Hi Elaine,
I hope you’re having a great week so far!
Reaching out to see if you're working on any cocktail roundups to toast to
the final days of summer or Labor Day weekend?
As summer winds down, I wanted to share a festive cocktail recipe from
feels made for the “dog days” of summer. The Nine to Thrive puts a playful
Labor Day spin on the classic frozen daiquiri, featuring vibrant red, white
and blue layers of strawberry, piña colada and blue raspberry flavors. It’s
a fun, colorful option for Labor Day gatherings and a refreshing way to
squeeze in one last taste of summer before the season comes to a close.
Please let me know if this could be a fit for any Labor Day or end-of-summer
cocktail roundups you may be working on. I’d be happy to share the full
recipe, answer any questions or provide a quote for inclusion!
Looking forward to hearing back :)
