Since that little feral weather-predictor was unable to see his shadow in Punxsutawney, spring kicked off early. The last few days here in Dallas, however, the rain washed away the heat and left a chill.

Check out Kristy's presentation, which ranges from The Ginger Lime Margarita at Lumi to The Porch's grapefruit agave gimlet, and enjoy a few cocktail-porn shots after the jump.

Afterward, you may want some pie.
