Stick around this summer for some fun drinks with just a bit of a buzz! And we’re starting with two favorites – a hard limonana and a sea breeze.
Sometimes you want to serve a little special something – for the grown-ups. And what could be more fun than a refreshing cocktail?
We wanted to bring you some fun recipes – but this one is a bit outside our field of expertise. So we reached out to Just Add Ice to see what they would share with all of you. And, of course, they came through with some fun drinks that are easy to put together at home. Because that’s the way we do it here at Between Carpools!
The recipes are for one serving of each drink – make sure to make enough for your friends!
