Happy Friday, my Lazy Brides! Today's cocktail is not only scrumptious but budget friendly as well! Woo hoo! The swell gals over at LearnVest have put together some great drink ideas that won't break the bank. The Berry Bash uses the sophisticated taste of bourbon with a lovely underpinning of fresh orange. Perfect for a signature cocktail or enjoy a few on the deck. Cheers!
