Fun Drink Friday - The June Bug


Ok, so I didn't know they had a name for this, but I guess they would. I'm not to sure why they'd name a drink after a June Bug?? :-/ Have they ever seen one of those suckers?? They're big flying beetles. I remember growing up, you'd be laying in bed trying to sleep and one of those suckers would smack right into the screen. And not a quiet smack, those things have punch! ;-)
I remember my mom making a drink similar to this for our parties.
