Hard Rock sends us Summer Mason Jar Cocktail recipes!

This is the Tropical Rock. Look's good, right?
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.
