No Green Beer Here!

Happy St. Patricks Day my Friends!

It may not come as a surprise to you that I rarely do beer let alone green beer. Pass. Now I’ll happily take a Stella or Peroni on a hot summer day. Other than that you’ll usually find some type of wine in my hand. I digress. Anyway…

Today, I thought it would switch up my usual Martini Moment that’s usually on Fridays and Perfectly Plated that is on Wednesdays. Because I might not be Irish but I do love a reason to celebrate. So for today’s rare Wednesday Martini Moment I made you two different cocktails if green beer just isn’t you.

The first is a version of a mimosa. Because let’s start the day out fun right?

• Pour 2 oz of orange juice into four flutes.

• Add in 1/2 oz vodka and stir.

• Top with Champagne but make sure you leave some room at the top.

• Pour in Blue Curaçao, it will settle at the bottom to make a layered look.

  If you guys saw my Reel I did on Mimosas you know I usually don’t add anything to my Champagne (haha!). This recipe is delicious though and perfect to start out St. Patty’s Day!

This next one is a super delicious and easy martini.

All you do for this one is throw everything in a shaker with ice and shake, shake, shake!

Thanks for stopping by!

I hope you all have a fun and safe St. Patrick’s Day!

A Spring Swig

Well, we’ve made it to another Friday and another Martini Moment.

Now I know that we ask a random rodent when he thinks that Spring will be here and we believe him but it sure has felt like Spring weather this week. There is something about the end of February that gets me (and probably all of us) excited for the warmer season on it’s way. As always I love to cook seasonally. Along with that, I like to drink seasonally, too. This drink recipe screams Spring with the lemons and fresh Thyme.

what you do:

• Add honey and hot water to a cocktail shaker and stir until well combined

• Toss in blackberries and muddle

• Add vodka and lemon juice and ice

• Shake, shake, shake!

• Pour into a glass over a strainer so that it will collect any blackberry bits

• Garnish with blackberries, lemon, and fresh Thyme

  We are all totally ready for Spring right? Right. Enjoy your weekend and I hope you do something fabulous! For me? Our next big job starts Sunday. Cocktails will be required.

A Chic Rita

Hello and Happy Friday to you!

Yesterday was “National Drink Wine Day”, a pretty great holiday if you ask me. Well get ready because we have another boozy holiday coming…”National Margarita Day” which is February 22nd. I feel it is my responsibility to make sure you, my dear reader, are prepared for this not so ordinary Monday.

Keeping on brand with me I decided to give you a very chic Margarita

what you do:

It’s an easy one! Throw it all in a shaker with ice and strain over crushed ice.

I’m pretty obsessed with St. Germain and it is the perfect addition to this cocktail. So go ahead, get fancy and enjoy this delicious Marg this weekend…or even better, on Monday.

Have a fabulously fun weekend!
