Thirsty Thursday

It has already gotten so hot here. When I got in my car today, the thermometer read 105! So today's drink must be something refreshing!

Thirsty Thursday

With the long Memorial Day weekend upon us, I thought I'd post a drink recipe for your enjoyment. Temps here are already in the high 90s so I was looking for a refreshing drink. I've found just the thing.

Raspberry Beer Cocktail. This is a Southern Living recipe so all credits go to them.

And, how much do we love these glasses?
They'd be so easy to recreate!

Also, with it being Memorial Day weekend and tons of folks heading to the beach or pool, I'm also posting this tidbit of helpful info I came across yesterday on safe sunscreens.

You guessed it! It's time to play Fill That Glass!

As I write, Hubby is recuperating from hernia surgery. I am totally exhausted. His surgery started at 1:45. It took less than an hour and an hour after that, I was in the recovery room with him. We left the hospital in just enough time to sit in rush-hour traffic. From there, a quick stop at the pharmacy to drop off his scrips then I took him home. Man-cub watched him while I ran to the grocery store to pick up something for dinner and back to the pharmacy to get the pain meds. Then, I fixed dinner, checked on Hubby, put away groceries, cleaned the kitchen, checked on Hubby, did homework with the Princess and Not-too-big-to-say-he-loves-me, checked on Hubby, made lunches for tomorrow, gave Hubby his meds, and had a glass of wine!

Tonight's choice: Pinot Evil Pinot Noir

Cheers!

The Cocktail for This Week is the...
Bogie
(a variation of the Arnold Palmer)

Step 1: Make sour mix (To do this, you make simple syrup. Combine 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar in saucepan over low heat until sugar dissolves. Allow to cool. Next, you add 1/2 cup lemon juice to 1/4 cup of the simple syrup and refrigerate.)

Step 2: Combine 2 oz. Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka and 1 oz. sour mix in a cocktail shaker. Shake and strain over crushed ice.

Step 3: If you wanna be fancy, garnish with a sugared lemon wedge.

Now, it's time to play Empty That Glass!
