Independence Day is Wednesday. Today is Sunday. Do you have your cocktail recipes in order for the 4th? If not, allow us to help you.

Festive, fruity cocktails are a bare necessity at any 4th of July fete. Russian Standard vodka is a prime choice for the perfect cocktail due its light peppery notes which blend impeccably well with summer’s fruits.
