What's your favorite thing about summer? For me, it's definitely cool summer drinks and ice cream.__ I mean, honestly, what exactly is better than one of your favorite Latin-flavored ice creams or an amazing Latin cool-down drink? Absolutely nothing!
Well, nothing that is, unless you combine the two!
