The Bugs Bunny Cocktail is July 27th Drink of the Day!
Being a kid of the 70s, there was nothing like watching Looney Tune’s great cast of cartoon characters. Nothing like passing the time enjoying the 5 - 7 minute long cartoon shorts and experiencing the antics of Sylvester the Cat, Tweety Bird, Daffy Duck, and Elmer Fudd, just to name a few. They were always into something that would peak your interest, like Wile E. Coyote always looking for inventive ways of catching the Road Runner, or Foghorn Leghorn trying to steer the young chicken hawk not to mess with his chickens, there were things to always make you break out in laughter. The biggest of these cartoon stars is no other than Bugs Bunny.
On this date in 1940, Bugs Bunny debut in the cartoon entitled, “A Wild Hare”. To celebrate the birth of one of the greats, I found a drink that Bugs himself would have a hard time putting down. I have kind of changed the recipe a tad due to experiencing Cucumber Vodka. This is a perfect drink to enjoy this infused vodka with. Why not get some nourishment while enjoying a cocktail. This drink will do trick! Cheers!

Celery Stick for Garnish.
