This concoction results in a refreshing and sophisticated drink that offers a play of flavors reminiscent of a sweet weekend treat, hence its playful name.
Typically served in a cocktail glass, the Saturday Candy is an ideal choice for those who enjoy a citrusy kick in their beverage, often garnished with a cherry to add a touch of fruity sweetness and visual appeal.
