Are you ready to get inspired…and tipsy?
29 Mixed Drinks That Will Inspire You
(just in time to plan your Labor Day menu)
Let’s just say that after a couple of mixed drinks I begin to feel a bit…inspired.
I start making crazy plans, dreaming up grand dreams, and saying things I wouldn’t normally say when I’m not “under the influence.”
Total, utter BLARNEY.
You know what I’m talking about.
Heck, after a couple of drinks, I start to think that spelunking is a great idea and maybe a career I missed out on. Can you make a career out of spelunking?
But I work hard! And so do you, so I’m celebrating YOUR hard work with some inspiring cocktails to enjoy on Labor Day.
These mixed drinks will remind you to kick your feet up, live life to the fullest, love those around you and treat yourself right.
