Caution Under Construction Cooler

So you’re going to do it yourself. That’s great, but save the libation until after the project is finished and you are no longer operating heavy machinery—no good DIY project should ever end with a trip to the emergency room. Don’t forget to mix the kid-friendly version for your little apprentices.

Cocktail

• 1.5 oz apple sour liqueur
• 4 oz white grape juice
• 2 oz sparkling water
• 12 frozen seedless green grapes

Add your frozen grapes to cocktail glass as ice cubes. Shake apple sour and grape juice with ice and strain into cocktail glass and top with sparkling water. Garnish with a wedge of fresh green apple.

Mocktail

• 3 oz white grape juice
• 2 oz apple juice
• 12 frozen seedless grapes
• 1 small grape freezie (frozen)
• 1 ice cube

Add all ingredients to blender and blend for 3 minutes on high, or until drink is thick but can be poured into a large glass. Garnish with the freezie.
