The Crocodile Cooler is May 19th Drink of the Day!!

May 19, 2013 | By Shaun the Bartender | Add a Comment

We are a week away from the traditional pool season. Memorial Day Weekend is when many of the pools will open for the next few months. Nothing like a nice refreshing cocktail to kick everything off on the right note.

The Crocodile Cooler fits the bill. Its citrus and refreshing flavor brings summertime to a new level. So, as you and your friends get the pool ready, this would be a great reward for all your hard work. Cheers!

Crocodile Cooler

1 1/2 oz. Citrus Infused Vodka

3/4 oz. Melon Liqueur

3/4 oz. Triple Sec

Juice of One Lemon

Lemon/Lime Soda

Method: In a highball glass filled with ice, put in everything but the soda. Mix this up by pouring it into a mixing glass and back into the highball a few times. Once you have done this, and it’s back in the highball, top off with lemon-lime soda. Garnish with a lemon wedge / maraschino cherry / lime wedge flag.
