happy hour: cheerio

Woohoo! It’s Friday again! This week’s happy hour is inspired by one I found in my favorite vintage cocktail book. I took a little liberty with it, switching out curaçao for cointreau. I’ll admit, I got them confused at first, but once I realized my mistake, I thought the little citrusy flavor of cointreau would work well. And it did.

Cheers! To the first real weekend of fall, my favorite season.
