The Fourth of July is tomorrow and if you don’t have a signature cocktail in order yet, fear not. We’ve got two festive recipes from a vodka brand worth trying out at home. They’re cold, colorful, and refreshing, meaning they’re more than welcome on a long summer weekend.
Deep Eddy set us up with pair of cocktails befitting of the weekend, each with a trio of colors and flavors. In the end, you’re set up with a beverage that can handle even the hottest afternoon as you try out some easy grilling recipes. And you can dress them up any way you like, adding cool straws or garnishes.
