SPRINKLES TO THE RIM...

white sangria!

today i am
going to a party!

 i have made white sangria...

YUM!

i used an extra large bottle of pinot grigio...

tons of fresh local strawberries, cut in half

and peeled, sliced kiwi...

i let this soak overnight

added a touch of splenda

and finished it with club soda

served over ice...

delicious!!

margaritas!

with the warm weather 

i have margaritas on my mind!

premixed margaritas are so very fattening,

full of sugar...

this is the recipe i like to use...

2 oz tequila (blanco)
1 oz fresh lime juice
½ tsp fructose or sugar

1 oz triple sec

(not as strong as grand marnier but much prettier in the glass)

shake vigorously

and pour over rocks

with a salted rim...

now for the rim, 

rub lime juice around the rim

then i like to use gourmet

sea salts like himalayan pink, grey sea salt, 

fleur de sel or bolivian rose salt. 

for something really different try finding vanilla fleur de sel 

or bali coconut and lime smoked sea salt.

these salts look so pretty on the rim 

and taste great, especially when mixed

with a touch of sugar...

Cheers everybody!

 today is friday lets all go have a margarita!!

happy weekend!

perfect storm cocktail...

perfect storm cocktail

Serves 1

• 1 vanilla bean
• 1/2 cup superfine sugar
• 1 ounce ginger brew (we like Reed's)
• 1 1/2 ounces apple cider
• 2 ounces dark rum (we use Gosling's Black seal)

Directions

1. Split a vanilla bean lengthwise, scrape out the inside and add it to the sugar, setting aside the pod. Stir until the sugar is speckled with bits of vanilla. Dip the rim of a glass in water, then in the sugar to coat. Mix ginger brew, apple cider, and rum in a measuring cup. Pour over ice into glass and garnish with half the vanilla bean.

i think this sounds delicious

and will be a perfect drink for my party...

maybe i will put some eyeballs

in the ice!!
