The bright blue is what pulls the eye to the drink at first. And, after the first taste you are truly taken over by Flat Bed. Exclusively offered at Truck Stop Grill and Bar, the drink is named for a particular type of truck.

Very smooth in quality and taste, the drink has a slight sweet taste. According to bartender Donavan Boothe, customers like the taste because it is not overwhelming. Referred to as a girl's drink, it has been the number one signature drink for many when they make it to Truck Stop.
