It’s a long holiday weekend coming up and here are some easy-to-make cocktails for Memorial Day Weekend. Let’s start by saying that first and foremost, Memorial Day weekend is a federal holiday to honor and mourn the U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces. That is why we have this holiday and let’s not forget it.
Memorial Day weekend is also the kind of unofficial, official kick-off to summer. While summer doesn’t officially start until Thursday, June 20th, we like to kick it off this weekend. This weekend many people will be putting the boat in the water, opening the pool, and getting the yard ready for Summer.
