GINGER ICE CREAM

GINGER ICE CREAM

MANGO BASIL MIMOSA

MANGO BASIL MIMOSA

I will never be the girl sitting at a bar sipping bourbon while scoping out the scene. I’m the girl day drinking on the patio with the fruitiest cocktail on the menu. Now that I have had so many cocktails, I have taken my inspirations
