4th of July is right around the corner! Can you believe it? Where has the year gone!
I loooooooooooooove 4th of July, always have. Could be because my dad always bought fireworks that are illegal in our state – so watching them was laced with a bit of fear. My kids love the 4th. The family all gets together, and we usually have a BBQ, home made ice cream and fresh fruit! We usually top everything off with one of those margarita buckets (you know the ones). Add tequila and freeze! Well from here on out, instead I’m going to be serving these Bacardi Hand Shaken Daiquiri! They are so incredibly easy! They’re ready to pour over ice, and will be so much more delicious than my stinkin margarita buckets!
The Bacardi Hand Shaken Daiquiri is a delicious, convenient, ready-to-serve cocktail that’s perfect for entertaining. It’s a quick and easy solution for entertaining guests at home or hosting sophisticated summer parties. You can serve the Bacardi Daiquiri over ice or garnish with a lime wedge, or just chill, pour, and enjoy! This product is unlike any other Bacardi product – it’s new – and looks totally delicious!
This summer, rediscover the daiquiri. Bacardi Hand Shaken Daiquiri is the perfect addition to any summer get-together — fun, delicious, and ready to pour. Bacardi Hand Shaken Daiquiri is made with Bacardi Superior Rum, tangy lime and sugar. It is a perfectly balanced cocktail that is not too sour and not too sweet. http://bacardidaiquiri.glam.com

4th of July Perfect Menu ideas to go with your Bacardi Hand Shaken Daiquiri!
Ribs!
Who doesn’t love ribs (besides vegetarians)? Here’s what I think is the perfect rub for your ribs! This rub is your “best odds” to smoking great set of ribs. This savory rub will add a lot of flavor without detracting from the natural flavor of the meat.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutesYield: Makes about 1 1/4 cup
Ingredients:
•1/3 cup paprika
•3 tablespoons dry mustard
•3 tablespoons onion powder
•3 tablespoons garlic powder
•2 tablespoons ground basil
•1 tablespoon black pepper
•1 tablespoon salt
•2 teaspoons red pepper (1 tablespoon if you want it hot)
Preparation:
Combine all ingredients. Store in an airtight container. When applying to ribs, coat heavily and massage into the meat. If you want to make a sweet rub add 2 tablespoons of brown sugar.
Fruit Salad!
My sister-in-law introduced me to this fruit salad, and it’s is hands down my favorite. It’s so easy – yet so delicious! All you do is take all the different kinds of fruit you like (and are in season). Cut them into bite sized pieces and put them in a large bowl! Take one small container of good-quality vanilla yogurt, and add the yogurt at the end. Mix, and let sit for at least 30 minutes. What the fruit and the yogurt does together is amazing AND delicious!
GRILLED Corn on the Cob!
Ingredients
8 ears corn
Garlic butter, recipe follows
1/2 cup grated cotija cheese
4 fresh limes, quartered
2 tablespoons chopped chives, for garnish

Unwrap corn and brush with the garlic butter. Sprinkle with the cotija cheese and squeeze with lime. Sprinkle with chopped chives, to garnish
