Nothing says summer's not quite over like a watermelon margarita - minus the tequila. This one comes together in about two minutes flat: watermelon juice, a splash of club soda for fizz, and This Girl Walks Into a Bar's margarita mix doing all the heavy lifting on flavor. A Tajín rim brings the salty-spicy kick, a squeeze of lime finishes it off, and you've got something that tastes like a cocktail without the tequila (but you can add it in if you'd like). I am completely obsessed with this mixer line - it's become a staple in my kitchen - and they're giving Valerie's Place members 30% off their entire order.

Homemade raspberry syrup is combined with fresh lemon juice and topped with chilled prosecco in a champagne flute for a sparkling, rosy sip. This celebratory cocktail ties the meal together, sharing the same raspberry syrup used in the salad for a thoughtful, cohesive menu.
