Drink of the Day: Tootsie Roll

Happy Saturday to you! Hope your weekend is getting started on the right foot. Just to help it along for you, here’s a cocktail that is probably one of the easiest to make and is light on the liquor content. You will understand where it gets it’s namesake once you try it.

This is about as simple as it comes. A great compliment after a hearty meal, this will be sure to give you your chocolate fix.

After the difficulty level of yesterday’s cocktail, I wanted to give you something basic. You really don’t need to go all out to get a great finished cocktail. This is a true example of that. Enjoy and cheers!
