A Summer Must: The Salty Dog Cocktail
Summer is almost here. We are so ready to break out the white jeans, beach drinks, and long leisurely summer nights. I mean is there any time of year more nostalgic than summer? When I think of summer I have specific smells and feelings that coming rushing in. There’s no season that truly makes me long to be a kid again than summer.
Summer is for soaking in every magnificent moment — taking bike rides, walking barefoot, eating food on a stick at all the local carnivals, playing putt-putt golf, taking spontaneous road trips, jumping into the lake, and maybe even being a bit lazy.
Which brings me to today’s Salty Dog recipe. This is the easiest, and perfect cocktail for those lazy days of summer. Get the recipe below, and whip up a batch sooner rather than later.
