Birthday Booze!

It's birthday season around here! If you can believe it,all three members of our little family have a birthday in the month of January.  We just call it birthday month. To celebrate my birthday since we didn't get around to making our 10th cake of the month we made:

Boozey Birthday Cake Shakes

1 Pint of Ice Cream

2 Shots of Bourbon

Whipped Cream
Food Color (if desired)

Sprinkles

Could we have any more balloons?

Now, the thing about this particular drink is that it's the last one we'll be enjoying 'till March 1.  Boo! Hiss! We're going to make it a Dry February and try and work off some of that birthday cake, holiday weight and booze.  So if no one has any objections, and since I think all of three people read this blog and likely don't care.... February posts won't have anything to do with booze! (Egads!) but I promise to try and make them equally fun.  Keep in mind February is a short month and the booze posts will be back before you know it! 

Cheers!

SnOwMG!

Here we are; day 2 or 3 depending how you look at it, of snOwMG! We decided that we want to make sure that on top of everything else, we don't get sick.  One of the things I believe strongly helps you to remain healthy, is a good dose of Vitamin C.  Lucky us, we'd just gotten a shipment of Honeybells before snOwMG hit!  If you haven't had a honeybell, you are seriously missing out.  These are a holiday tradition for us and we always over order and end up juicing some of them.  So we decided to put some of that juice to work as a:

SnOwMG Honeybell Sparkler

1 oz Vodka

6 oz Honeybell Juice

Splash of Seltzer Water

Yeah, that hit the spot and so far neither of us are sick.  I'd say it MUST be working and we all need to consume these on a regular basis in order to maintain our health. 

Cheers!

Ringing in the New Year

Since we'd planned to leave on Violet's birthday trip on New Year's Day this year, we decided to forgo our traditional getting tipsy at home in favor of getting enough sleep (how old are we?) so we had to break out the bubbly a little late this year. This Wilson Creek Almond "champagne" caught our eye. We thought almond? Why not? We were rewarded for our dare to dream attitude by DELICIOUSNESS! We went to the store the very next day to buy more it was so good. In fact, I liked it SO much that my New Year's resolution is to try more types of champagne and sparkling wines. I know... how EVER will we be able to keep such a challenging resolution?

Cheers!
