Thirsty Thursday: In a Jam

This week’s Thirsty Thursday is full of tough choices and the honest truth. On Braxton Family Values, the family is taking a trip to Napa to celebrate Tamar’s birthday, but this getaway isn’t going as planned. With new boyfriends starting brawls and a sister hiding a pregnancy rumor, WE aren’t sure how long this vacation will last! Over on Hustle & Soul, Ana is ready to team up with Thandi to finally set her secret plan in motion. But first, she has to deal with Aneka’s freaky behavior.  Meanwhile, Dom has to make a decision about Germany. Will Stef be left heartbroken? Since most of our cast members this week are “In a Jam”, WE decided to create some jam cocktails of our own. Try out these 3 drink choices that add a fruity spin to your favorite liquors!
