The Zuckerberg Zinger is May 14th Drink of the Day!!

To find another topic to come up with when coming up with the drink of the day would have not sat well with me today. If it wasn’t for the work and commitment that Mark Zuckenberg has put into Facebook, we would not have the social networking that we have in place today. That’s including all the other vehicles we now have in place. Who ever thought twenty years ago that we would be able to network the way we do today via the internet. I sure the hell didn’t! If it wasn’t for this tool, people like me wouldn’t be able to put these types of stories out there and have the opportunity to have thousands, if not millions, of people seeing it.

Today, Mr. Zuckerburg celebrates his birthday. I would go into the whole Facebook thing, but I think we all know the story. What most of us don’t know about is the drink I’m introducing to you today. I found this on That’s the Sprit!’s Website, (thatsthespirit.com), and looks to be a very interesting concoction. In fact, I will probably be making some of these at my next BBQ. Happy Birthday, Mark!
