We only have a few more days of Olympics to watch you guys! Anyone else caught that Olympic fever? I know a few people who can’t stop watching all day. I mean I get it, we won’t see the summer Olympics for another four years so we better watch it while we can right?
So I really wanted to do something for Thirsty Thursday that was Olympic themed. I considered some Brazilian cocktails or some drinks that would represent each color in the Olympic rings, but then I realized the color that matters; gold.
Since all the Olympians are going for gold, we should support them with some gold cocktails. You don’t have to be a big baller with gold leaf on your drinks, but you can get in the spirit with some gold colored drinks! Now I promise it won’t be all Goldschlager drinks. Enjoy your gold drink and help cheer on team USA!
