Nectarine Vodka Lemonade from HeatherChristo.com

Happy Thirsty Thursday! I made these beautiful, cheerful and delicious cocktails as a celebration for my little brother Jonny and his fiancé Chisty! They just got engaged this past weekend and I am so excited for him! I love to see him so happy, and I couldn’t imagine a better match for him than Christy- one of the sweetest women I have ever met.

We are all so happy, that I couldn’t help but create a drink to toast them with- and since nectarines are already filling the grocery stores (I found the most gorgeous nectarines at Costco this week) they get to star. This is a perfect sipping drink for the sunny Holiday weekend ahead- your friends will love you!
