It’s definitely feeling like Summer here in Texas. This cocktail will have you feeling like you are able to travel and sitting on a beach in some tropical location in no time! Since it’s a little heavier I think one or two tops as a pre-dinner happy hour drink works just right. For a party it would be super easy to whip up a pitcher full and just add cherries as you fill glasses.
