Drink of the Week! Fishers Island Lemonade

It’s Thirsty Thursday, so you know we got a new drink for you fools to try out this weekend.

Fishers Island Lemonade.

Fisher’s Island, New York is a nine mile long island with a year round population of 230 people.

There is only ONE bar, called the The Pequot Inn, which has been in business for over 100 years and serves the best drink I have had all summer.

With 9% alcohol in a small can, it gives you a bang for your buck. This lemonade is a much heftier take on a vodka lemonade with the addition of honey sweeteners and corn whiskey. You can find Fisher’s Island Lemonade in New York, Connecticut and Rhode Island with distribution expanding worldwide this summer!

How to make it your own/spice it up/add a unique twist: 

– Pour in a chilled mason jar over ice, if you’re feeling festive…

– Sprinkle in some rosemary or add a fresh rosemary sprig, if you want to make the hipsters jealous…

– Add a slice of lemon to garnish, because after all, it is summer…

– Enjoy with seafood, steak or a salad on a warm summer day! But beware… they will creep up on you!
