Mixer & Mingle Fridays: Gimme some lovin', Honey

I swear my parents used to slip me whiskey for more than just teething. I mean, they won't admit to it and rightfully so... I'm sure CPS has some sort of after-the-fact rule where they can still throw you in jail and take your offspring away at the age of 26 but, between you and I... I had to have been raised on it. 

Sometimes you just need somethin a little bit sweeter though, and that's where Honey whiskey whisked me off my feet (see what I did there?) 

When that amber liquid gets all chummy with some lemonade.... hubba hubba. I've seen a plethora of other recipes involving honey whiskey but let's be real, on most occasions when I'm mixing I like to keep it simple!

Try it, you'll like it. Promise.

Mixer & Mingle Fridays: Cuke Mules

My daddy once taught me you've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything.

Ok, so it wasn't actually my dad, it was Aaron Tippin but still. Country boys know what's up.

It was brought to my attention that I've become the biggest advocate of cucumber vodka. (Cuke for president!) I can't help it. It's like the weird ginger kid on the playground that no one wants to play with. It's like the yellow crayon of my world. So, I invited it to come mingle in my cocktails last year, and then I accidentally went and fell in love.

Originally it was Effen Cucumber Vodka + Lemonade. But then this year, Moscow Mules became the IT drink, and one local eatery slipped some cuke vodka into my copper mug and sent me into a tailspin. Heels over head doesn't even describe this drink for me.

Sadly, I place things like paying my electric bill as a higher priority than buying $20 copper mugs for my home, and my cocktail suffers (argue all you want, the mug for sure makes it taste better) but a mason jar full of Effen Cuke, ginger beer and lime makes my speakers go boom boom.

Try it. You'll like it. Everyone's doing it.

Mixer & Mingle Fridays: Pinnacle Cinnabon

 Really, what more is there to say?

Cinnabon flavored vodka.

I want this in every cup of coffee I drink from here on out
