Its Thursday, which means time for football AND we’re only one day from the weekend.  So with that in mind, why not try this Grapefruit & Celery spritzer at your tailgate or pre-game this weekend?  If you have an early kick off, trade in the tried and true Bloody Mary (just this once) and give this refreshing bevy a shot!
