The Southern Raspberry Tart is January 16th Drink of the Day!!
When I first had the opportunity to try this cocktail, it took me back when I used to go to the candy shop and buy Sweet Tart Candy. A great citrus/raspberry combination that will become a party favorite, not only because of it’s great flavor, but also because of its beautiful hue and fancy glass. I’m sure you will agree.
Equal parts of the three liquors, plus the enhancement from the citrus and lemon-lime soda, gives this beverage its well-rounded character. A perfect getaway from the winter doldrums, this will put you in a warm state of mind and have you thinking tropical surroundings while enjoying every flavor this drink has to offer - perfect choice as our Drink of the Day. It may be time to put some logs on the fire and get ready to call it a night free of daily chores or other activities that would hinder you from enjoying every single drop. Cheers!
