ALEXA – WHAT DOES MUDDLE MEAN?

Yeah, I know I know. I should know what muddle means. But let’s not forget, I gave up alcohol over 14+ years ago. Drinking for the taste wasn’t necessary back when I was drinking. I drank for the effect. I drank until I blacked out, ran out, or passed out. Classy did not exactly describe my drinking style.

Did you know the verb meaning of muddle is: to bring into a disordered or confusing state. If that is the case, then I was a professional muddler back in my day. Dazed and confused was usually my natural state.

TASTING NOTES:

My “normie” friend Erin and I spent a random Saturday in September taste testing all of the DRY Botanical Bubbly recipes. Bubbles are for everyone! They are in my world anyway. This drink was easily one of our favorites. Plus, it gave me the chance to use my thrift-shopped copper Owl mug.

Erin (BESTIE): Now that’s a Mule! And, that’s a drink I really like – especially if I can drink without the buzz.

Alysse (ME, I go by AB): MINTY! So fresh and so clean. Ginger is one of my favorite flavors. This one is easily my go-to on Netflix + Chill nights. Hulu + Chill nights. Amazon Prime + Chill nights. Disney+ and Chill nights.

66% of Millennials say they are reducing alcohol consumption*.
64% of Gen Z say they expect to drink less than older generations**.
8.6% Compound Annual Growth Rate expected for non-alcoholic mixed drinks for 2018 – 2023***.

Why do you think millennials are drinking less than their previous generations? Because drunk never looks good!
