Boozy Lucky Charms Shake with Baileys

April 3, 2020 by Holly Leave a Comment

This Boozy Lucky Charms Shake with Baileys will start your St. Patrick’s Day off right. A blend of vanilla yogurt, cereal, Baileys and vanilla vodka with a marshmallow topping makes a festive adult treat.

I would much rather have a festive green drink for St. Patrick’s day than the traditional corned beef meal. The only time I really make Shepherd’s Pie is when I have leftover turkey and mashed potatoes. This year, St. Patrick’s Day was enjoyed throughout the week in quarantine with 1 (or 2) of these and my favorite green boozy delights.

Boozy cereal shakes are one of my newfound enjoyments. I recommend trying this recipe with any of your other favorite childhood cereals. You really can’t go wrong with this sweet, creamy flavor combination. I experimented with this recipe last year and tried making it with ice cream and it was incredibly too sweet. Even for someone with a major sweet tooth like myself. A bit of vanilla Greek yogurt is healthier and gives it the perfect texture.

Trying to home school my 2 little ones while blogging and working a job in social services has proven to be a bit of a challenge. That is why I’m just now getting my St. Patty’s Day post up. Multi-tasking has taken on a whole new meaning that has me wanting to indulge in all my favorite cocktails. I may be short on toilet paper, but my liquor cabinet is fully stocked. We may not be able to leave the house, so let’s enjoy a Painkiller Cocktail or some Jamaican Rum punch.

Fuzzy Navel Peach Sangria

August 26, 2018 by Holly Leave a Comment

A Fuzzy Navel Peach Sangria is a celestial medley of everything that is right in this world. Plenty of fresh peaches get combined with a bottle of white Moscato, orange juice, peach schnapps, and vodka.

If you make a big pitcher of this, it will be quickly eliminated Terminator style. It might have something to do with just how great a fuzzy navel cocktail tastes thrown together with wine and peaches. I’m seriously, drinking a glass (or 3) of this while typing this post. Please forgive me if there are a few more typos (than usual). Luckily, I’ve hired my husband to be my editor. He gets paid via food and cocktails, so we are all winners.

A lot of brainstorming went into this creation (all 5 minutes or so). My original plan was to just make it a peach sangria with a bit of pie flavor. However, something made me think of the magnificence that is a Fuzzy Navel Cocktail. I mean, we’re talking peach schnapps, orange juice and vodka. These are a few of my favorite things, but not when the bee stings. Getting stung in the ankle bone by a bee just sucks. True story…it really happened to me last weekend.

My digressions have led me down a very bumpy road that will be regrettable later. Simply said, this drink is too good. You must mix up a pitcher of it immediately and share with your friends if you’re feeling altruistic.

That being said, I would love to take you through the pain-staking process of making this delightful sangria. Dump a bunch of sliced up peaches into a big old pitcher. Pour a whole bottle of White Moscato into said pitcher. Add orange juice, peach schnapps and vodka. Stir it up and try not to drink it all at once!

Yes, I have a slightly unhealthy obsession for Sangria. It is my number 1 go-to drink for entertaining (myself). If you love this Fuzzy Navel Peach Sangria, check out my Cocktail Page for even more inspiration.

Pretty in Pink Martini

February 2, 2018 by Holly Leave a Comment

A Pretty in Pink Martini is perfect for Valentine’s Day, wedding or baby showers! A blend of X-Ray Fusion Liqueur, peach liqueur and fruit juices create the perfect, fruity flavor that everyone is sure to drink up.

This is literally, my go-to cocktail when I’m in the mood for a bit of sweetness with a kick. The flavors are just out of this world delicious and you won’t even notice you are drinking alcohol (danger, danger). What girl doesn’t love a bit of pink in their life, anyway? My poor husband is probably SO tired of all things pink around here with a house of girls.

Watermelon Margarita Slush Bucket

July 15, 2017 by Holly 2 Comments

A Watermelon Margarita Slush Bucket makes summer entertaining SO easy! Fresh watermelon puree is added to gold tequila, frozen limeade, and orange juice with a splash of cranberry for added coloring. Freeze it overnight in a one gallon bucket and enjoy!

