I have been on the biggest lemonade kick lately. Found this recipe for a watermelon-mint lemonade and was intrigued. I had all the ingrediants in the house and whipped up a batch. It was delish! So refreshing and yummy but it was missing something……… Vodka. Adding a little bit of vodka or rum will make this drink over the top! So ring in the spring with a refreshing, fruity cocktail!!! Watermelon Mint Cocktail 4 cups seedless watermelon 1 1/2 cups lemonade 1/2 cup mint 1/2 cup vodka, run or tequila Puree the watermelon and lemonade in a blender or immersion…

Super Bowl Extravaganza
0It’s the start of Suu-Suuuu-Suuuuper Bowl weekend baby! And my Giants are in it……again! That’s what I’m talkin’ bout! There is only one way to watch this game, and it’s with a party.

Thirsty Thursday – New Years Edition
0Although still extremely hung over from New Years, I had to find ways to get rid of the 4 Asti bottles I have left over in my fridge. I came across the ‘Old Capri Long Drink’ on yummly.com. It must be my Italian blood that was drawn to this but anything that has Asti Spumante AND Limoncello as its main ingredients is a winner in my book. Old Capri Long Drink 2 oz Limoncello Asti Spumante Fill a tall glass with ice. Pour Limoncello over ice then fill the rest of the glass with the Asti Spumante. Garnish with a…

Thirsty Thursday – Dirttty Edition
0I would like to pay homage to one of the tastiest and classiest of martinis this week: The Dirty Martini. Possibly my favorite of all the martini’s out there. One of my first experiences wtih this lucious drink was back almost 6 years ago at Blue Martini. As soon as the salty mix touched my lips I was hooked. What made this drink what it is was the garnish of olives. They weren’t your normal Spanish olives. They were stuffed with..wait for it…blue cheese. Indulge yourself..I beg of you. Classic Vodka Dirttty Martini with Blue Cheese Stuffed Olives Makes 2…
