Back to School Cocktail – The Teacher’s Pet

Let the countdown begin – it’s time to go back to school! It’s time for fresh sneakers, first day jitters, school buses and classrooms filled with new friends. It’s time for parents to take a breather and for teachers to dive in. In honour of this happy season (sorry kiddos!) we’ve created a cocktail with Spiced Rum and Apple Cider – a nod to the fall flavours that start arriving this time of year. (Pumpkin Spice anyone?) Top it off with some Ginger Ale and our Teacher’s Pet – the Back to School Cocktail – is the perfect drink to cheers with this September.
