GROUNDHOG DAY GETS ITS OWN COCKTAIL

GROUNDHOG DAY GETS ITS OWN COCKTAIL

SAN FRANCISCO (Wireless Flash) -- Groundhog Day could soon join St. Patrick's Day and Cinco De Mayo as a popular drinking holiday. Two San Francisco restaurant employees have just created a special drink for Groundhog Day called the "Kiwi Climax." The mixture contains rum, lime juice, sugar and kiwi fruit - - but what's the connection between kiwis and groundhogs? The inventors say they came up with the Groundhog Day drink after hearing about a child who thought fuzzy kiwi fruit looked like baby groundhogs. The "Kiwi Climax" will make its official debut tonight at Elroy's Restaurant in San Francisco and, in honor of the drink, the California Kiwi Commission has declared today "California Kiwi Day."
