Drink of the Day: Sonic Blaster

Here’s a cocktail for those of you who do not want to taste the liquor in their cocktail; a very fruity and refreshing cocktail for a warm summer’s day. A great combination of banana liqueur with other fruit juices to give you a true tiki beverage you can enjoy while outdoors, this rum cocktail will give you that punch flavor without the bite of the spirit.

So, it may be time to grill some burgers on the grill and sip on this tropical treat while doing so. What other excuse do you need? Cheers!
