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!

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!

Winter Root Beer Float

1 oz Dark Rum

1 Can RootBeer

Vanilla IceCream

Cheers!
