Who is Milkman’s Daughter?
The original Milkman delivered milk to his neighbors in the early morning.
His daughter, however, doesn’t really do the whole dairy thing and isn’t exactly an early riser.
Milkman’s Daughter likes a creative cocktail, living on Pacific Standard Time in Hoosier Land, and finding new reasons to get together with friends and the community around her — which is always best enjoyed with a drink in hand.
