Cocktail Inspiration:

Remembering my great old college days with my friends in Chico, California. Where we find ourselves lost in fun times with cheap tacos and drinks which we can barely afford from the local tasty taco trucks , every evening after our classes. We would sit and enjoy for hours talking and joke about random things among best friends, before life took us to different paths for each of us. One of the best memories I would cherish for the rest of my life. I present “Endless Summers” a cocktail which represents our favorite taco Al pastor and a little bit of heat because it’s always sunny in Chico and most importantly to showcase the finely hand crafted Deep eddy vodka made with quality.
