Ahhh….the 4th of July.
Doesn’t it just make you reminisce?
- The fireworks
- The lake
- The bonfire
- The grilling
- The parade
…everyone has their own idea of what the 4th of July should be. But can we all agree that at least one of these things is what makes the 4th so amazing?
For the past 10 years, I’ve had a tradition with my best friends. The lake, great drinks, American flag swim suits, a Captain’s hat, noodles, pasta salad, and teary eyed fireworks.
EVERY YEAR.
Capitalizing on great drinks, this year I’m bringing something special. See, there’s this vodka that my gals and I LOVE, but can rarely find. It’s apple and ginger flavored vodka that basically goes down as easy as water.
Well…at least when it’s mixed with Ginger Beer.
The ginger flavor MUST be capitalized in this drink.
So spicy.
So refreshing.
So…..
Insert expletive here.
Do your best to track this stuff down, you guys. You won’t regret it! But, in a dire situation, regular vodka will do….
I guess.
Here’s to summer, great drinks, amazing friends, life, liberty, and not just the pursuit – but PURE happiness.
Happy 4th friends! Cheers!
