A signature cocktail can make a party. It also helps puts the host at ease. With one great drink, you don’t have to worry about replenishing an array of different options. I always opt for one great option that all guests will enjoy (of course with iced tea and water as complements). For a summer party, I always love a gin-based drink and this grapefruit spritzer does the trick!
Make this your summer staple for parties and your friends will thank you!
