BEACH CONDO COSMOS (Adapted from Recipegirl)

Since I try to get to the beach as often as possible, (my happy place), the name “beach condo” was the choice! And the pinkish color of the drink screams summer!  This recipe makes about 10 small (martini sized) drinks.  Adjust ratios as needed.

4 cups prepared limeade
2 cups vodka
1 cup cranberry juice
1/2 cup triple sec
12 lime slices or a spritz of lime juice in each glass
Lots of ice

Prepare the limeade as directed on the can.

Then mix all ingredients in a pitcher. Place in the refrigerator and let chill for 2 to 3 hours. Serve in martini glasses and garnish with a lime slice if desired.

Sunrise or sunset?  I love them both, but sunrises are my favorite – the beginning of a new day, it’s peaceful (since I’m usually the only one awake!), spiritual, and at the beach, spectacularly beautiful.  A sunrise pic of my little slice of heaven:
