This holiday weekend holds some of my favorite summertime traditions… fireworks, sparklers, s’mores, warm summer nights, laughs with family and friends and of course, kicking it all off with a fabulous cocktail. For those of you saying your I Do’s this weekend (or if you’re planning a Fourth of July fete for next year!), this colorful sip adorned with striped red straws will have you toasting in style. A huge thanks to Strawberry Milk Events for providing the recipe and KT Merry for her festive capture!
