An Emerald Sunrise

Happy St. Patties Day Everyone!

Today’s Martini Moment comes a day early because of this particularly boozy holiday. I’ve done green drinks in the past but never one involving tequila. This is an easy but also fancy due to the color play, recipe.

This is soooo easy. Just mix everything together and you have a perfect green drink. Because honestly, no green beer here. I will say add the OJ slowly so that you can get your preferred green. I’m not condoling day drinking but…um…this is a good one for day drinking. It’s a holiday right?! Haha!

My favorite Irish proverb that I used in a wedding toast once:

May trouble always follow you and may it never catch up.

I hope your day is full of green beverages and lots of fun!

Make You Blush

Happy Valentine’s Day Weekend!

It doesn’t matter if you celebrate or not this drink is seriously delicious. You can’t go wrong then there is fresh lemonade involved. Which is how I started this pitcher recipe.

what you do:

Make your lemonade by adding the lemon juice, water, and sugar in the pitcher and stir well. Add in everything else except the Champagne and stir again. Top with your Cava and enjoy! Not to encourage day drinking or anything but…this was made exactly for that.

note: I’ve had this in a lot of other posts on how to make the simple syrup and in case you need refreshed it’s just equal parts sugar (I used Stevia) and water. Then add in whatever flavor you’d like in this case I used strawberries. I used 1/2 cup water and Stevia and ended up with about 1/4 cup.

Whatever you find yourself doing this weekend I hope it includes an amazing drink, delicious food, and good company.

The Blue Blizzard

Well. We’ve made it to Friday, Friends.

Chilly out there, eh? It is in my neck of the woods. That’s exactly why I’ve brought you the perfect boozy winter cocktail. It’s very simple, too. I always say to have a bottle of Blue Curaçao around (I’ve had mine for a long time) because you can do some really cool drink colors with it.

Okay, on to the cocktail.

what you do:

Simply throw everything into a cocktail shaker with ice, except the soda. Then, strain into a martini glass and top with the soda.

For the rim:

Dip in corn syrup (but not too much like I did here) and then dip in a white sprinkle.

Have a fabulous weekend!
