Get Your ‘Ab Fab’ Drink On

Everyone knows that Patsy and Edina love their alcohol, so it’s only fitting they should have drinks created in their honor. Derek O’Connor, an absolute mixologist at one of New York City’s finest watering holes, The Blind Pig, which plays host to many UK football fans in the area (including the NYC Arsenal Supporters), crafted five easy and palatable recipes that Patsy, Eddy and even Mother would be proud to toast with.
