This past weekend, we tried something a little outside of our comfort zone... making cocktails! I've only made punch, poured shots, or mixed some liquor with soda. I've never actually tried making a cocktail myself, but I was surprised to find that it's actually a ton of fun! I still have a lot to learn, but we were able to put together some super easy (guilt-free for all those New Years resolutioners still going strong) cocktails for y'all!

For these cocktails, we used Yerbae, which if you've never of it, it's a non-GMO, no sugar/sweetener-added enhanced sparkling water with 100 mg of caffeine. I've never been a fan of sparkling waters, but the flavors are really tasty and the caffeine is such a great bonus! If you've never been a fan of coffee or if you're trying cut energy drinks of of your diet, these are a great alternative!
