She leaves us with her infamous recipe, Southern-ish Potato Salad. Then, we talk easy, light, and refreshing cocktails that are perfect for your guests on a hot summer day with bartender, Natasha David. From incorporating watermelon juice into punches to adding fruit liquor to a spritz, she has great ideas for low-alcohol drinking.
