For the next two weeks, I am going to be in Florida for a work trip. I am excited to escape the cold that has been blanketing our area. While I packed, I decided to make up a drink that tastes like sunshine and warmer places. If you can’t escape the cold, at least you can pretend to while sipping on one of these. It is a little on the sweet side, but you can always put it in a bigger glass and cut it with more sparkling water.
