Cocktail Pairings for FT with Friends Movie Night | Taffer's Mixologist Libations
Day….. something? of quarantine (who knows anymore?) and if you’re like me, I am desperately looking for different ways to entertain myself after work hours and am trying to have things to look forward to! Don’t get me wrong, I love a wine and tv show night, but that can get old pretty fast considering we have no idea when life is going to get back to normal again. Let’s face it, I miss my cocktails (!!!) and I can’t be the only one. For those looking for the perfect cocktails to add to their next Netflix Party or FaceTime with Friends Movie Night, Taffer’s Mixologist wants to make it easy for everyone stuck at home by pairing some of their favorite recipes with fan-favorite tv shows and movies! Taffer’s is hands down my go-to cocktail mix and it NEVER disappoints. It’s fresh, makes all the flavors in a cocktail pop and it makes creating a drink so simple.
Created by Bar Rescue host Jon Taffer to bring the craft cocktail experience to the home, Taffer’s Mixologist cocktail mixes come in seven different flavors: Bloody Mary, Cosmopolitan, Margarita, Mojito, Piña Colada, Skinny Margarita and Strawberry Margarita. The line is available at Walmart stores nationwide and cost under $5.00 a bottle, making it the perfect thing to grab the next time you go to restock your pantry.
