At Myra and Leigh’s dinner parties, Bruce Cable politely sips wine alongside Noelle, contributing to the witty conversation amongst Camino Island’s literary crowd. But when Noelle is doing business in the South of France and Bruce is hosting a small get-together with friends, he sheds the seersucker suits for shorts and a golf shirt, and trades wine for dangerously tasty lemon daiquiris.

Perhaps if Noelle were in town, she would be squeezing fresh citronnade for the occasion… but since she isn’t, Bruce would likely keep things easy and opt for store-bought lemonade. Either way, whether you’re using homemade or store bought lemonade, these lemon daiquiris are just the ticket to complete your summer soirée.
