I don't know if it's because I'm trying to get back in the swing of things or not, but it seems I'm gravitating towards coffee (because of THIS post earlier this week...). Maybe it's my subconscious nudging me! Whatever it is, tis the season for cold weather drinks. We need something to warm us up, right? Well, here's a classic that's a no fail idea. For today's #fuzzyfriday I'm serving up Irish Coffee. I even got my … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: On The Rocks
I know #FuzzyFriday is mostly about the fun libations I love to share with you, and about celebrating those wins we've had through the week, but today I thought I'd do a little twist on this and talk about the glasses. I'm kinda keeping this theme of bars and barware. You can see my post from yesterday's bar carts HERE. It's all how you serve it up, right? (That's true in everything we do in life, right? {wink!}) Well today I'm … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: The Frenchy
I don't know why I'm feeling Frenchy, but I am. I took those pictures on vacation a couple of summers ago in Paris (pre fancy camera!). Yesterday I posted about the Parisian doors (see that HERE). Today I'm sharing a Parisian drink. The Frenchy. Clever, huh? I didn't make it up, but it DOES put good use out of that fancy pear vodka we used a few weeks ago, remember HERE? Well, with a simple change of one of the juices, bam, we have a whole … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: The Kansas City Cocktail
If you follow me on Instagram, you've probably seen my hashtags I use #spreadthelove , #sparklemaker and #ilovewhatido. Because I do believe in The Golden Rule and spreading the love, kindness, and making sparkles for others to shine. So, when these two DARLING chics from Kansas City with 5 O'Clock Fashionistas reached out to me to collaborate on a few cocktails for their series Coaster to Coaster, I couldn't resist! #pursesdownbottomsup SO … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: The Irish Relaxer
Spring is full of rainy days and lots of those days are kinda chilly, and this week was one of those weeks. One of these chilly rainy afternoons, I decided to make myself a cup of coffee because it just sounded good... note that I'm not a regular coffee drinker. And I didn't want it because I needed that burst of caffeine... I wanted it for that warm-me-up-fuzzy-feeling inside. So I made my coffee... then I was like hmmmm... lets throw in … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Kahlua Hot Chocolate
It's my belief that we are about to turn the corner and see some sunlight and warmer days ahead of us. After some late winter precipitation not normal for us Oklahoman's, I thought I'd share one last drink to keep us warm and cozy. If you're a chocoholic, this might be just the thing for you, too. Just a few ingredients is all you need to enjoy this simple drink for a chilly night. I'm serving up some Kahlua Hot … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Spring Wannabe
This Oklahoma weather has been so crazy, which is really by no surprise. We have freezing temps one day and then 70's the next, and throw in an earthquake to the mix. Oh what fun! Well, all of this hormonal weather is making me wish spring would just get here already. With March just around the corner, I am hopeful it will be here before we know it. So to celebrate the anticipation of spring and the upcoming weekend, I concocted this … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Chocolate Russian
It's still bitter cold out and so I'm in the mood for something to warm me up. Kinda like comfort food, but in the likes of a cocktail, because after all, it IS Friday, and that means, Fuzzy Friday time. Chocolate Russian 2 oz Kahlua 1 oz vodka hot cocoa Pour Kahlua and vodka into your mug of hot cocoa. Stir and enjoy. Nothing like hot cocoa by the fire to make you feel all cozy, and a little extra … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Super Bowl Drinks
It's that day again that we celebrate a week's worth of work and (hopefully) a few days of down time, catch up time, or whatever you want or need to do that you can't do Monday thru Friday. Because let's face it, I think most of us can agree, we live this GO GO GO life. So Fuzzy Friday it is again, but today, I'm sharing a drinky drink for a crowd. We all know one of the biggest food fests of the year will go down on Sunday, so I thought why … [Read more...]

Fuzzy Friday: Holiday Tipsy Spritzer
Being that this is the LAST Friday before Christmas, so I thought I'd share something refreshing that isn't just a cold weather cocktail, but it's a festive fresh drink for a holiday lunch or brunch. Before the internet, Southern Living was one of my magazines I subscribed to to get a bit of this and that for the home and food, and I loved them so much that I collected their cookbooks. I really should show you my collection sometime! Anyways, I … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Merry Christmint
Ok so here's the dealio. I think everyone is "BUSY" this time of year. Am I right? We have parties to go to, gifts to buy, cards that need to be addressed and mailed, baking, cooking, not to mention whatever else you have going on in your life. I pulled some thoughts for some festive drinks, part because I might serve this up to some friends coming over during the holidays, and part because I'm in MUCH need of a break and something with … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Blood Orange Blast
When you live OP, you prioritize everything you do. Sometimes things shift around and don't always go as planned. That's ok. We BREATHE and know being flexible is the best thing that we can be in life. This time of year, holiday parties and all the trimmings that go into it take front and center stage. Not to mention, when it rains it pours. In a good way! {I'll be sharing more on this in the coming weeks! wink!} So, what do we do when it … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Butterscotch Cocoa
I hope everyone had an wonderful Thanksgiving holiday, enjoying it with family, friends, resting, celebrating, whatever was best for you in your world. And today, I say let the festivities continue with a warm fuzzy cocktail. This was inspired by some yumminess I had at A Taste Of Western a few months ago. I HAD to recreate it, or at least come close to it! It's perfect after a long day of shopping in the brisk cool air, coming back home to … [Read more...]

Cocktails: Raspberry Spritzer Crush
Since today IS hump day, and if you're feeling kinda in a slump, AND if you're a cocktails kinda person, then this might get you out of your hump-day-slump. Truth being said, I'm not much of a drinker, even though a few drinks make me feel good especially in good company. But in all honesty, I really don't like the way my body reacts to them for the most part. I usually swell up and retain water or get headaches. No fun. And, I learned … [Read more...]
