The weekend has come to an end and some of us are sad to see it go.
For some, they’ll greet Monday with mixed feelings as it will mean a returning back to work after a month and week pause due to the COVID-19 induced lockdown.
If there was ever a time to make tasty cocktails, this is one. Quite frankly, there is never a bad time to make your own drinks.
Ever sat in a bar watching the bartender whip up a drink and admired just how he does it? Then you’re in the right place to learn.
This doesn’t mean you could compete with that guy that mixes drinks for a living because that’s clearly a reach.
But you could very well surprise yourself how good yours will taste too.
Here are three cocktail ideas you could try at home.
