Did you have a wonderful 4th of July? We went to a BBQ and then watched fireworks from our balcony. I took about 2 dozen photos and now will have to see how many of them actually turned out since fireworks are tough to capture with a cellphone.
I just love watching the firework shows with family in the summer. Another thing I love about summer is refreshing summer cocktails. Especially ones made with the fresh fruits of summer. So today I am sharing a fun Pineapple Daiquiri Recipe.
This delicious drink is one of our easy cocktail recipes you will want to bookmark for later.
