Drink of the Day: Purple Margarita
I can’t believe how fast the weeks go in the summertime! It seems like the winter months in the Midwest take forever to get through. The summertime, however, a completely different story. We are only a week away from Labor Day weekend - the traditional mark for the last weekend of the summer. Kids are going back to school, people are preparing their pools for the cold season, and the grills are getting winterized. It goes too quick! But, we still have a couple more weekends and I’m not ready to get my winter gear out just yet. Especially after enduring this past winter season.
Here’s a Drink of the Day that should keep you in the spirit of the current season. A nice refresher to lax your way through the weekend with. In fact, I am making this the unofficial Drink of the Weekend. I am taking tomorrow off for the Drink of the Day due to probably enjoying too many of these when I get off my bar shift tonight. So….HERE’S TO THE WEEKEND!!!! CHEERS!
