The Perfect Cocktail Recipes for Your Summer Party

Summer is just around the corner and many of us will be attending our hosting various get-togethers and parties throughout the summer season. During the summertime, we like to serve light and refreshing cocktails that our guests will enjoy.

Here are two perfect cocktail recipes for your next summer party or family get-together. They are courtesy of Sparkling ICE and Santa Margherita.
