Picture this: you’ve just finished moving your family and all of their stuff into your new place. Summer time moves means that you’ve gotten pretty hot and sweaty. Carrying boxes, furniture, and a toddler who doesn’t want to leave the car and see the new house – ever! – is quite a workout. But after some long, tough hours, you’re moved in. Now, what do you want more than anything else in the world?
That’s right, a drink. With kids to watch over and work in the morning, the first night in a new place might not be the right time for a cold beer – but it’s the perfect opportunity to enjoy one of these great After-the-Move Mocktails!
