I don't know about you but between the monster sized mosquitoes and the heat, SUMMER is not the season for enjoying your porch. I can't wait until mid-September, when the weather starts to get cooler (ok maybe more like mid-October) and it's perfect for sitting on your porch, watching the kids play, sipping a cold drink. So we thought we would help you out, well maybe we were helping ourselves out a little bit too, and we found these New Orleans cocktail recipes that are perfect for sipping while rocking on your porch.
