Happy Friday, everyone! It’s going to be another hot summer weekend.
I’m loving the Blueberry Rum Smash right now. Blueberries, brown sugar, lemon juice, rum and club soda, maybe even a little fresh mint — all smashed together.
It’s been so hot here in North Carolina lately, and this cool drink does wonders to help beat the heat. What are your favorite summertime cocktails?
Let me know on Twitter. Enjoy your weekend!
