Hump Day Happy Hour: Wild Lemonade

Super simple  and you probably have all the ingredients on hand right?  Make your lemonade.  Pour some vodka in your glass, add the lemonade and then add a shot of pomegranate juice.

We are going from 2 naps to 1 nap and I might need 1 or 4 of these this week. RIP first nap.  Go easy on me kid.

Mix all this together in a pitcher with ice and enjoy!

It’s happy hour and you know what sucks the big one… I can’t partake! Well, damnation, I’m not gonna let a little bun in the oven keep me from sipping on a relaxing cocktail or shall I say MOCKtail… wwwhahahahaha.  I think I’ll start it off right with a Mock Mojito.

1 lime
1 oz. simple syrup
6 to 8 oz. soda water
Garnish with some lime wedges and mint sprigs to make yourself feel all fancy!

Hump Day Happy Hour: Kicked Up Arnold Palmer

On today’s menu is a hardcore Arnold Palmer.  Do we all know what that is? Half tea half lemonade….except we are using sweat tea flavored vodka!  VERY southern courtesy of us southern tipsy girls! Enjoy!

Hump Day Happy Hour: Red Beer

My hubby likes to call this our “Sunday Drink” because we typically drink these on lazy Sunday afternoons…it gives the day a nice kick…

  1. Mix equal parts beer and bloody mary mix (or tomato juice)
  2. Add a squeeze of lime
  3. Add a dash of salt and pepper

Enjoy, and keep thinking…the weekend is almost here!!!

Hump Day Happy Hour: WINE!

You know, some happy hours just need to be wine. No mixing drinks and what not, just pour me a glass–quick fix!  I, myself, am a pinot grigio drinker.  Voga Italia pinot grigio can be found at your grocery store ladies.  I don’t know much about wine and I’m no connoisseur that’s for sure.  But I do know this…it’s like $8 and I LIKE IT!

Hump Day Happy Hour: Patty’s Snow Cone

I’m going to introduce to a drink that a BFF of my parents swears by…mix equal parts Big Red with Malibu Rum and you get a drink that tastes EXACTLY like a snow cone. So if you’re ready to re-live a childhood favorite, with an adult twist, this is the perfect drink! 

Thanks for sharing your drink with us Patty!

Hump Day Happy Hour: Cherry Limeade Extreme!!!!

I recently had this one ladies and gents and I’ll tell you why it’s “extreme”. There is a high probability that you will be EXTREMEly intoxicated after consumption due to the fact that you won’t realize there is any alcohol in this. But, boy o boy, it’s mighty tasty!

Mix 1 part vodka, 1 part cherry limeade and 1 part Sprite. Ta-da!

Hump Day Happy Hour: Jack & Ginger

Ok, let me just say this…I hate whiskey with the fury of a thousand blazing suns. It tastes like band-aids in my opinion.  True story.  But I’m telling you…I tried this on our last Mexico trip at the insistence of the bartender and I do really like it.  The interwebs tell me to mix 2 oz Jack with 10 oz Ginger and go forth.
