Google+ Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr

It’s been nearly 3 weeks since the first day of “Spring” but from the looks of the weather around the country it sure doesn’t feel like it! Warm weather or not, there’s no reason you can’t start planning a Spring house party, indoors or out, you just need to find an excuse. Earth Day is April 22nd, so that’s good enough for us! To get you started we’ve got a couple super simple cocktails using one of favorite cider brands, Angry Orchard. 4 Ingredients is all you’ll need to make either of these, and I promise you, unless you hate cider, you won’t be disappointed.

Cheers!
