Hello Friday.. 😉  It’s 5 O’clock somewhere… So someone’s weekend has started already and I’ve got some cocktail goodness to share with y’all…
I love trying cocktails and lemonades with all kind of fresh fruits. Recently, I got my hands on some fresh pineapple and sometimes I totally forget to cut up my pineapples. Seriously. But that’s when a great refreshing recipe comes in picture.
So I decided to get creative..
Here are some favorites to help kick start the weekend chill.
