Hey guys, is anyone ready for a cocktail yet? I know I am.
Thursday’s not too early in the week for cocktail hour is it? I should hope not. Thanks so much to those of you who shared all about your favourite cocktails last week, it was so insightful and it gave us soooo many ideas about what we want to make for you guys in the future. It’s almost the silly season and we can’t wait :). Today we’re going to share with you a fresh cocktail that’s guaranteed to get your weekend started early… A champagne lemon drop. Enjoy!
Champagne Lemon Drop Cocktail

We hope you agree!
