DRINKS I like 'em simple + savory. Steer clear of sugary concoctions, syrups. To win my heart muddle fresh fruit, herbs, maybe a pepper?

Custom cocktails on the beautiful patio, don't miss it. They use herbs right from the backyard garden.

Seasonal local ingredient cocktails are tops at this Miami spot!

A hidden gem for Italian wines and bites. Don't miss this cozy place with an entirely organic & biodynamic wine list in Miami.

A fave. Just $5 at happy hour, this margarita swirled with sangria is a Dallas favorite. Best enjoyed on a patio with loved ones!

Bolsa is hands-down the best happy hour for fancy cocktails. Mixologist drinks. Seasonal bar fare. This one was pisco, fennel, sweet pepper, dill, lime.

Another one from Bolsa. Their drinks rotate constantly. Fun to try all their different concoctions as the seasons go by! This is : vodka, grapefruit bitters, pamplemousse (aka grapefruit) rose, grape shrub, bubbles.

If you are ever in East Dallas, you have to try a Yahoo Yeehaw at least once at Single Wise. Made with Yahoo, this very potent cocktail will also satisfy your sweet tooth.

A simple little mimosa at Remedy in East Dallas. Always $5, a great late morning or afternoon easy cocktail. Simple, light, refreshing.

Obsessed with this smoothies from Green Grocer. Kale, spinach, mint, matcha, honey, coconut water.

Available at Lyfe Kitchen locations everywhere.

Oh Bolsa. Best cocktails in town, in general. HH makes these fancies $5 from 4-7 on weekdays. Seasonal, always rotating. Check them out.

And this one has a watermelon ice cube. Need I write more? ;)

My favorite bloody mary in life, so far. It has Guiness! And jalapeño! And other great stuff. Perfect balance of spicy, sweet, savory.

A glass of wine at Lakewood's The Wine Therapist, which recently moved to a new location across the street from its old spot. Love the new place! They always have a great, wide-ranging selection of wine. And you can taste until you find what you are looking for. Very knowledgable staff. I like my wine very dry.

Yumz. A simple, summer cocktail I made the other day. I had some cilantro flowers fresh from Good Earth Organic with seeds on them. Popped some Tanqueray Rangpur gin into a shaker with seeds, ice and a little club soda. Shake shake shake. Into glass & more club soda added. Seeds in pic for effect - I strained them to drink. Though, they are edible and tasty but the skin gets caught in teeth!

A lovely cocktail at Bolsa. They have the best cocktails for the best deal at Happy Hour - most are just $5 that are regularly $8-10.

Bolsa has many drinks for just $5 before 6pm on the weekdays. This is one of their summer specialties. LATE BLOOMER • Muddled fresh blueberries • Pink Peppercorns • Violette liqueur • Cabeza tequila Lovely.

Fresh summer cocktail! • House-infused watermelon Aylesbury Duck vodka • Fresh lime juice • Mint That's it. Great! $6 at happy hour $11 all other times
