6 Fun, CîROC-Approved, Summer-Friendly Recipes
Summers are for barbecues, outdoor get-togethers and hanging out by the pool. As relaxing as those sorts of hang-outs can be, keeping cool and refreshed is one of the most important things you can do. In the spirit of staying healthy and relaxed, on behalf of The Hype Magazine, I compiled 6 summer-friendly recipes from CîROC. And hopefully the popularity of the limited-edition CîROC Summer Watermelon spirit leads to the vodka becoming a year-round, internationally-available offering.
