The Drink of the Day is the Harlem Cocktail
If you are a gin lover, here’s a nice summertime refresher to kick off the week with, as well as the month. I cannot believe we are already done with half the year. This is going fast!
As aromatic as it is tasty with the maraschino liqueur ingredient, this Drink of the Day, will win you over before you even get your lips on the rim of the glass. The pineapple juice brings it all together and gives it it’s smooth, easy-to-go-down, texture. This is another cocktail to make sure you do not forget what you put into it. The flavor tends to hide the gin enough to where you may feel you have yourself something that you can drink fast. Hold yourself back and be sure to enjoy every sip by taking your time and taste the many flavors this beverage has to offer.
We are in the holiday week, with fireworks going nightly and grills getting primed for the weekend. You may want to make yourself up one of these, preparing for the coming days. You may also want to enjoy one while watching the United States / Belgium World Cup soccer match this afternoon. Hell, who needs an excuse to make a drink? Just enjoy the day! Cheers!
