I figured I shouldn’t torture you any longer. If you don’t have “Joy of Cooking” and you’ve been thinning about that Chocolate Bread Pudding all weekend into the week… wait no more. The official recipe… word for word. Compliments of … Continue reading
I used to cook ALL THE TIME. I mean, I took a class while I was studying abroad in Italy that was called “Italian Cooking”. I have well-worn cookbooks and family recipes that were scanned in, emailed, printed out, and … Continue reading
When I was in high school, I used to wear silver glitter as eye shadow. And not just to pep rallies or out dancing. Oh, it’s a Tuesday? I have a geometry test today? Guess I’ll wear some silver glitter. … 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.
