The Thomas Jefferson Collins is April 13th Drink of the Day!!
On this day, in 1743, Thomas Jefferson was born. He is considered by many as a crucial part of us becomming a country. He was the primary writer of the Declaration of Independance, the thrid President of the United States, and many other things too lengthy to mention. He is one of the United State’s Founding Fathers.
To celebrate his birthday, I found a drink that was created by the Snake Oil Cocktail Company, for the San Diego and La Jolla Democratic Club’s Christmas Party in December 2010.
