It’s strawberry season! I love a reason to showcase one of my favorite berries and I couldn’t think of a better way to do it than in this D to the LISH cocktail! Call your besties and plan a happy hour with this on the menu! It’s so easy to throw together and a definite crowd pleaser. The strawberries are perfectly sweet and tart with the grapefruit and lime juice. I used 1800 Blanco tequila in this cocktail and topped it with the ever refreshing Squirt soda. When you want an option that’s not a margarita, this can be your go to! Enjoy!
