Good Morning Darlings!

Whether you have the “dictator”, the “micro-manager”, the “miracle” or the “friend” type of boss, you have definitely earned a day and a very large cocktail to reflect and celebrate National Boss Day on October 17th.

What better way to end a case of the Monday’s then with these exciting cocktails that you can totally relate to?

Feel like you’re ever in the movie, The Devil Wears Prada ? Kick back a few of these and the backhanded comments of the day seem to be forgotten.

1 oz Lucid Absinthe
1 oz Raspberry Liqueur
1 oz Lemonade or sour mix
2 oz Ginger Ale
Fill a glass with ice and add Raspberry Liqueur, Lucid Absinthe and Lemonade. Cover with cocktail shaker and shake vigorously. Top glass with ginger ale and blueberries.

Ever had the feeling that your boss is always looking over your shoulder? This will help you forget that micro-manager.

The Sweet Standard
