Tropical Cocktails (for Christmas?), Yes Please!
Hey, loves! My name is Raeya, and I'm going to share with you my 4 favorite drinks to make when I'm chillin' at home. Not only are these drinks super easy to make, but they share many common ingredients!
I've worked at craft cocktail bars, sports bars, and nightclubs for over 5 years now. Basically any establishment that has a bar, I'm there. Disclaimer: I'm a tequila and whiskey type of girl, so these drinks are not for the weak.
