Great Summer Cocktail Recipes
Summer cocktail recipes please?
I was watching Oprah yesterday, and she talked about the Tangerita, this new summer cocktail she invented (fresh squeezed tangerines, tequila, and triple sec). It got me thinking… what are some other great cocktails for summer, and how do you make them?
I’d love to throw a cocktail party this summer; but I’m fairly new to playing bartender. Any ideas will be a big help; thanks!
Here are some refreshing & tasty cocktails all of varying colors, I have included, blue, white, yellow, red, & green….
