49er Cocktails

It's Happy Hour. In this episode our mixologists are honoring the 49ers and their Super Bowl appearance. Matthew is presenting the Purdy in Red because he loves Brock Purdy. It's a sweet and tart Gin cocktail perfect for pre-gaming. Meanwhile Ben is presenting Wishnowski's Boot Punch because obviously. It's an easy drinking rum punch that will keep the party rolling long after the last puppy poops. They also discuss their favorite parts of the Super Bowl and give advice on how to stay chill. Recipes below.
