Introducing The Hottest New Adult Beverage: Sweet Joe [Kicking Back with Jersey Joe]...

It’s one of those things that I can now check off my bucket list – I got a drink named after me! Get ready to take a sip of the adult beverage that will have your feeling like you’re on a cruise ship or a Caribbean Island! You can say you gave it a try – before it swept the country!

In the mood for something different; bartender Sibel Aydemir had an idea. After pouring a few bottles of this and shaking a mixing glass of that, she produced a very awesome looking orange-yellow mixed drink. Before I could even blink, a second one appeared in front of me. “Try this,” she says. After taking a taste, “Wow!” is all I could think to say. If I had closed my eyes, I could have been sitting on the deck of a Carnival cruise ship, somewhere in the middle of a calm ocean, enjoying a refreshing dessert. That’s right – this drink tastes like a dessert! Who doesn’t love desserts? The first taste sensation was that of eating a piece vanilla cake, with a hint of orange/pineapple icing. It’s truly a different taste and extremely refreshing. The Sweet Joe is made of: 1/3 Vanilla Cake Vodka (Three Olives is the brand she used, but others may be substituted) 1/3 orange juice 1/3 pineapple juice Pour into a mixer and shake.  Garnish with fruit such as an orange slice or cherry. While I prefer mine served in a pint glass on the rocks, others who are not a fan of giant sweet drinks suggest serving as a shot. With little recorded history on...
