This month, National Rosé Day (6/8), World Gin Day (6/9), and National Iced Tea Day (6/10) all fall back to back for a beverage filled weekend we won’t (or will!) soon forget.
To celebrate, we’ve created a themed cocktail you can drink without fear that you aren’t participating in all the fun. Don’t worry-we’ve got your back.
