Patriotic Slushy Cocktail
The 4th of July is around the corner, and that means it’s time to start doing a little menu planning! While most people probably focus on the essentials like hot dogs, burgers, brats, and pasta salad, we thought we’d take a moment to talk about another important component – the cocktails! Today we are excited to introduce you to the Patriotic Slushy Cocktail!
