You know, a wise woman once said “ If you wanna be my lover, you gotta get with my friends”…and honestly we couldn’t agree more.

Let’s be real, there’s two kinds of people in this world; those who read the book first and those who just wait until the movie comes out…and I’m sure we’ve all been both at some point. Buuuut no matter which one you identify as, there’s no denying how relaxing a good reading sesh can be- especially lake side, the sun shining, a ice cold beer in hand… Sorry we’re defs day dreaming right now as we sit in our offices.

Sooo, why not combine your current favorite with a childhood fave and make a delicious Amber Rootbeer Cocktail!
