It’s the freakin’ weekend baby and I’ma bout to have me some fun – just as one of the old school rapper’s R. Kelly used to say. Hip, hip hooray for Saturday, the farmer’s market, hanging out around the house, outside running and of course a summer cocktail before dinner tonight with friends. This cocktail is super refreshing and your palette will thank you after you make and drink this. Maybe not your head the next morning, but everything in moderation is ok, right?!
