Spring has sprung, and we couldn't be more excited. There's something undeniably rejuvenating about the vernal equinox and all the bright flavors that follow. Digging into big, refreshing salads is something we long for after a cold winter, and we can't wait to give some quick one-pot spring dinners a whirl so we can spend more evenings outside. Though we love celebrating anything (and everything) with food, it isn't the only way. We're looking at you, cocktails! Mardi Gras shouldn't hog all the boozy fun, and these 12 invigorating floral bevs give spring the nod it deserves.
