Fourth of July might be one of my favorite holidays. For years I’ve been traveling to the midwest to spend time with my wife’s family on their boat. As someone who never grew up on the lake, I didn’t really understand that “lake life” until I experienced it first hand. And let me tell you, it’s an absolute blast. Warm weather, endless bbq, and delicious cocktails.
This year, I will be bringing a new summery cocktail creation to the lake from my friends at BACARDI. This deliciously refreshing rum cocktail is called the Summer Watermelon Cooler and it’s sure to be a hit. Try the recipe below:
