Health 6 years ago Summer Cocktails in a Pinch
To say we’re excited for summer is an understatement.
We searched the web for the easiest, most delicious cocktail recipes. I always feel like the simplest cocktails end up being the best ones anyways. No crazy ingredients, just the perfect mixes of fruit, fizz, maybe a little spice, and of course the booze {unless you want to make them mocktails, which are of course delicious as well!}.
Without further ado, our roundup of the quickest, easiest, and yummiest summer beverages…
