With summer just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about how we’re going to spend our summer nights. Now that we’re in college, summers tend to be more focused on internships and jobs, and by the time our 9:00-5:00 day ends, sometimes nothing sounds better than a good drink.
Here are three drinks to get you in the mood for summertime.
Looking for something refreshing and citrusy? Try this drink—with a mixture of sweet and sour you’ll be coming back for seconds.
Ingredients:
