Vacation Dreaming

Real talk. Memorial Day is this weekend which means summer is beginning and I’m itching to go somewhere. Anywhere really, but preferably somewhere tropical. Since there seems to be no vacations in sight, I decided I would go on a mental vacation and make a cocktail that makes me feel like I’m on a beach.

This cocktail is everything! I’m not going to lie, I finished the entire thing… both servings. It was that good. It’s surprisingly light and crisp. I’m not a sweet cocktail drinker so I was a little worried this would be too sweet for me but it’s not. It’s so so good! I encourage you to make this, close your eyes, and pretend you’re on a beach.

Enjoy!
