This cocktail was my sister Lauren’s specialty this past summer. It’s a great margarita alternative and can be enjoyed at cocktail hour or anytime during the day in the summer because, come on, it’s summer.
Before the fall officially comes in and we all start drinking pumpkin spice lattes and ciders and mulled wine, let’s have one last fruity and refreshing summer cocktail. Cheers to another summer that came and went too soon!
