Summer Melon Slushtail

RECIPE CONTRIBUTOR | HOMEIRAStyle

Summer is here and that calls for colorful sexy slushy cocktails that are just as beautiful as they are delicious and refreshing. Do not get intimidated by cocktail recipes, you don’t need to be a mixologist. Trust me! I do not like anything complicated. Fancy, fast, fun and tasty! Slushtails can be boozy or alcohol free.
