Holla Atcha Jalapeño
The cocktail I CHOOSE TO ENJOY while basking in the sun is of the utmost importance. The temperature’s high, and I want something that quenches my thirst and embodies summer. With fresh lime, juicy watermelon, and a heavy pour of Hendricks, this drink IS summer. I’m the new resident bartender at the Haus of Hipstamatic, and my cocktail is the Holla Atcha Jalapeño! —pt
