It’s simple and easy to make, and perfect for warm evenings summertime gatherings. I created this berry basil gin and tonic cocktail last summer for a quick happy hour with friends on our patio.

My favorite no-bake desserts all in one place! From creamy cheesecake bars and icebox cake to chocolate peanut butter bars and so much more. No-bake desserts are your best friend when it’s too hot to turn on the oven, or when you don’t have access to an oven. They also make for a great make-ahead dessert option since all the work is up-front and it can just hang out in the fridge or on the counter until you’re ready to serve.
