Drink Recipes for Episode #02: The Honey Deuce and The Spicy Fem-lete

Ahhhh, Halloween's officially over. Hopefully everyone enjoyed their cocktails, candy, and company throughout the day/night.

It's Friday (yay!), and I've got a few drink recipes for you to kick off the weekend. (And also to kick off the release of another episode of The Vodka Press podcast.)

During EP #02, I recommended The Honey Deuce and one of our own concoctions, The Spicy Fem-lete.

Even if you're "boozed out" after the Halloween festivities of last night, these cocktails are still worth trying because they're both light and refreshing.
