Today we celebrated Lori’s birthday with a summery cocktail in the studio! Kristen brought in supplies for a delicious Watermelon Margarita, altered slightly from a Bobby Flay recipe. We sipped our fresh beverages, ate chips + homemade guacamole made by Katie, celebrated the day, and “Cheers”-ed to summer.
Spill it: We’d love to hear how your Watermelon Margarita turns out! Or maybe you have a favorite signature drink already… please do share!
