Hump Day Happy Hour: Lazy Sangria

June 16, 2010 by

My hubby and I go to the grocery store (HEB in our parts) Sunday afternoons. The reason for this, aside from the obvious (buying groceries), we go for the SAMPLES and the WINE. We taste tested this recipe this past Sunday and LOVED it. LOVED it so much that we bought the wine that you use to make it and nabbed the recipe.

1 bottle Finca El Origen Torrontes
Sliced Fruit (oranges, lemons, limes)
1/2 can Frozen Orange Juice Concentrate
1/2 bottle Tropical Fruit Sparking Water

Mix together and serve over ice.

Hump Day Happy Hour: Wineade

June 9, 2010 by

My friend and Tipsy reader, L Dubya, gave me this great Hump Day Happy Hour drink over Memorial Day weekend:

  • Choose any type of Citrus wine that you can find. ( L Dubya suggested the lime wine from Maydelle Winery.)
  • Add a splash of grenadine.

Voila, a refreshing drink that rivals anything you can get at Sonic!

I have a combo that I bet most of you won’t want to refuse. It’s chocolate WINE. I kid you not and I have a very reliable source that tells me it will knock your socks off. Have at it, folks. And have an extra glass for me!

Hump Day Happy Hour Meets The Tipsy Wedding Project

May 19, 2010 by

The Tipsy Wedding Project with a twist so to speak. For today’s Hump Day Happy Hour we are going to help Christen decide on a signature drink for her wedding. She wants something vodka based, so all the Tipsy girls went in search of the perfect drink for the perfect wedding!

  1. Court-The 8 oz Twister: 2 oz Vodka, 2 oz Fresh Lime Juice, 2 oz Fresh Lemon Juice, 2 oz Pure Grape Juice. I think this could be made on a large scale, since all parts are equal and just could pour in the highball glasses and BAM, Twisted.
  2. Der-Cranapple Martini: 1 oz vodka, 1.5 oz. apple pucker and a splash of cranberry juice. Both of those fruits make me think of fall and make me think this drink is probably delish. If I wasn’t with child, I’d be making one right now.
  3. Sarah-Custom Drink, Name TBD: 1 oz. Vodka, 1.5 oz. Pomegranate Juice, 1 tsp elderflower liqueur, 1 splash of champagne, and garnish with an inexpensive fall flower that your florist can suggest for you.
  4. AK-“Ed’s Last Name”-tini: 1 Shot Vodka, 1 Shot of Orange Juice, 1 Shot of Apple Juice, 1 Splash of Cranberry Juice. Garnish with cranberries.

Tell us what you think?  Vote! Or give Christen some other ideas in the comments!

Hump Day Happy Hour: More Wine

May 12, 2010 by

I know we’ve done wine before on Hump Day but I wanted to share my latest fav in terms of Pinot Grigio and its called Crane Lake. It’s very light and it’s very cheap.

I started getting this wine at my local sushi place and loved it…so much so that I asked the waiter if he’d bring me the bottle so I could take a picture of the label so that I could go to the liquor store and get a bottle for myself.  Well, of course our liquor store (I’m talking to you Specs Liquor Warehouse) didn’t have any in stock, but asked if I’d like to order some and I said HELL YES I DO!  How many bottles do you ask? I’ll take 6 please.  One of which Court consumed all on her own.  It’s good stuff I tell ya! Go have a glass or 4.

This week’s HDHH is a throwback to one of my fave movies as kid, Cocktail! On a side note, isn’t it funny to watch movies that you  LOVED as a kid and as an adult you actually see how utterly inappropriate they actually were for you to be watching???? Just putting it out there…

  • 2 shots of pineapple juice
  • 1 shot of gin
  • 1 tbs. of grenadine
  • Add seltzer to top off the glass
  • Garnish with limes and a cherry

  • Three Cups of Pineapple Juice
  • Half Gallon of Rainbow Sherbet
