Happy 4th of July!
By July 3, 09:19 AM
Tomorrow's Independence Day and, just like you probably celebrated your independence by drinking your way through the first week of college or whenever you moved out of the house, we're celebrating our country's independence TGIF Cocktail-style. Campari liqueur, SKYY Vodka, and Cabo Wabo tequila sent us over a few 4th of July recipes for us to try - and of course they're red, white, and blue.
