Winter is over. The snowbanks have begun to melt, the frost has begun to thaw and, little by little, flowers have begun to blossom. With the chill air giving way to warmth and the sun showing its face more and more, spring has arrived. With that, we have to celebrate, right? There are plenty of light and delicious drinks to sit outside with in the warm sun and Torani’s here to help! Light and cool drinks are the best palate cleanser after a cold winter and before the warmer summer.

Let’s take a look to see what we have:
