Thirsty Thursday

To me there is nothing better than enjoying a refreshing fabulous cocktail on a hot summer's day, especially if you are spending the day with your girlfriends!! I have a few upcoming parties where I will be bringing the booze so I have been scouring the net for some fun recipes. Here are a few that I am thinking of trying.
