While beer is my drink of choice, sometimes I like to spice it up with a fruity alcoholic beverage! Now, I must admit, I am not the best bartender. So, I bought The Cocktail Handbook to help me measure the perfect concoctions.
After a few nights of practice, I did it! I was able to measure a few alcoholic masterpieces! To spread the joy, here the three tasty cocktails I perfected to help you start your evening out right! Enjoy!
