Thanks for sharing this amazing post –
It's been a while since I tried cocktails. Vodka is my poison so I think I would really like the 'Raspberry Caipiroska' :)Thanks so much for sharing with #MMBC. Have a lovely weekend x

Thanks Jayne 🙂
I like vodka and love raspberries so would definitely enjoy the raspberry Caipiroska. Mind you I would probably be under the table after one!
Mm, that G&T sounds amazing. Even the picture just looks refreshing. 🙂
This is a great post! I've been all about the Cuba Libres recently!
I'll take one Tequilita Sunrise please. heheheAll of these cocktails sound so good x #MMBC
I'd try the Tequilita Sunrise – not keen on tonic so that put me off the G&T! 😉
I lie the idea of these cocktails as you have a limited amount of ingredients , which means easy to get and not too expensive.
