Drink of the Day: The Last Word

October 8, 2014 | By | Add a Comment

The middle of the week is here. This has been a long and enduring week for me, so I wanted something that would be a memorable and worthy drink today. I think I found one.

There is a reason for this being called what it is. There is no doubt that there is nothing more to think about after enjoying one of these. Plus, it gives you the aromatic character to give your senses euphoric pleasure. A perfect nightcap after a grueling day.

The autumn season is in full swing in my part of the country. Nothing like starting a fire and kicking back during a cool fall evening. Here is the perfect complement to help take you to that place of relaxation and comfort. I hope you find this the perfect ending to your day. Cheers!

3/4 oz. Maraschino Liqueur
