The New Orleans Buck is April 30th Drink of the Day!!

If you live in Louisiana, you probably know too well that it gets sticky and sweaty in the dog days of summer in your part of the country. With spring in full swing, let’s start talking about what’s in store.

To keep you refreshed in the hottest of days, here is a rum based beverage that you will have no problem getting down while lounging around poolside. This Drink of the Day can come in handy while working on the tan. But, then again, it doesn’t go down too badly while pounding the powder during the winter, as well. Either way, enjoy!

 

New Orleans Buck

1 1/2 oz. White Rum

1 oz. Orange Juice

Juice from 1/2 of a Lemon
