Before You Start Mixing
Before we start mixing, make sure you have your cocktail kit ready to go. A proper shaker, jigger and strainer will make the process smoother and help you create a better balanced drink. . If you are still building your home bar, we recommend the Barillio cocktail kit here. Now let’s shake up something great.
When to Serve This Cocktail
This is the kind of drink you bring out when you want things to feel relaxed.
It works well for Easter lunches, casual get-togethers, or even just something fun to sip on in the afternoon.

Make It Even Better
Once you have made this once, you can easily change it up.

Swap pink lemonade for a sparkling version if you want more bubbles.
Or add a squeeze of lime to give it a slightly sharper finish.
It is a very flexible drink that you can adjust depending on what you have on hand.
