I can’t believe I didn’t tell you about my Super Bowl party yet!! Obviously nothing too outrageous happened, because you didn’t hear about it on the news, but we had a grand old time. I decided superstitiously against wearing my … Continue reading
It’s hard to blog around Christmas time. Mostly because surprises are really, really hard to keep when you are crafting and gifting and you just want to share pictures of all the fun things you’re making for people. But you … Continue reading
I think it was pretty obvious by my Smile! post that I was in a bit of a funk last week. I tried super hard to pull myself out of it – remembering all the things I have to be … Continue reading
I consider myself a bit of a booze expert. Mostly because I enjoy indulging in a glass of wine or a martini from time to time (aka most nights), but also because it is literally my job to make people … Continue reading
So I’ve been kind of bummed ever since the removal of our patio. And as I try to be a positive person, I’ve been staying kind of quiet in my writing until I snap out of my funk. No one … Continue reading
I am really, really excited. And when I think about it, I know I’m really an adult because I’m really excited about a kitchen appliance that I just bought. My very own juicer!! Now this has been a long time … Continue reading
Is it strange that I remember the first time I ever heard of Rhubarb? It was one of the first times I was up in Watkins Glen, NY, visiting Brad’s family. We were driving back from hanging out in Ithaca … Continue reading
Somewhere in the 2002-2003 school year I became ridiculously proud of my home state, Maryland. I know this because that was my freshman year at Rollins College. It was the year after I graduated from high school and thought “I … Continue reading
Just like all of you who are hosting holidays parties or just want to drink festively, I’ve been on the hunt for fantastic holiday cocktails recently. See the R+D Reindeer. The R+D Reindeer sold out in a few hours. We sold … Continue reading
Ok, so it wasn’t Mixology Monday, but last night we were feeling festive. Suzi and I brought in our cranberry citrus infused vodka and whipped up our version of a Moscow Mule.
Super easy, super delicious. I even sold a few to dudes that drank them really quickly so they weren’t seen with such a girly holiday martini – and then asked for another, but on the rocks this time. This drink may look sweet and fruity, but it is refreshing and crisp. A perfect holiday cocktail!
Want One?
2 oz Cranberry Infused Vodka (we did the OJ for water substitute)
**If you don’t have the time or the patience, I’m sure you can use regular vodka with a SMALL splash of cranberry juice**
4 mint leaves
2 lime wedges
1.5 oz Gingerbeer
Sugar-rimmed martini glass
Combine the vodka, mint leaves, and squeezed lime wedges over ice and shake until cold.
Strain into martini glass and top with Ginger Beer. A few mint specks are fine, they are green and festive!
We garnished our Reindeer with a few frozen cranberries, but you could add a mint leaf if you want for that perfect holiday color combo.
It looks like Santa’s hat and it tastes delicious!
Oh, and this is all I have left this morning…
I’d call it a success.
