The Azteca is December 6th Drink of the Day!!

December 6, 2013 | By Shaun the Bartender | Add a Comment

Today, I am introducing a cocktail that makes for a great sipper while hanging out with friends. It also makes a great liquid desert after a long day at the office. Either way, you will find yourself a perfect cocktail that combines the island flavor of one of my favorite liquors, rum, and combines it with hints of chocolate and coffee flavors that will have you craving it in mid-afternoon on Friday, waiting for the clock to hit 5pm. Add the blue curacao for more sweetness and color and you may have found something close to heaven.

The color alone will be a good conversation starter at a party. The combination gives you a seamless blend of colors that will surely make this one of your favorite go-to’s. With it’s name, you better believe the flavor of this had to meet or exceed expectations. This surely meets all requirements to get the title of Drink of the Day.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do. Cheers!
