Drink of the Day: Surf Rider

Friday is here! We have survived the five day work week. Now it is time to sit back and look forward to the next two days off, all the while enjoying the moment and appreciating the week just accomplished. Here’s a perfect cocktail to do just that.

A visually appetizing mixed drink that is just as gratifying when taking the first sip, you will have no problem carrying one of these around at your next party. The smooth flavor this combination offers will fit well with knowing that tomorrow is a sleep-in day and all of the week’s hustle and bustle is now behind you. That will make each sip that much more gratifying.

Enjoy your weekend! Cheers!
