It’s Friday. It’s Summer. It’s time for a cocktail!
I’ve always loved Summer as the days are longer, warmer and happier. There seems to be a permanent smile on my face and I find I have more time to enjoy the fun and festive things in life… like cocktails! I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for fruity cocktails and today I get to share a gorgeous cocktail recipe with you from the brilliant mind of Rebecca D’Amato Kobus, blogger, stylist and event planner from Urban Flip Flops. Ever since we did this shoot, this has become one of my favourite cocktails and it’s perfect for a tropical destination wedding!
Together with Rebecca and April from Tea America, we put together this delicious cocktail shoot; a fusion of all things from the Sunshine State, Florida, where Rebecca used to live. We thought for Summer it would be amazing to pair a delicious cocktail with a few amazing homemade key lime tarts for a little destination wedding inspiration.
