Drink of the Day: Big Crush

Here’s a cocktail that will get you going! I will have to say that one of these should satisfy all your cravings for liquor. There is an abundance of it in this. Just be sure to be responsible drinker while imbibing on one of these. The amazing part is that you will not taste it too much in this combination. And the flavors that exude from this beverage will satisfy the palate, no doubt. Just keep in mind what you are getting into and slowly enjoy its characteristics. It is named the BIG CRUSH for a reason.

A nice mix of raspberry and lime, to go along with Cointreau, works well in this vodka beverage. Then, to enhance the end flavor, a couple ounces of sparkling wine is added to give this drink it’s nice finish. You will enjoy every sip. Just don’t do so too much.

Have a great day, everybody!
