Your next epic summer party deserves equally fabulous beverages to sip. Instead of sticking to the usuals — beer, Henny, a bottle of moscato — try a more sophisticated sip. I shared some of my favorites for Summer 2014 with ESSENCE.com, whether you’re pouring for just a few or serving a crowd.

    I saw you listed as one of the Empowerment speakers at Essence this year. I was wondering if you were the Sharon Boone who used to work for Flori Roberts Cosmetics?
