5 Flavorful Vodka Cocktails For Warm Weather Outdoor Drinking

For me Hoboken’s annual St. Patrick’s Day festivities mark the beginning of spring in New York City. Hoboken’s unofficial boozefest “Lepre-con” took place on Saturday and like clock work the warm weather followed. Yeah, we had a mild winter but temperatures over the next few days are going to be nearly 70 degrees. This weekend the clocks also spring forward an hour so when you leave work it’ll still be bright outside. Both major wins for fans of outdoor drinking. Since spring is officially here in New York City it’s time to bust out of your sell, throw on some shorts & a t-shirt and treat yourself to a much deserved cocktail. Don’t even think about slamming a vodka soda, retire it with your winter clothing and move onto something with flavor. Spring is the season of the Peach so check out these five peach flavored cocktails you need to mix up at your first outdoor booze fest of the year.
