Who else needs one (or three) cocktails after the election this week? We certainly do.
Whether you’re enthused or angry, we know cocktails will be a necessity. Luckily, The Alchemist of San Francisco shook up the baddest of cocktails. Appropriately named the “B.A. Baracus” (also known as “Bad Attitude”), this cocktail will spice things up as it combines ginger-habanero spirit, hard apple cider, and a strong kick of scotch.
So treat yourself and relax this weekend. Cheers!
