It's that time of the year.... Independence Day Weekend! For some of us it's a long weekend, which is good to hang out with friends and family. One of my favorite things to do during this weekend or just generally in the summer is to make some tasty cocktails. I put together 6 cocktails that are fun to make and delicious to taste.
What are you favorite cocktails for the Summer?
