My Martini Moment

Whiskeyed Away

Happy Friday, Friends!

In honor of my Husband hanging out in Kentucky, Land of Bourbon, I thought I’d dedicate this weeks “Martini Moment” to just that. I’m bringing you two very fast, very delicious whiskey cocktails. The first is a super easy Mule.

what you do:

  1. In a copper mug, add ice, bourbon (I used Weller Special Reserve) and fresh lime juice. Then stir.

  2. Top with Ginger beer (I always use Fever Tree), and garnish with fresh mint (taken from my patio).

    Enjoy!

    Next up…

    Not that I don’t love a Mule, however, this one of the two was surly my favorite…

what you do:

  1. Add whiskey (I used Jack Daniels Single Barrel), lemon juice, triple sec, and simple syrup to a shaker full of ice.

  2. Shake, shake, shake!

  3. Strain into a glass also full of ice, and then add lemon-lime soda.

  4. Garnish with fresh lemon.

    Enjoy!

I had so much fun making these drinks. I usually don’t use bourbon when making cocktails but this reminds me that I should do so more often.

I hope you have a fantastic, fun filled weekend!

The Bees Knees

Happy Friday, All!

You may know that I simply love bees. I have them everywhere! My shoes, some bags, so why not put one on my drink?

Since the first day of summer is Tuesday, I thought I’d bring you a perfect and simple summer cocktail.

To make the syrup just bring equal parts honey and water to a boil and let cool. This mixes super well in cold drinks like this one.

what you do:

Simply add everything to a shaker and pour over ice. Garnish with lemon and enjoy!

Have the best weekend & Happy Father’s Day to all the Dads out there!

“Why’s the Rum Always Gone?”

Happy Friday! We made it!

This post is going to be verrrrry fast and to the point today because this girl hasn’t had time for anything! I’ve been following the Johnny Depp trial and today finally are the closing arguments. I only thought it appropriate to do a “Pirates” themed cocktail.

I’m super sad Johnny won’t be involved with the Pirates franchise anymore so so pay a little homage to that, I give you the “Why’s the Rum Always Gone” cocktail. This super easy drink recipe is perfect for summer days and it makes such a pretty color thanks to one of my favorites Blue Curaçao.

Simply add everything to a glass with ice and enjoy!

Have the best Memorial Day weekend!
