“Why’s the Rum Always Gone?”

Happy Friday! We made it!

This post is going to be verrrrry fast and to the point today because this girl hasn’t had time for anything! I’ve been following the Johnny Depp trial and today finally are the closing arguments. I only thought it appropriate to do a “Pirates” themed cocktail.

I’m super sad Johnny won’t be involved with the Pirates franchise anymore so so pay a little homage to that, I give you the “Why’s the Rum Always Gone” cocktail. This super easy drink recipe is perfect for summer days and it makes such a pretty color thanks to one of my favorites Blue Curaçao.

Simply add everything to a glass with ice and enjoy!

Have the best Memorial Day weekend!

An Emerald Sunrise

Happy St. Patties Day Everyone!

Today’s Martini Moment comes a day early because of this particularly boozy holiday. I’ve done green drinks in the past but never one involving tequila. This is an easy but also fancy due to the color play, recipe.

This is soooo easy. Just mix everything together and you have a perfect green drink. Because honestly, no green beer here. I will say add the OJ slowly so that you can get your preferred green. I’m not condoling day drinking but…um…this is a good one for day drinking. It’s a holiday right?! Haha!

My favorite Irish proverb that I used in a wedding toast once:

May trouble always follow you and may it never catch up.

I hope your day is full of green beverages and lots of fun!

Make You Blush

Happy Valentine’s Day Weekend!

It doesn’t matter if you celebrate or not this drink is seriously delicious. You can’t go wrong then there is fresh lemonade involved. Which is how I started this pitcher recipe.

what you do:

Make your lemonade by adding the lemon juice, water, and sugar in the pitcher and stir well. Add in everything else except the Champagne and stir again. Top with your Cava and enjoy! Not to encourage day drinking or anything but…this was made exactly for that.

note: I’ve had this in a lot of other posts on how to make the simple syrup and in case you need refreshed it’s just equal parts sugar (I used Stevia) and water. Then add in whatever flavor you’d like in this case I used strawberries. I used 1/2 cup water and Stevia and ended up with about 1/4 cup.

Whatever you find yourself doing this weekend I hope it includes an amazing drink, delicious food, and good company.
