Remember when you were a kid, and all you wanted was a Capri Sun? You’d see the commercials of those teenagers drinking a pouch of that delicious juice, turn into silver liquid-people and then do something athletic, like surfing.
Well, now that you’re older, you can buy Capri Sun whenever you want. Despite this, as you get older tastes change and sometimes cravings turn a bit more alcohol-y. The Main Street Pub & Eatery in Monmouth can give you exactly what you’re looking for with their original drink, aptly named the Capri Sun.
The cocktail includes cherry vodka, amaretto, cranberry juice, a splash of Sprite and lime. Believe it or not, it tastes exactly like a fruit punch Capri Sun. It’s sweet, but not sugary, easy to drink and hides the flavor of the alcohol well. That last part can be a blessing and a curse, so be sure to know how much you are consuming. Just six dollars, and you’ll be on your way to becoming a liquid silver-surfer.
This cocktail receives five stars from me, an ametuer drinker and college student, because of its sweet and easy to drink qualities.
The Main Street Pub & Eatery is located at 169 Main St. West in Monmouth. They’re open Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m., Friday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. If you’re of age, be sure to pop in and give the Capri Sun cocktail a try.
