Hello, weekend! It's time for #FuzzyFriday! Today I'm sharing a twist on a traditional classic, the Tom Collins. I'm incorporating fresh basil into a homemade syrup to bring on that fresh flavor. I personally love to make my simple syrups at home, and this was so refreshing and delicious. I always keep fresh basil on my windowsill in a coffee mug of all places! It's kinda goofy but I don't mind it. … [Read more...]

Fuzzy Friday: The Club Special
Ok first all I can say is WHEW what a week. I think all of us can say that in one way, shape or form. I had the best intentions of sharing some great things and when technical difficulties hit, sometimes we can't do anything about it. When things are out of our control, they're just out of our control. But, needless to say, you're still going to get all those posts. Just after today! So we're technically wrapping up summer this weekend … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Banana Split Cocktails
Those national days of the week got me like :D. I really don't pay attention to them because most seem to be outrageous, but I do like to have fun with them as they can apply to what we do here. Today happens to be TWO different days. Today is National Whiskey Sour Day, and it is also National Banana Split Day. What's a girl to do? Well since I've already shared the Whiskey Sour once HERE, I thought we'd have fun and have Banana Split … [Read more...]

Turn any drink into a fun fruity drink any time you want by having these ready to go on hand. I made mine literally as I cook, the Greek way. No measurements.

Sangria Cubes Crisp Red Wine Strawberries Blackberries Peaches Sugar In typical Greek style, I did … [Read more...]

Happy Happy Hour, TGIF, #FuzzyFriday, and bring momma a drink NOW! In case you've wondered where in the world have I been, I'll share with you in a nutshell! So, for those of you who don't know, my oldest child has a business of her own (of which I'm her partner and "momager), and it's that time of year again. Showtime. Literally. We attend every summer and winter. Well, it's that time again. The only difference this summer is we have 2 … [Read more...]

Fuzzy Friday: The Sparkling Pineapple
I think something's in the water. Lots of my bloggy momma friends are about to become mommas... if they already aren't. Like I'm seeing everywhere I turn on some of my darling gal pals accounts on Instagram a huge baby boom. Have you noticed too? So today I thought I'd make something for my lil mommas! Let's clarify that this can be easily tweaked to provide a little more enjoyment to those of us whose reproduction factories have … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Rise, Shine and Sparkle
I don't know if you've noticed but I've been doing some champagne and prosecco posts a lot lately. Maybe because I feel I have a lot to toast to. Maybe because I feel like life is effervescing at the moment. It's no coincidence. If you work hard, if you are open to growth, if you choose to do things that make you happy, it just happens. IT happens. The magic. And so we shine and sparkle more than we have. And this is why I chose … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: The Daiquiri
Simple, sophisticated, and a less is more kind of a mentality. Isn't that what we're seeing all around us? Less is more? Minimalist? Meet that sense of style, but in a drink. This isn't your tropical frozen daiquiri delight that you drink poolside as you hear from the cabana bar "I Shot The Sheriff"! HA! Nope, this is a sleek, elegant, simple modern day daiquiri. PIN it! The Daiquiri 1/2 oz sugar syrup 1 … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Lady Grace
Some people we "meet" through our experiences in various places and stages in our lives. This beautiful gal, "Lady Grace" and I connected way back when I first began blogging, and she was a relatively newbie as well. Her name was so fitting, she was and still is a lovely lady, in the true definition of the word, and always full of grace. She has since stopped blogging as she felt it wasn't her passion and really wanted to simply enjoy life … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Black Cherry Fizz
So my kids were home this week... Long story, our school hosted a big huuuuge arts festival, with 3500 kids here from other schools. So school was out all week in preparation for this major event. Thank you second spring break, getting dentist done, trying to be productive while being disrupted, but it's all good. Needless to say, momma needs a drink. Survival mode. And in case you're wondering why I haven't been blogging QUITE as much … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: The Thunderstorm
Being in Oklahoma and that spring is upon us, I find it only appropriate that The Thunderstorm is a cocktail we need to have. One, because it's part of our daily conversations, two, we actually may need one of these to help us get through our hormonal weather, and three, we say things like Hook Echo and Wall Cloud on a regular basis. People in other states most likely would have NO clue what we're talking about. The … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Fresh Air
Fresh Air. Like a bit of Fresh Air. That's what this reminds me of. We're turning the bend on a new season. Not only is it a new season entering spring, but it's also a new season perhaps in your life. A new chapter awaits. For me, something I've dreamed of for so long is going to be a reality soon. I've been working SO hard, late nights, as I give my 1000% to this passion and dream of mine for you. So yes, it's a breath of fresh air … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Spring Forward
This is your friendly reminder that we lose an hour of sleep this weekend. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news! But, what it does mean is we have MORE daylight. We're going to spring forward. In the light of the shift of the light, I created my own concoction with a citrus blend juice, a tropical vodka, and fresh strawberry puree. I also wanted to create a fun look in the cocktail's presentation, the layering of the fruit puree with the … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Birthday Cake Martini and Birthday Reflections
It's birthday week in my life... March 1st, my son had a birthday, and it's the same day my daughter launched her business. That was four years ago. So these two had some milestones this week. Tomorrow is mine. I celebrate another year older. Time REALLY does fly. As my young brain was photographing this cocktail, it was as I was almost done that I noticed the camera said NO SD CARD. So... this is the … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: The OP Stiletto
I need a grown up night to celebrate, with adults, with cocktails. I've been working my hiney off, and I feel the need to dress up, get some high heels on, and have some fun. Meet my concoction, The OP Stiletto. It's a bit sweet with the Disaronno, a bit strong with Bourbon, and fizzed up with some club soda and half a lime. SO good. A bit strong. JUST what you need when you've worked your ass off and you need to major unwind. The OP … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: White Cranberry Martini PLUS a Giveaway
As the holidays are going to creep upon us before we know it, I thought I'd share this one to get the festivities going. Don't think of this as a Christmas only drink, but because it has cranberry in it, I generally think of fall. And I thought it would be cute with my GIVEAWAY item, too! {wink!} I enjoy serving up drinks that not only taste good but look good as well. And I thought with the floating cranberries, this made for a cute drink … [Read more...]
