Happy Thirsty Thursday!!!
I know that a couple months ago I posted a Blueberry Salty Dog made with gin- but I had to share this variation with you before the cherry season is over! I made it with vodka and then brought in delicious sweet and sour cherries to blend with the sweet and bitter grapefruit juice. What an amazing combination.
I am heading out this #ThirstyThursday in deep search of new and amazing cocktail inspiration. Follow along on Instagram to see what I will be drinking. Any special requests that you might have for this Summer? Tis the season for fruity and exotic cocktails!
