KANSAS CITY, Mo — The 4th of July is just a few days away, meaning now is the time to start planning the perfect libations for your celebration. Cheryl Bisbee, Owner of Boozy Botanicals, joins us with some delicious, refreshing options that are perfect for summer.

Rosemary Mint Mojito Cocktail:
1.5 oz white rum

Half fresh lime, cut into wedges

1 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice
2 to 3 cups water
