Happy Hour Friday: Aqua Thunder
This is a fun summer time drink. Cool and refreshing, it's great for poolside service (hint, hint). ;) Admittedly, there hasn't been much (any) pool activity yet. To most of you, that's not surprising. But for those of you who live in the Gulf Coas...Happy Hour Friday: Prickly Pear Margarita
The first time I had a prickly pear margarita (or even heard of a prickly pear) was a few years ago on a trip to Vegas. My entourage (haha) and I were waiting in the airport for our flight home, and we parked ourselves at one of the restaurants to drink ...Happy Hour Friday: Banana Monkey
Okay, I'm getting a jump on summer here; but this drink is just too good to wait until pool time! I discovered this treat at a resort in Cancun the first time C. and I vacationed there. My sister and brother-in-law have a time share at a wonderful res...Happy Hour Friday: Red Orange Cooler
Today is just a quick check in to let you know I am indeed still alive ;) and to share another great drink. These past two weeks have been so hectic for me, I don't know whether I'm coming or going. My life is a whirlwind, and I am trying to regain so...Happy Hour Friday: Strawberry Mojito
I'm finally back! It's been a hectic two weeks with a nice little getaway tucked in over the Easter weekend. I hope each one of you enjoyed your holiday weekend as much as I did. :) C (Spicehubby) and I stole away to Abita Springs for a peaceful week...Happy Hour Friday: Metropolitan
Happy Friday! Here we go again.... ;) This martini is another go-to favorite from our "Martini Guide" ranking system. The recipe is basic and easy to mix, except Absolut Kurant can be difficult to come by. Our local liquor shop carries it just for u...Happy Hour Friday: the Mockingjay
In a nod to the Hunger Games mania sweeping the nation, today's cocktail is the Mockingjay. Much like the story's heroine Katniss, this drink is strong, crisp and packs a punch. It's also mockingjay blue for full effect. If you haven't read these boo...Happy Hour Friday: Skittles Margarita
So, as I mentioned last Friday, my friend Cindy S. was concocting a margarita to enter into a cooking competition last weekend. Well, I'm happy to announce that her margarita took 4th place overall! WooHooo! You go, Girl! You're a Supa-Star And t...Happy Hour Friday: Purple Haze Margarita
Since my Abita Strawberry Beeramisu has had such a wide and positive reception, I thought I'd feature another favorite Abita brew for this week's Happy Hour Friday post. Purple Haze, if you haven't had it before, is a raspberry-flavored lager. It's one ...Happy Hour Friday: Skittles Vodka
I mentioned a few weeks ago that Spicehubby and I attended a Mardi Gras ball. Well, it was my krewe's formal ball; and we had such a great time! A friend and krewe sister--Cindy S-- served up skittles shots somewhere in the midst of all the fun, and no ...
