Rampant Sipping Episode 3: The Six Step Sparkler

 

This week Rampant Sipping concocts a liquid eulogy to the malternative-alchopop beverage, Sparks, which just this week lost its signature ingredients due to lobbying by public interest groups and thirteen State’s Attorney Generals. In honor of the passing of Sparks’ caffeine, taurine, guarana and ginseng Dr. McLoudy demonstrates how to make a “Sparkler,” a refreshing sparktini with a nerdy finish. Sparks won’t be completely removed from shelves until January 10th so go hoard it like a polaroid picture and get sipping!
