Cocktail Inspiration:

The inspiration is a perfect warm weather sipper with an unexpected twist. It’s a feel good, easy to enjoy cocktail just like the Fruit Bats song, When U Love Somebody. We have a second floor veranda at my bar and I wanted to make something guests could enjoy while watching our historic small town from above.
