Fruit That’s Never Forbidden
Nothing says summer like cool, sweet fruit. No matter where you are on a hot summer day, it’s hard to refuse something that is filled with fruit. From summer ades to adult cocktails, to a fresh salad with red juicy strawberries, or maybe a yummy dessert that you make for a party, adding fruit will turn something dull into something that is divine. By Julia Romano
For the adults, Watermelon Sangria is a sweet, hydrating, and downright refreshing cocktail drink that will be a huge hit at any size party.
