Claire is a girl after my own heart! She writes over at Bicoastally. Claire is a San Francisco transplant and originally from Georgia (like me!). At this point in our trip, hopefully Claire and I will have met! She has a lot of the same moral views as me and does some pretty amazing work for a living as well as in her free time (hint: it involves the San Quentin prison)! Claire is really an inspiration, but she has a love for all drinks alcoholic as I do.
I love how Claire just wrapped up everything for drinking June and our guest posts overall!

Hi there, Skinny Jeans & a Chai Latte readers! I'm especially excited to be writing this guest post, cause Kristin's headed to California . . . where I'll get to meet up with her for a beer! I'm here to share a couple of my favorite summer drinks, in keeping with Kristin's "Drinking June" theme.
1. Beer:
This is my favorite summer beer. I'm a sucker for wheat beers anyway, and this one is SO REFRESHING on a sunny day. Add an orange slice and I'm one happy girl.
2. Smoothie:
I'm all about the green smoothies. They're the perfect summer (or any season) breakfast. Here's my favorite take on the Green Monster:

2. Smoothie:
I'm all about the green smoothies. They're the perfect summer (or any season) breakfast. Here's my favorite take on the Green Monster:
1 tbsn flax seed
2 big handfuls baby spinach
1 banana
1 big tbsn almond butter
handful of frozen strawberries
Et voila--delicious & healthy breakfast.
3. Etc.:
Coffee is my #1 homie, my sweet addiction, that-which-keeps-me-going. I don't know what I'd do without it. I prefer mine darkly roasted with half & half (no sugar), and all the better if it's from a local company. Peet's is a chain, but it's local, and it's sooooooo good:
4. Wine:
I just don't feel right writing a post about drinking without mentioning my first love: wine. While I'm a red drinker throughout most of the year, I turn to crisp whites in the summer. One of my favorites is from Napa Valley's own Cakebread Cellars. Their 2011 Sauvignon Blanc is light & delicious, and it's one of their most affordable wines:
Lucky for me, Cakebread is only about a 45 minute drive from my house, and it's one of my favorite wineries to visit.
Thanks for having me! Come say hi & let me know all about your favorite summer drinks. :)

I love Blue Moon beer and I am so sad that we don't get it here in Canada.
I miss a good Blue Moon with a slice of orange! Especially on tap.
p.s. I'm going to go visit Claire's blog now :)
I love green smoothies!!! Great recipe!
Thanks for having me :)
I already have blue moons but I need to try these others on the list! If Claire approves, it's right by me!
oh i would do anything for a blue moon!!! nothing to me says summer must like a cold beer in this texas heat! (blue moons make me think of Chris though! i love me some stella or amstel light)
i make my green smoothie like yours except with soy milk (no almond butter) and without the strawberries- i'm thinking i need to add some! i sometimes add frozen blueberries but strawberries sound even better!
