Space Wine Set For Splashdown
This week, the ISS crew packed the case into a SpaceX Cargo Dragon capsule and sealed the hatch. On Wednesday (1.13) evening, the capsule (and wine!) are scheduled to splash down in the Gulf of Mexico.
Blackberry, Plum, & Basil Smash
- Base Spirit Rum
- Preparation Muddled & Stirred
- Flavor Fruity
- Served On the Rocks
Relax, kick back, and raise a (mason jar) glass to summer with this delicious rum smash using fresh blackberries, plums and basil. The formula is essentially a rum rickey riff, but the flavor profile is all about the fruit with the rum serving to tie it all together.
