It’s been said that spring is nature’s way of saying ‘let’s party’ – and we couldn’t agree more! Spring is one of our favorite seasons to host friends and family for outdoor gatherings – whether it’s a backyard BBQ or picnic in the park. Some of the best organic produce to use during spring, like pea flowers, carrots (yes, you heard that right!), and strawberries bring a lightness and freshness to any cocktail that makes it ready for your next soiree!
