Some drinks prove there is never just one clear recipe for success when it comes to mixing cocktails and pleasing a person’s palate. Jack Sudimack suggested the Antifreeze drink would be perfect for St. Patrick’s Day with its green melon liqueur coloring. Green melon liqueur didn’t ring a bell with me regarding the Antifreeze drink, so I took a look around at variations. This is where finding out what other people are suggesting and drinking is a terrific idea. Everyone learns something new; even me! Thanks Jack!
The Antifreeze recipe works as a shot, on the rocks drink or tall drink depending upon your preference. It’s also good for anytime sipping even if it is green. Please join in the cocktail conversation by sharing your recipe tips and tweaks. More information can be found in the post; “What Are You Drinking?”
