Thirsty Thursday: My own little concoction...
Another Thirsty Thursday is among us... and after the days zaq & i both had yesterday... it was DUE time for a drink... So this has been my new favorite... cocktail lately... and I came up with it quite randomly, btu I gotta say its FANTASTIC... And did i mention its pretty too?
So... maybe thats not my exact photo I got it from Napoleon Place... but it pretty much looks just like that... but the orange is on bottom & the red secret ingredient is on the top. YUMMM... its 12:30 too early for another? Probably... Now a name... a name... lets call it... The RockerByeBoozin', lol I think that works nicely... Heres how you can make it... PLEASE make it... drink it.... love it... but if you take this recipe... Give credit where its due ;)
The RockerByeBoozin'
For an 8 ounce glass...
Fill with ice...
First, add 2oz. Vodka (I like SKYY)
I like to do the vodka first because then the other ingredients mix it up without having to stir...
Next, add 2oz. Orange Juice...
now here is the kicker ;)
Finally... fill to the top with DIET (or regular) CRANBERRY SIERRA MIST
And garnish if you feel it necessary!
I promise it is AMAZINGGGGG... I have been buying the Cran. SM on sale when I can since its seasonal... You can get it at walmart right now for .88 for a 2-liter bottle.
Try it out and tell me what you think!!
Whats your favorite home made cocktail recipe?!

Thirsty Thursday... Cocktail time!
So - I have a pounding headache...
And, if the babies weren't here...
it would totally be cocktail hour...
so I got this idea...
rather than actually partaking in a cocktail...
with two toddlers running around...
at 3:00 in the afternoon... on a thursday...
Im gunna start sharing some of my favorite cocktail recipes...
From what we used to call "Thirsty Thursday" in college... he he he
This recipe found from http://www.drinksmixer.com/cat/1/
Check them out for more like these!
I am a HUGEEEE, HUGE fan of a Pomegranate Martini...
So much so, that when Zaq and I get engaged..
I spent a whopping $14 on one at the W...
it was worth every penny on that dream night...
but here in reality, I can't spend $14 every time I want a drink...
So here is the perfect recipe for the favorite Pomegranate Martini.
"1.5 oz Three Olives® Pomegranate Vodka
1 oz POM® pomegranate juice
1.5 oz fresh Blackberry Puree
1 oz cranberry juice
Shake well with ice and strain into a chilled martini glass."
Now - if your in the mood for a little texture...
You have to try this 5 fruit Sangria...
Every now and then we have bbq's...
and when we do, its kind of a rule that I have to make some Sangria...
Now, I put tons and tons and tons fruit in it...
Strawberries... Berries... Peaches... Apples... whatever I can get...
But here is a great recipe that you could totally add to if you want.
I found it here... http://www.wineintro.com/sangria/fivefruit.html
"Ingredients
1 bottle red wine
1/2 cup brandy
1/2 cup triple sec
1/2 cup sugar
1 6 oz bottle club soda
1 orange
1 lemon
1 lime
1 red apple
1 peach
Cut all fruits into wedges and put into a pitcher. Add in rest of the ingredients and stir well. Let sit for 2 hours or more. Serve over ice."
I know these are totally chick drinks...
so last but not least lets mention something for the guys...
or the girls... that like a good brew.
Check this out...
Its called, Skip and go naked: Combine beer, lemon juice and gin, with a dash of grenadine." How fantatic does that sound???
