Hey mommas! Happy Friday to ya!! Hope you girls are enjoying your summer break so far. I know I sure am. I'm sure I'll get tired of not having any personal time before too long, but for now I am loving having my babies home. We've been getting lots of extra snuggle time in this week, and that's definitely my favorite part about having them home for summer.
We were out of town last weekend for Memorial Day for part of the weekend, and we came home to a pretty bare pantry. While my husband was grilling up some things we had scrounged together out of the fridge, I was really craving a cocktail but I wasn't sure what I even had to make a cocktail with! Out of a little bit of desperation and some creativity, this delicious cocktail was born. And girls, I am so glad it did. I call it a Malibu Mule. It's a take on a Moscow Mule but with a summery vibe! It is oh so good. Don't you love those times you have nothing in your house, but somehow you make something fabulous out of it?! Heck yeah!
I'll be making this cocktail all summer long....empty pantry or not! It is THAT good. Try it out this weekend. I know you're going to love it too! Cheers mommas!
