OK, so summer technically doesn’t start until June 20, but in our imaginations, summer starts right on Memorial Day weekend. We’re ready to bust out our crop tops, get our grills ready for the BBQ party, and shake up some fruity cocktails for the long weekend.
We found a delicious fruity recipe for you to try this weekend! Beauty and Essex created a melon mojito that will take your taste buds straight to summer — even if you aren’t spending MDW at the beach or in the pool.
