The freshest cocktail to kick off summer!
Lakeside Libations are BACK! I am so excited for this! If you have been following along for a bit, you know that I love a good cocktail and last year I did a summer Lakeside Libations series. I am so excited to bring it back this summer and to kick it off with such a tasty drink!
I saw this cocktail on the ‘gram and had to recreate it for myself immediately! I am now head over heels over it–crisp, not too sweet, slightly sour, bubbly and fragrant from the cilantro and cucumber. It’s just so different and delicious! Perfect with both vodka and tequila so take your pick!
This cocktail is so FRESH and tasty–perfect for those summer evenings or a brunch on the deck or patio!
Give it a try and be sure to tag me on social media when you do!
Sending you a big virtual cheers to the start of summer!!
