Lisa's Weekly Coffee: Spring Fever Cocktails And Drinks
I guess by now we are all happy about winter leaving us soon and excited about Spring! The Fever is on and with it comes the idea of refreshing fruits, April showers and obviously flowers in bloom. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we can start celebrating Spring with some exciting and deliciously refreshing cocktails inspired by the Season itself ? Of course it would!
I've chosen, to share with my friends and readers, some of my favorite Spring fever cocktails. For fruits I've chosen the refreshing Fizzing Cherry Cocktail, for rain what better choice than the April Rain Drink and finally for flowers I couldn't resist not sharing this traditional but with a twist of refreshing sparkle the Lavender Sapphire Collins.
These drinks and cocktails are great for Spring time parties and celebrations!
