Skinny Beer-Garitas

Since I will be working for 13 days straight a girl is entitled to dream a bit right?  How about the perfect weekend off!  This would include sleeping in till 10am, talking the dogs for a walk on the beach, a mani and pedi, followed by a mini shopping spree for some new fall staples, and then hanging on the back porch with my ladies and our guys and enjoying this delicious looking cocktail!  It's not quite fall weather yet, so some low calories cold cocktails are the perfect end to the day!  Much thanks to Eat Yourself Skinny for this delightful treat!
