2020 has been a very odd year so far. We’ve had 29 days in February, 300 in March and so far what feels about a thousand in April.
That said, somehow, we’ve reached the Easter weekend!
I was reminiscing with a friend about what we were doing this time last year and how much fun we had as a group. Sadly, we can’t re-create those memories but it’s still important to try and make the best of this bizarre situation we find ourselves in.
Whether you’re spending time with family, friends or hosting a party for one, there’s Always time for cocktails!
Get ready to raid your drinks cabinet, dust off the bottles and task yourself with putting together some delectable springtime cocktails. The below are bound to lighten the mood and kick off the Easter festivities!
