Get
your mixology on at home or try them at
Hard Rock!
Cheers
Y’all!
Just because the 4th is over, doesn’t
mean the festivities don’t stop. Well, noticing that I am not solely about brew
and I write my Bartender’s Page ever month for Jezebel Magazine, the legendary Hard Rock sent me some
awesome cocktail recipes we can mix and get our sip on at home!
Easy to make, based
mostly with Bacardi product, and mouthwatering at their mention, try out
your mixology skills and serve these concoctions in 16-ounce mason jars for the
added effect of southern nostalgia! Oh, and if you want to taste how the
professionals do it, hit up a Hard Rock and demand everything from the Black
Cherry Frozen Lemonade to the alcohol-free Summertime Blues. I am sure they
will be happy to oblige.
Here we go straight from the source:
