DOTW: The Red Schwinn

DOTW%3A+The+Red+Schwinn

Before the colder weather sets in, hop on the bike, and head down to Ride for one of its signature cocktails. The bike-theme restaurant has a long specialty menu, so ask for a recommendation, and you’ll be pointed to the Red Schwinn.

Experience: A Ride specialty, the Red Schwinn combines Bacardi rum, lemon juice, ginger beer, and house-made raspberry purée. It is shaken over ice and then poured. Pink in color and garnished around the rim with a lemon twist, the Red Schwinn will take you for a ride that is a little sweet and a just a touch sour at the same time.

Drink of the WeekAdvice: This drink was made to be had after a long hot day on the bike, in class, or at work, but it’s great for just warming up for a night out, too. Enjoy it. It will go down smooth and sweet; you’re going to want another one.
