Now that we have a little more time to spend at home, why not explore your inner mixologist? I love trying out new cocktails! Plus, who doesn’t love a fancy looking drink for that cute Instagram post? Even though making cocktails can be fun, it can be hard to know what goes well together.
One place I love looking for new drink ideas is Pinterest. They always have fun new drinks to try and tons of drinks to go with every holiday or celebration.
Recently, I stumbled on a website called “Make Me a Cocktail.” This website is SO COOL! You just select everything you have on hand at home: alcohol, mixers, fruits, etc. and then click “make me a cocktail” and it will give you recipes for all types of cocktails you can make with the supplies on hand!
Margaritas and Moscow Mules are my personal favorites! Here are a couple recipes from Pinterest I love!

Margarita Recipe

Coffee Frappuccino
This recipe was a first for me! I got it from the cocktail website, it ended up being pretty tasty and did not have a vodka taste, just a little kick!
