Drink of the Day: The Stimulator

November 17, 2014 | By Shaun the Bartender | Add a Comment

Good Happy Morning to all of you! I was quite shocked to wake up this morning to six inches of fresh snow. All I want to do today is sit around and just look out the window to watch the snow fall. But, alas, I have to get going and drive in this stuff this morning. So, before getting ready for the day, I found the perfect name of a drink that fits with helping with those Monday blahs.

Now, unlike the name for this, you will have a hard time getting stimulated after downing one of these. Sure, it’s a great cocktail that can be enjoyed with every sip. However, you will want to do nothing but get ready for an evening at home with the slippers on after imbibing one of these. This cocktail contains five liqueurs, all of which are common in most bars. For your home bar, however, you may need to do some shopping to get the ingredients for this Drink of the Day.

Just a little advice…..if you are going out today, be sure to not have one of these prior to doing so. Because, you will have a hard time getting motivated. I would make this one of your last indulgences of your Monday. Enjoy your week!
