What do you love about your city?

I love the live music scene, restaurants, and bike trails. Minneapolis also has excellent art museums and exhibits, many free! The art installations throughout the city streets are so dope.

Cocktail Inspiration:

I really enjoy coffee, so Jägermeister Cold Brew was fun to experiment with mixing cocktails. I was inspired by after-dinner drinks, especially ones that are tasty in chilly weather. February in MN is cold. So, I wanted a drink that was appropriate for our freezing months. The Starfish Wish fits the bill. It has a bit of holiday flair to carry us through until Spring.

2. Let the mixture sit in the fridge for 24 hours.
