"Amazing experience! We had a casual wedding with close family and friends, and needed help putting together two cocktails that could be batched and served easily to our guests. The recipes were easy to follow and came with exact amounts on every item we needed, and tasted SO good! Our guests loved the cocktails and we are continually getting asked for the recipe for the cucumber jalapaneo margarita 🤤 so good! Thank you again"
