Cozy & Festive

Happy…Friday? I think that’s what it is…

Well, have you recovered from New Years celebrating or are you ready for more? This cocktail I’m picturing drinking by a cozy fire under a blanket. Not so much new year madness.

I had a little more fun with this cocktail, got out my smoker, and flavored the glasses with maple for a little extra kick. An optional step, of course.

what you do:

Simple! Fill a shaker with ice, add in everything and shake, shake, shake! Then, pour into two, possibly smoked, glasses. I used two big ice orbs because they make me feel fancy. Garnish with fresh rosemary.

Fast tip: If you don’t have a smoker, you can add a little flame to your rosemary until it smokes and safely put it under your flipped glass while you make your cocktail.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the last weekend before we all return to normal life.

Cheers my friends!

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!

An Eggscellent Cocktail

I’ve got a question for you. Would you like to know my special talent? It’s making the biggest effing mess in the kitchen when I make a cocktail. Kidding.

It’s true but my real question is:

Have you ever added an egg to your cocktail?

And really, why do it? Long story short, it adds texture to a drink without adding any extra flavor.

Today I’m bringing you a super cool an quite beautiful drink recipe. This is an easy one that is sure to impress your guests or even just for a girls night.

what you do:

Throw the blueberries, lemon juice, and sugar (I used Stevia) in your cocktail shaker and muddle. Add gin and egg white.

shake, shake, shake!

This recipe makes two drinks, so pour over ice and garnish with lemon. I like Hendricks gin but use whatever you like.

This drink is SO refreshing and absolutely delicious. Have one for me because my weekend is nothing but busy with work.

Cheers!
