New York in Paris

We’ve made it to Friday Friends!

By now you may know I’m really into a theme. Minus my kids bedrooms. When they tell me they want “Cars” or “The Little Mermaid” sheets or something like that then we do it… until then not so much. Haha! I digress. So keeping with all my french things this week’s Martini Moment I’m bringing you an elegant and very easy cocktail.

Fun fact: this drink was created in 1915 at a New York Bar in Paris. It was said it had such a kick that it felt like being shelled with the powerful French 75mm field gun.

This is a great drink for those who love champagne but would like a little twist with their fizz. This is a fantastic, staple cocktail to whip out when you’re feelin’ a little fancy.

And since I’m really missing international travel in my soul here is a photo of me strolling around Paris, trying my best to soak it all in. This is absolutely a trip we will do again in the future.

Enjoy your weekend! Whatever Friday means for you, be it just another day or the start of the weekend, I hope it brings you some fancy fun and a good cocktail!

Merry & Lit

You know that I love a theme and this week it has been all about the cranberry.

So obviously…

This drink is absolutely delicious! Such a great drink to serve up at your next gathering…or if you’re just having another quiet night in.

The Limoncello adds such a fun flavor to the classic Cosmo!

enjoy!

Have a great weekend! I hope it involves some delicious cocktails!

Holiday Spirits

Since it’s the first Friday in December, I thought it was only appropriate to do a very festive drink…

What you do:

This is an easy one! Just add vodka and sour apple liquor to a glass filled with ice and top with your favorite Champagne! I also added in my green “Fancy Sprinkles” for a little extra sparkle. For the rim I used icing and Christmas cake sprinkles.

I hope your weekend is full of sparkle!
