The Careless Whisper Cocktail {Inspired by George Michael}

If you follow me on Instagram you well know my obsession with George Michael. I ADORE him.

I recently threw myself the most fabulous George Michael Birthday party a few years ago and had everyone invited come dressed as one of his videos.

BEST BIRTHDAY EVER!

People often ask me why I love him so, and I always respond, his music helped me through a weird/awkward/ uneasy eight grade.

Today I want to share the cocktail I served for my George Michael themed birthday party, it’s called The Careless Whisper. It’s vibrant, smooth and sweet – Just like mi adorable George.
