Watermelon Cooler

Almost 3 years into the blog and sometimes whipping up new and innovative cocktails can be a bit of a stretch (that’s over 150 Fun Drink Fridays!!!).  To then find one that truly blows me away is pretty rare – but this one gets me pretty excited for the warm summer months ahead (like I need any more reason!?).
