Citrus cocktails are wonderful for summer sipping.  Bright, crisp flavor and icy cold…just perfect for cooling off on a hot day!   I’m really excited to partner with Sobieski Vodka to share some wonderful recipes today using their new grapefruit vodka.  Not only are they easy drinks to craft but they’re so beautiful too!  Honestly the colors remind me of hues in a summer sunset and they taste just as divine as they look.  So let’s get right to it today and raise a glass to the dog days of summer!

citrus cocktails…summer fun!
