few phone calls and 15 minutes later your best friends were at the door holding vodka in their hands. And those times when just one, two or five more cocktails wouldn’t hurt, because you didn’t have to wake up early the next day to care for other miniature human beings that depended on you for their survival…ahhh yessss…time moves so fast, doesn’t it? 😉

And while I love a great cocktail, sometimes creating a “mocktail” can be just as much fun! Especially when its hot, sticky, and humid outside–a cool, refreshing drink will really hit the spot! That’s where these Raspberry Acai “Fauxhitos” come into play! Sure, you can add in vodka or even rum to spike them up! But this virgin-play on a mojito is a perfect drink to serve at your next Girl’s Night In and is not only beautiful to look at, but taste AMAZING as well!
