Watermelon Negroni Flip
We’re gonna get a little crazy with this next one. Negronis are one of my my all-time favorite cocktails and the addition of watermelon and egg makes for an awesome variation on the classic…yes, raw egg! Adding egg whites to cocktails is a great way to add body and texture […]
