The Granny Smith is June 6th Drink of the Day!!

June 6, 2014 | By Shaun the Bartender | Add a Comment

Nothing like a juicy and fresh Granny Smith apple to enjoy anytime of the day. Apples are great in that you can put them in your pocket to enjoy, at your convenience, without having to worry too much about crushing it. It has its own protective skin to give you time to do what you have to before treating yourself to one of nature’s healthiest of foods. As Benjamin Franklin once said, “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”.

The Drink of the Day will give you the flavor of one of these treats. Though you can’t put it in your pocket for hours like the original snack, it’s something to enjoy once you’re ready to put your feet up after a long day at the office. It may not keep the doctor away, but it will make you forget about your daytime ailments for awhile. Here’s to your health! Cheers!
