This has been one of those weeks! Each day has been packed to the brim with loads of work, toting kids to and from an abundance of activities and I'll be heading to Chuck E. Cheese tomorrow night for my kid's spirit night.... so needless to say I am beyond ready for the weekend! I came across this recipe a few weeks ago and it reminded me of one of my mom's favorite cocktails served at Leaping Lizard Cafe in Virginia Beach. I tested a batch out recently and it's definitely a recipe that will be on regular rotation for the Spring & Summer.
Happy Thursday, friends, we're almost to the weekend! Enjoy.
