The Colorado Mother is March 7th Drink of the Day!!

March 7, 2014 | By Shaun Daugherty | Add a Comment

This is one of those cocktails that you will only need one of to get you where you want to be. This has pretty much everything but the kitchen sink in it. However, you will be quite amazed on how incredibly smooth and refreshing this creamy beverage is. When I tasted it the first time, I was startled on the lack of liquor I tasted. In fact, I would consider this a dangerous drink due to the amount of liquor in it. So, be sure to keep the consumption of this at a moderate level.

A combination of five popular liquors that you will find in most wells in equal parts, then adding cream and cola for the wash, you will have a nice and malty beverage that will be sure to warm your insides and get you comfortable in a hurry. It will also get you past comfort and praying to the porcelain gods in a hurry if you drink it down too quickly. So, my suggestion to you is to enjoy every flavor by going a sip at a time. You will be happy you did at the end of the night.
