A root beer cocktail with a strange taste profile, perhaps there are too much flavor going on at once? I’m starting to think root beer cocktails are extremely tricky to pull off, even using a root beer schnapps. Root beer has a very unique flavor that is super tough to pair with excellence. I think this cocktail will be a turn on to some root beer fans, but I find it just a bit wonky on flavors that make me wonder what exactly I am tasting.
We’re also releasing… THE KRACKEN!!
The recipe: 2 oz. Dark Spiced Rum, Juice of 1/2 Lime, Fill with Root Beer.

I usually know more than them and if I don’t know it, then I just pull out my phone and look up the information I want to know. They’re more interested in getting you out the door than anything else.

In the past few years we’re now able to make special orders, but they have to be done through the state and you can only buy things in cases. You then have to wait a couple of months while your order is processed through the state, then sent out, then the order is sent to the state store where you have to pick it up.