I’m envisioning an umbrella on the beach and a bucket of Watermelon Margarita Slushes on ice next to me. Maybe, I could just put a couple of large straws right in the bucket (at least I plan on sharing with another person). This is how I wish my whole summer could be. No painting, cleaning the house, or trying to reason with a miniature version of myself. Just pure relaxation at its best with a great drink in hand.

The inspiration for this cocktail was due to an error at the grocery store once again. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten to the store and thought that there was no need to break out the old list. I mean, I got it all figured out in life! On one of these fine days, I convinced myself that I put limeade concentrate in Whiskey Sour Slushes. The limeade just sat in my fridge for quite some time. It even moved houses with me.

After getting tired of looking at said limeade in my freezer, I decided to throw it away or make something glorious. I’m SO glad that I didn’t throw it away! It turns out that limeade makes the perfect margarita slush bucket. The possibilities are endless folks! Just use throw in plenty of tequila and a bit of orange juice and your favorite fruits for a winner, winner, tequila dinner situation.

Hey 100 degree weather, don’t mess with me! I will just keep making buckets of slush and beat you at your own game! Now, I just need to get a bigger kiddie pool to soak my feet it…major life goals are in play.

Hope you are staying cool this hot summer. Check out my Cocktail Page for other great summer cocktail ideas. Whiskey Sour Slushes and Strawberry Lemon Sangrias are also great for summer entertaining. Why not make them all it once? After all, variety is the spice of life.

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Martini

January 21, 2017 by Holly 2 Comments

A Chocolate Covered Strawberry Martini makes the perfect Valentine’s Day cocktail! This creamy drink has fresh strawberry puree, chocolate and strawberry vodka, and a chocolate covered strawberry garnishment. A festive, red sugar sprinkle rim tops off this dreamy delight with swirls of chocolate syrup.

Chocolate covered strawberries are mandatory around here for Valentine’s Day and luckily, they are super easy to make. First, make sure your strawberries are washed and dried well. Melt a bag of chocolate chips in a double boiler, transfer to a small bowl, dip ’em real good, twirl ’em, and let them cool off on wax paper. Store them in the fridge once cooled for a great Valentine’s treat. My family literally fights over them! That’s why it is absolutely necessary to hide a few for yourself. Beware, its quite the conundrum when you discover your kids have eaten the chocolate coating off of said strawberries while they are ‘safely’ cooling on the counter.

Have you seen all the flavors and brands of vodka available these days? I don’t want to know how many of them are in my cabinet(s)! I’m going to need a vodka cellar in my new house (if there is such a thing). My mother is literally triple wrapping my precious bottles for my upcoming move as I type. Yes, packing avoidance is a true disorder and I have it. Oh lawd…my MOL just said she was going to drink the bottles that “don’t have much”. Hmmm…maybe she is on to something.

Pumpkin Shandy

October 1, 2016 by Holly Leave a Comment

This Pumpkin Shandy is a refreshing light drink with pumpkin beer, apple cider, fresh orange juice and a splash of triple sec. You can add equal parts alcohol and fruit juice or increase either to taste. It also doesn’t hurt to throw in a splash of vodka to kick things up a bit.

I am definitely more of a vodka drinker, so a nice shandy or mule with a splash of vodka is a great way to drink beer. It is also a pretty versatile drink. You can add your favorite fruit juices or lemonade with equal parts beer for a great, lighter drink. Serve it over ice in a Moscow Mule mug with a garnishment of fresh fruit for a beautiful presentation.

I just love the look of copper mugs with the colors of fall. They are also great for keeping your drinks refreshingly cool. You can find them just about anywhere these days with the rise in popularity of the mule. There are quite a few different pumpkin beers to choose from this time of the year, so feel free to choose your favorite brand.

Its amazing how my little ones have an instant craving for fresh apples and oranges the second I try to take pictures of them! I usually have to beg them to eat their fruits and vegetables. Apparently, everything always tastes better when it isn’t your own. Which consequently, is a great diet plan…bite of your sandwich, bite of your soup, bite of your pancakes, drink of your latte (heck no!).
