How about a little comfort cocktail to get you to bed early tonight, so you can prime yourself for the easy Friday, which will bring us into the weekend? Let’s make this Drink of the Day one that will put you in the right state of mind for a good slumber. A perfect way to end the short work week with a sound mind and body to get you ready to have yourself a nice and relaxing weekend.

A nice little play on words, this cocktail is named for Haley’s Comet. Made to be a sipping dessert beverage, this cream cocktail has a slight hint of chocolate and finished with some soda to give it some fizz. You may want to get your jammies on.
