This weekend looks like it's going to be a warm one, so why not chill out with some refreshing drinks? Today I've created a light, summery, fun shot for you and your friends* to enjoy together on this lovely June weekend (*or it could be just for you if you feel like taking 4 shots. I won't judge.).
