Fourth of July is a week from this Sunday. Have you begun planning your celebration?
What time will the party begin? Who will you invite? What food will you serve? With so many things to consider, you may decide to take the easy route on beverages and simply provide coolers filled with soda and beer. However, for a once a year event, doesn’t it seem worth the effort to make a special cocktail for the occasion?
Feeling Blue is the perfect cocktail for a Fourth of July party. First, it is a bright blue drink that will coordinate nicely with your red, white, and blue decorations. Second, it has a refreshing orange flavor, which will help keep your guests cool on a hot summer day. Third, it can be made as an individual drink for each guest, or the recipe can be multiplied to make a pitcher for all of the adults in attendance.
Get ready to celebrate the red, white, and blue with your own festive cocktail!
