New York Fashion Week is almost over but I was sent these killer cocktail recipes that are amazing. So what’s a girl to do but share them with her friends, right? (And we are friends, aren’t we?)
While you might not have the ingredients on hand tonight, you do have time to hit a supermarket or specialty liquor store to buy the fixings for one (or more) or these super-tasty libations!

Bitter ingredients are often overlooked, but they truly make the flavor profile of the drink expand. All of these recipes appeal to my taste. The addition of fizz makes it festive too..not to mention the vibrant color of Aperol.
