This is the perfect summer cocktail! I spend a lot of time by our pool in the summer, and I think I’ll be sipping on this throughout the season!
This sounds like an awesome cocktail. I love that it’s sweet but not too sweet. I usually don’t drink margaritas because they’re always just too overpoweringly sweet.
Oh, this sounds like the perfect cocktail. I don’t drink but I bet my girlfriends would really enjoy this especially at their summer parties.
