A Simple Sip

Happy Friday, All!

Let’s make a cocktail to celebrate the weekend!

This drink is perfect for walking in the door after work and throwing together a very simple sip. No fresh mint on hand? Honestly you can do one drop of mint extract if you happen to have it. Have neither? Oh well, play through.

what you do:

Throw some mint into a glass with a few wedges of lime and muddle.

Add some ice, then your rum, and top with Sprite (I used Sprite Zero).

Garnish with mint and lime and you’ve got yourself the perfect Friday cocktail with not much effort.

I hope you all have a fabulous last weekend in January. Also how is it still January?

Anywho, cheers, Friends!

Capri in a Cup

Hey Fab Friends!

Every time I sip Limoncello I am immediately transported to the Amalfi Coast in Capri where I had tried it for the first time. I was blown away! If you aren’t into sipping an Aperol Spritz this summer, try one of these delicious limoncello drinks! They are really fast and completely hit the spot on a hot summer day.

what you do:

Simply add limoncello, vodka, and lemon juice to your chosen glass and then top with champagne and garnish. Then immediately head to the patio to enjoy!

This has really been my summertime cocktail. So refreshing. Garnishing it with fresh basil really adds another fresh element.

Next up!

Another easy one. And here is what you do: add equal parts : limoncello, vodka, and lemonade and throw those over ice and enjoy!

These drinks are perfect for wrapping up another summer in the sun. I hope after reading this you head to the store for some limoncello! I also hope that this fabulous Friday meets you with a some fun and a delicious, chilled cocktail!

Dulling the Pain of Rain…

Happy Friday! We made it!

My last post included fresh basil and I couldn’t help but stay on the same page and make a drink that uses it. In my neck of the woods, we do not have a very pleasant forecast this weekend. Sometimes the only thing to fix multiple dreary days is a cocktail. The plus side? At least it’s spring. This drink absolutely screams spring, and it dulls the pain of the rain. It’s so fresh and so delicious.

I’m keeping this fast this fine Friday…

what you do:

Throw basil, cucumber, and lime juice to a shaker and muddle. Then, just add lemonade and vodka and shake, shake, shake! Pour over your glass of choice with ice and garnish with lime, cucumber, or both.

Side note: It’s absolutely shocking what I do to my kitchen while making the easiest of drinks. Like how do I destroy it all every single time?

Anyway, have a wonderful weekend! Avoid the rain and negative thoughts and maybe have a cocktail or two.
