The past three months did not resemble summer as we know it. There were less exotic vacations, less trips with friends/loved ones, and of course, less indulging in a tasty spirit in a favorite locale by the beach, hotel, or restaurant.
But just because summer’s almost over, doesn’t mean we can’t still enjoy some good vibes and a good drink. Whether that trip to Mexico was cancelled or they’re dreaming about relaxing in the Caribbean with a drink in hand and toes in the sand, there is a recipe out there to help us feel like we’re somewhere more exotic – and let’s face it, we all could use a drink right now! So here are a few end of summer sips to help transport you to your favorite hotel.
