Snowmageddon!

 

It's Snowmageddon here in Seattle and I celebrated being stuck in the house with a rambunctious 7 year old with this little beauty. 

Snowmageddon Berry Slush

1 oz Rum

1 cup of frozen berries

3 oz Sweetened Lime Juice

1/2 cup of Snow (or water if you aren't feeling eating snow)

Quite good!  In case you can't tell, I often just throw things in the blender that I have available, give it a pithy name and call it good.  It's easier than making a real drink. We're anxiously awaiting Snowpocolypse so stay tuned to see what we whip up next!

Cheers!

Floating Away

You know what goes with almost anything? A shot of booze.  A shot of booze will get almost any drink up on it's feet and make it a lot more fun to drink.  Case in point; a root beer float is absolutely DELIGHTFUL with a shot of dark rum.  Now you may not think that cold drink like this would be a good choice on such a cold winter day, but I learned long ago from Cliff Claven that you should drink cold drinks on cold days, and hot drinks on hot days, despite what common sense would dictate.  I have no idea if that's true or not, but in my opinion, any day is a good day for a root beer float with booze in it!
