Happy #FuzzyFriday to all my loves out there! Time to celebrate life, celebrate that we ARE alive, celebrate the sunshine, celebrate the unconditional love from our pets, and of course, celebrate our own WINS! Because it's so many things, big or small, for us to toast to. Today's cocktail is my own concoction. I whipped it up and it turned out SO good. If you follow my drinks and stock your bar with some of the liquors I've used in the … [Read more...]

Tis the season for fall cocktails. Officially into November, we're in full swing of the scents and flavors of pumpkin pie, apple pie, sugar and spices and everything oh so nice.

Fireball Apple Slushie 1 c. ice 1 c. apple cider 1/4 c. Fireball In a … [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...]
Fuzzy Friday: Baileys Nespresso
It got cold like in the BLINK of an eye this week, and it felt really pretty good actually. But it was an unexpected feeling, being always in the warm and heat in Oklahoma. And I'm naturally always cold. So today as I was coming up for a cocktail for you, I needed something to keep me warm and toasty, and something easy. In comes this sweet little thing I whipped up for you, the Baileys Nespresso. Lot's to share but I'll get to it next … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Mexican Martini
Have you ever had a drink that left you feeling ICK, an experience that you had a LITTLE more than you can handle and now you're scarred for life? LOL! That's the case with margaritas and me. I can't do them any more. Bad college experience left a real bad taste in my mouth let's just say! I had more than I could handle in a short period of time. No bueno. Hence why you see very few margarita-ish cocktails here. I really just can't do … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Mojito Slush
Keeping it real, I've been MIA. Have you noticed? The past few weeks have been SO crazy... but, I have to really truly keep it real, which is living On Purpose, and that means sometimes SHIFTING what I'm doing. We'll get to that in a bit. Do you toast to yourself? Do you celebrate all that you do? All of the little things that can be challenging in life? Or perhaps really big wins and goals you've achieved? I'm not talking about being … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Cranberry Candy Splash
You've heard the phrase "try before you buy", well I feel that way when it comes to food and drink. I want to hear if something is good or bad before I try it. So if it's yukky, you'll be sure I will NOT be posting it. Even if it LOOKS good but TASTES bad, it won't be here. Pinky promise! So with that being said, I had something else lined up for you today, and I made it before "making it" like I do for the blog, and it was awful! Like … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Frose’
I don't make complicated drinks too often because I don't have time for complicated things in life. I mean, really, who does? Not me! So as I've been hearing about the latest rage in the cocktail world, the Frose', which is fancy for Frozen Rose', I was like well.... I don't have a slushy machine that the restaurants have.... I don't have an ice cream machine because it was one of those gadgets I didn't think I'd ever use... But it turns … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Club Special Twist
We're in the dog days of summer and that calls for something refreshing, light, and classic: the club special. It's made with some simple ingredients that most people have on hand... except for me! HA! I didn't have Sprite, but I DID have Fresca. (wink!) Who doesn't have Sprite but has Fresca???? Me. ... so anyways this has a refreshing twist to the traditional country club favorite. Club Special Twist 1 part … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Donut Cocktail
Fun fun fun! What a way to kick off the weekend.. National Donut Day! Does it get better than this? I think not! So in honor of National Donut Day, let's us grownups feel like a kid in a grown up way, and have a Donut Cocktail. What do you think? This isn't complicated and is always FUN to enjoy and fun to make. Honestly, anything with sprinkles is fun! Donut Cocktail 1.5-2 oz cake-flavored … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Limon Fraise
Everywhere I look at the store I'm seeing strawberries in abundance, and big beautiful ones at that. So I decided to take advantage of these sweet, fresh, yummy, healthy (if we can make ourselves feel better that our cocktails are healthy, why not??? HA!) fruits to include in our drinks? And I love nothing more than lemon and berries. All kinds. Lemon and blueberries, lemon and raspberries, and this week, I've created something with lemon … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Income Tax Martini
April 15th is a day that we can all agree that involves some moaning, some heartburn, some headaches, and usually not a lot of fun. We all know what it means. It means let's give a chunk of money to Uncle Sam. So today's cocktail, The Income Tax Martini, (clever, huh?) is a strong one. Real strong. Good but strong! This classic gin martini has a fruity twist to it. Income Tax Martini 2 ounces gin 1/4 … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Sandy Beaches
Temperatures are rising. And it makes me think of vacation. We've booked our tropical getaway for the summer, but there's much to be done with work until then. So I can't really think too much about it, but still, with the heat, I'm kind of in a tropical mood. Some of my favorite flavors are those of pineapple, coconut, and Midori. So putting it all together, I have this concoction for you. I call it Sandy Beaches. … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: French 75
I love to hear from you. Be it on my Facebook, on my Instagram, and even here below on the comments, I LOVE to hear from you. And it's because of one of my followers that inspired this week's cocktail, the French 75. Last week I shared the French Martini, and that spurred on the inspiration for this yummy drink. It's perfect as an alternative to a mimosa, a cocktail to serve at a shower, and a refreshing fizzy refreshment with the tingle to … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: French Martini
This weekend is about the love... Love is in the air. Valentine's Day is about the love, and something about the French and Paris makes me think of love and romance. It's not about being with a boyfriend or girlfriend or lover. Let's think of it as this cup runneth over abundance of joy in our hearts, whether you have a partner, maybe it's for your kids, maybe it's just the love of life. Maybe it's for vacations to places like these. … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Cake Mix
If you haven't figured out by now, I love cake batter, birthday cake, cake anything related. So sharing today's recipe is easy for me for a couple of reasons. The first being it's so tasty. {huge grin} The second reason is it's 2 ingredients. Love that. The third reason is it's light. Yup. Light as in light on the calories. I'm really trying to honker down on calories in vs calories out thing. Smart choices have to be a part of my … [Read more...]
Fuzzy Friday: Irish Coffee
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...]
It’s FINALLY HERE!
I can't believe the day has come! It's F R I D A Y! Now, I know I'm not the ONLY one around here who has stuff going on. We ALL have it. But doesnt it feel like sometimes we just have MORE s**t than other times? Well, folks, this seems to have been one of those weeks for me. I mean, here I am listening to my son sleeping and I hear this hard biting noise, as my husband checks on him, finds a POOL of blood (not kidding!) on his pillow, … [Read more...]
