Drink of the Day: Typhoon

Here’s an interesting one for all you gin lovers out there, combining the ingredients of Sambuca and Champagne with the base spirit. A drink filled with flavor and fizz, this one will keep all of your senses at attention while enjoying its wide spectrum of flavor. I do need to warn you, this one will sneak up on you in a hurry, so be careful while imbibing. This is where responsibility plays a major role. Consider this one a two-in-one cocktail; one that you won’t need too many of. But, with the characteristics of it, one will probably suffice anyway.

We are only a few weeks away from school season, so the weekend summer party season is getting close to coming to a conclusion this year. Here’s another Drink of the Day that you can add to your list of “must tries” before Labor Day. Enjoy your weekend.
