Comfort Cocktails - Drink Inc.

This is definitely one of my fav cocktail shows. I'm always inspired by the fact they come up with their recipes through just experiencing a meal. Creative and coolness definitely goes to them for banging out some excellent recipes. The vibe you get is a summer time afternoon and a great fall morning with these two drinks. Check out the recipes below the video:
