Maybe you want to save the world. Maybe you just want to save the weekend. Try this cocktail that is strong enough to meet any challenge and smooth enough to preserve your super powers.
With the release of Marvel’s Avengers: Infinity War (Part 1), we are going to need a good, stiff drink to brace ourselves for the conclusion of The Avengers Series.
And with today being Earth Day, and our planet in peril in so many other ways than Thanos and his ilk, our cocktail is going to have to go down smooth for us to not miss a step in our efforts to save the day.
Marvel Studios did not ask me to create an Avenger cocktail, but I’m sure they would have if they were not so preoccupied. So I took the initiative to create on that I’m sure they would love.
