Cheers and welcome to Thirsty Thursday, the day after hump day and a necessary day to drink.

In celebration of being so close to the weekend, we are sharing a fun new cocktail you will surely enjoy. We understand if you choose to forgo the other ingredients and skip straight to a shot of liquor. We all have those crazy weeks, and however you like your drinks: whether that be stiff, dirty, shaken, stirred, sweet, or strong, we applaud you for making it this far.

Our latest edition of Maison Magazineinspires this one. If you can't escape TO Japan, you might be inspired by Japan! 

So without further ado, let's get to it!
