Are you starting to dream of the summer days where
you get to sip your favorite cocktail and bask in the sun? If so, it’s time to
fill up your pitcher and enjoy the beautiful weather and share with friends and
family.
Us girls met the other
day for dinner/happy hour and Colleen ordered a mojito. When it was brought to
the table it looked absolutely delicious. My wheels started to turn as I
thought about my upcoming beach vacation. I love a great summery cocktail and I
quickly began thinking about what I will be making to accompany me at the
beach.
