Cocktail Fanatic

Life needs more little luxuries. I'm Susannah, and I aim to treat myself — and those around me — as often as possible. A homemade cocktail can be just as delicious (if not more so) than the most expensive craft concoction at the fanciest bar in town. And it's even better if you enjoy it with friends. Cheers to that!
