Drink of the Day: Electric Jam
Nothing like a colorful cocktail to start the conversation up by the pool. An aqua blue drink that will have people talking and ordering for themselves as they quench themselves between dips.
A great vodka beverage that you can find yourself enjoying while basking in the sun and working on the tan. A refresher that does a good job masking the liquor and giving you a sweet concoction that will satisfy the senses, both visually and aromatically, all the while keeping your taste buds dancing with each sip.
This is a sweet cocktail, but you can tone it down by adding soda water instead of lemon-lime soda and cutting back on the amount of simple syrup. The lemon and blue curacao will give you the sweetness needed on its own, so don’t worry about not getting enough. That’s one great thing about making your own cocktail - you are the maestro, making sure that the drink is playing the right tune for you.
Have a great and productive Tuesday! After you do you due diligence, dip into a couple of these as your reward. Cheers!
