MERMAID SIPS
With heated balance and mindfulness in charge, we do need something to cool us down! This beverage is quite festive for the fourth of July weekend, especially with the Blue Curaçao. It is a lighter version of the Drunken Mermaid (something my daughter has introduced me too ;). The sparkling water helps keep you more hydrated than your average summer alcoholic beverage, as well as makes it last longer, so one goes a longer way.
