Mimosa Moments...Sort of.

Y'all.  This week has been totally crazy times 10.  However, everything seems to be finally settling down now thank God.  I got slammed with a ton at work, and we are finally making headway with unpacking and getting everything together.  Yay!  But seriously...it has been one thing after another after another this week.  TGIMFF.  For realz yo.  I decided to start my weekend off with a pedicure :)

Due to some medical issues, I will not be imbibing this weekend :O I'm currently doing this test that involves no drinking alcohol, so you know it must be a total drag (kidding...sorta...).  BUT I decided to share some of my favorite summery drink recipes with you guys this Friday to kick off summer.  None of them involve champagne.  Shocking I know, but I gotta keep you guys on your toes.  Plus variety is the spice of life right?

I miss him already!!!


But here are three of my favorite drinks to have in the summah time.  Have one in honor of me tonight!


1.  The Caramel Orange

Pure Deliciousness

Ingredients:  

2-3 oz caramel vodka, like the sweet deliciousness mentioned above.
Orange juice.

Literally just chill and mix these two together.  I was in one of my poor phases when I came up with this drink (i.e. that was literally all I had to mix together).  It was surprisingly tasty and I would highly recommend.  It is (in my opinion) a nice twist on the caramel appletini, and doesn't require 5 billion ingredients to make.  A+ in my book.


2.  Pregame at Tiffany's

Original Picture and Recipe from mamasstyle.com

I added a twist to the original lovely blue lemonade that just screams "I'm classy as shit" while getting wasted.

Ingredients:
1 oz of blue curacao (more depending on your color pref)
2 oz peach schnapps
1 oz vodka (I've done both regular and citrus flavored)
lemonade

Put that stuff in your mixer, shake n bake, and pour into martini glasses.  Bonus points: Rim glasses with sugar, as seem above.  But let's be real, who is really gonna rim that nonsense when they're wasted-faced?  Just sayin.  I won't judge if you don't Martha Stewart your glasses.  Remember- just by drinkin this beverage, you're classy as shit.  

3.  Mali-booty

#sorrynotsorry for loving this movie.  Plus Taye Diggs is SO attractive.

Ingredients:

3 oz Malibu Rum
Cherry Coke

Can you tell I have a thing for simple, yet delicious drinks?  Mix them two together, then sit back on the beach and relax as you lol while watching the above movie on your ipad, or iphone, or whatever technological device you may have.  I'm pretty sure I can quote the above movie with 90% accuracy.  Is that pathetic or awesome?  I'm gonna go with Awesome for $400.

Anyway these are some of my favorite, very simple beverages that I love mixing up in the summer.  I have a ton of drink recipes up my sleeve, cause I'm always trying new recipes.  Would y'all like to hear some recipes that aren't champagne related?  What are you're favorite summer drinks?  Lemme know!

Stay classy (and have a drink for me!!)
