The Story Behind The Sec Back Your Clock-Tail
Chronically tired people everywhere, rejoice! It’s the best weekend of the year. This Sunday at 2 a.m, we “fall back” in time and gain one glorious hour of sleep -- or, if you’re like us, one more precious hour of cocktail slugging on Saturday night. We love a good themed cocktail; with Halloween just passed and Thanksgiving on the horizon, we can’t stop thinking about festive, seasonally appropriate beverages. In honor of daylight saving time this weekend, we’re celebrating our extra hour of “thyme” with this herb-infused, Sec Back your Clock-tail, perfect for all of your daylight-saving festivities. What better way to celebrate sec-ing back your clock and gaining thyme than with a delicious, herb-infused clock-tail? Yup, we just went there.
