It is that time of the year whereby 10 minute cocktails are what you should be making because they’re hustle- free and felicitous in quenching any Summer thirst you may be experiencing.
This is the first recipe i’ve named in Italian, and the translation is simply ‘ Red Summer Cocktail’. I kid you not, this cocktail is sensational and the blend of flavours is flawless! You should totally treat your taste buds to this because they are going to dislike you if you don’t.
