Summer is looking different this year—Welcome to the new normal!
These are uncertain times for everyone across the globe and we’re all trying to make the most of it in our own ways. Staying at home and self-isolating is the best thing we can do to step up and do our part. As a team we do Zoom Happy Hours weekly to keep connected and stay in touch; social isolation can massively effect your mental health.
We hightlighted some of our favorite cocktail recipes shared by Grand Marnier Influencers in April. These are easy-to-make cocktail recipes to elevate the precious time you have with friends and family. Up your mixology game by making one, cheers!
