TAKE A SIP: GRAPEFRUIT SIPPER

See, when I posted my last drink recipe on this here blog I figured it would be the last uber-fruity drink I'd post for a while, since Fall was here.

Welp.

It was 80 degrees this weekend, and to me, that just ain't hot cider weather.

Hence this recipe for a super easy grapefruit sipper!

 

What you need to make it happen:

- Fresh Squeezed red grapefruit juice (of course store bought works too!)

- 1 1/2 ounces vodka (I used Svedka)

- 1/2 ounce triple sec

- Splash lemon juice

- Mint for garnish

How to make it happen:

Step 1: Combine all ingredients.

Step 2: Pour over ice & garnish.

Step 3; Enjoy!

Anyone else having unseasonably warm weather in their area?

Thanks Wisconsin, for being so gorgeous!

TAKE A SIP: NOT-SO KIDDIE COCKTAIL

Today's post is the easiest- but sometimes the simplest are the best, ya know?

I grew up loving Kiddie Cocktails- some of my favorite memories of my grandpa were hanging out with him at the country club drinking ENDLESS kiddie cocktails. I mean endless. Grandparents are great at spoiling their grandkids, right?

What you need to make it happen:

-  1/2 ounce grenadine

- 1.5 ounces cherry vodka

- Sprite

- Maraschino cherries

How to Make it Happen:

Um, put the grenadine. vodka, and sprite in a cup. Garnish with cherries. Boom. 

If you like it extra sweet, add more grenadine. You can never go wrong with grenadine!

I don't even think maraschino cherries are real food- but I don't care. Damn they're good.

Do you have a go-to easy cocktail?

I know, you can laugh at kiddie cocktails- but if you haven't had one in the last 20 years...give one another try!
