How’s your Summer going? We’re half of the way through and it’s only getting hotter. The perfect answer to a hot day is a cold drink, so we’ve rounded up 7 simple summer cocktails to try this summer. If you’re headed to the beach, or enjoying the pool, you probably don’t want to waste time making drinks so you grab a beer or one of those nasty malt drinks at the grocery, but with these you can have a drink that’s both quick and delicious. We’ve got a lil something for everyone so be sure to try them all.
Cheers,
Alex
