To many, trips to our local bar means ordering the usual lukewarm lager, overrated Cosmos, or too dry martinis that lack in personality, as well as flavor. To some, the idea of being adventurous with one’s signature cocktail means attempting to swallow down a worm at the end of a tequila bottle, demanding more olives than usual, or gulping down both a Presidente and a Corona. With thousands of cocktails readily available everywhere, from 5-star lounges to watering holes in the wall, why settle for less and empty our wallets for little substance?
That’s why for this week, we’re praising Double Dare, a drink bursting with hints of fruity sweetness, sudden spiciness, and a cool, refreshing ending that keeps lips smacking. It’s like giving your tongue an orgasm with a slow beginning, a fiery middle, and a relaxing end that’s certain to put a smile on any face. Now that we gave you the truth behind Double Dare, are you brave enough to take a chance and shake things up tonight?
