Hello friends!! In honor of national watermelon day this week, we decided to use this amazing fruit as our focus on the Summer cocktail series. Watermelon is so summer, so refreshing and so yummy on a hot day. We mixed it with a little cuban flair…the mojito and it’s truly killer. Here’s the pretty cocktail and how to kick off your weekend now!!
