Big-Batch Summer Drinks
I am so ready for times in the pool, having the family and friends over and getting tan while drinking some fruity juice (virgin at for me) with some extra spirits.
If you want to be able to enjoy with your guests you need to plan ahead and make food and drinks you don’t have to put together one by one. There is nothing worst than after you jump in the pool, your guest asks for a custom drink.
That is why this post will make you be the best hostess and will let you enjoy as well.
Check out this big batch Summer Drinks Buzzfeed has put together.
I am feeling thirsty already!
