I think I would go crazy if I weren’t adding a little fun to my day— and by fun, I’m talking about Mike’s Hard Lemonade.

In the evenings when I’m wrapping presents or planning our holiday dinner, I have been making colorful holiday cocktails with Mike’s Hard Lemonade 6-pack.

These beverages are adding some much-needed joy to my day, and of course, they taste fantastic because I’m using Mike’s Hard Lemonade Original as the base.

My new favorite holiday drink recipe is super easy to make and instantly puts me in the spirit, even after a hectic day — I’m calling it the Holly Jolly Cocktail and I know you want the recipe!
