4th of july cocktails

Something I don’t like about a lot of 4th of July cocktail recipe on the internet is that majority of them tend to look and taste exactly the same as one another.

Don’t get me wrong, the cocktails still sound delicious, but this year I want to try something new!

For this cocktail, I wanted to stay on theme but instead bring a new perspective of how a 4th of July cocktail can be created.

Not only is this drink festive for this summer holiday, but it’s super delicious and aesthetically pleasing.

This cocktail is basically a spicy pineapple margarita with honey and cilantro and I’m honestly addicted!

I call this drink the Star Spangled Banner, so let’s make it!

One thing about me is I've always been very in tune with my creative side. Falling in love with bartending was unexpected but I wouldn't have it any other way. I hope you enjoy my creations. Cheers!
