As a drinking noob, I’m definitely keeping this list. That way I have a good idea of drinks I can serve to visiting friends! Thanks, Dee!
I want to try that Caipiroska!
MMM that Mai Tai is calling my name. Never had one before but it sounds like something I’d enjoy
Oooooh, that Singapore Sling sounds delicious.
These are all perfect summer party drinks! I love trying new ones too! My guests are always pleased with my choices, so the Tequila Sunrise is a great way to wake up the party!
