Confession time! Mixing cocktails at home deeply intimidates me. Anything more complex than a 1:1 pour of tequila with pamplemousse La Croix and I feel totally out of my comfort zone. So you can imagine my unfettered delight at the rise in availability of delicious pre-mixed cocktails this summer season. Many are healthy, boasting unique and hard-to-find ingredients, and the best part is, they are 100% fool proof when it comes to mixing. Plus, for anyone worried about touching many surfaces during COVID-19 or having a bartender mix something for you, this takes almost all of the guesswork out of sanitation. Just crack a cold can, and let summer refreshment wash over you!
