It’s Been a Long Week: Blueberry Ginger Mule
As true believers of the work hard, play hard mantra, we present you with It’s Been a Long Week, a weekly column aimed at awarding some liquid appreciation to you for just being yourself, dammit. Make yourself a glass or two, on us— you deserve it.
It’s officially the month of long weekends, sweltering weekdays, music festivals, and vodka boozin’! And we don’t mind a single bit. With a little extra time on our hands, for our happy hours we’re going to try extra hard to recreate the ultimate berry-mule, courtesy of Deep Eddy Vodka. Deep Eddy Vodka can be found in bars across festival grounds and in VIP at their signature Dive In Trailer — a retro-stylish, refurbished 1940s Spartan Trailer featuring A/C, a full bar and lounge and custom sound system. Pst, we’ve also heard that Deep Eddy Vodka is hosting a VIP Experience at Panorama Music Festival at the end of July!
