It's a Taylor Swift world, and we are just singing along with it. And with a Taylor Swift cocktail, we can sip along, too. From those angsty emotions as a teenager to the hope, despair, and love we feel from our twenties into adulthood, there is Taylor Swift song and lyric there for every high, low, love, loss, and win. The only thing missing from that playlist is a Taylor Swift-themed cocktail to pair with it.
