🤠 GIDDY UP

It’s starting to feel like ‘Rodeo Time’ in the Tri-States!!!! So let’s tip our hats & launch a themed drink menu to have more dun, shall we!? 😉🍹🏜️

🔥Blazin’ Saddle
This ain’t your first rodeo… a spicy margarita that goes down smoother than a rodeo clown’s jokes. Grab the reins, salt the rim, and ride into the sunset … just don’t blame us if you start yelling YEEHAW!

🐂Tipsy Cowboy
It pairs best with sunburns, tight Wrangler jeans, and pretending you understand bull riding; because after a few of these smooth, tasty drinks you’ll be just reckless enough to make you think could ride one!

🫏 The Wild West Mule
It kicks like a mule and has zero respect for your personal safety. Sip with caution; because you’ll swallow with a smile & order another before you’re done! This is your ticket to the wild west - no horse required!

We’ll see you rodeo babes soon! CHEERS 🎉🍹
