Blue Hawaiian Tropical Bucket Cocktail
Anyone else dreaming of warm weather and sunny days? I have a case of the Winter Blues and am thinking back to a fun summer weekend where we made “bucket drinks” to enjoy on a pontoon ride. If you aren’t familiar with “bucket drinks”, they are cocktails made in plastic buckets…. like a jumbo, fruity cocktail. And they are delicious! We made Blue Hawaiian Tropical Bucket Cocktails. As the name states, they are tropical… and full of booze and fruit juice and garnished with some fun fruit, candy, and glitter. We actually made them multiple weekends in a row after finding the perfect combination of each ingredient, and let me tell you, I’m craving a pontoon ride, sunshine, and a jumbo bucket cocktail right about now 😊 The recipe can be found here. You will need 32 oz plastic beverage buckets. You can find them on Amazon (click here) or perhaps a local party supply store. Make sure to wash them before … Continue reading

Diabolical Drinks
I recently posted a blog for Halloween food called Ghouls, Ghosts, & Goblins Alike but now it’s time to talk cocktails! I think cocktails can be the highlight of any party or holiday gathering and are often overlooked. Most people tend to opt for beer or wine, something that’s simple to serve and comes in a variety of flavors. I like to explore cocktails that are on theme to the event, easy to make, and don’t require a lot of ingredients to prepare. That’s what I have for you today. WITCHES BREW COCKTAIL This cocktail is sweet, citrusy, and festive. You probably have most of the ingredients on hand already but if not, they are pretty standard cocktails ingredients, so they are worth the purchase. I admittedly thought the cocktail would be more purple in color due to the combination of grenadine and blue curacao, but it actually turned out to be blacker in color. To be honest, that’s OK … Continue reading

Spring Cocktails
Thank goodness for cocktails! Having a cocktail can be like a little vacation or perhaps a way to relax after a hard day of work. This time of year, it’s a way to say goodbye to winter and hello to spring as we look forward to all the snow melting, flowers starting to bloom, and warmer days. I’ve been working on some fun cocktails and hope you will continue reading to join me on this experience 😊 I chose to garnish each cocktail with an edible flower. I won’t talk about the process for me to obtain the edible flowers but know it was not easy during the winter when I was working on the recipes, and I am forever grateful for the Festival Foods employees that came to my rescue. If you do happen to luck out and find edible flowers at your local grocery store, I highly recommend purchasing some. They don’t taste like much but make … Continue reading

FitVine
I’ve been excited to write this post since I originally had the idea! Most of my posts so far have been about food but why stop there? I thought I could write about wine…delicious wine 🙂 For the winos and fitness enthusiasts out there, this is something you’ll want to try! It’s called FitVine and is considered “clean wine”. Don’t worry; I’ll explain what I mean by “clean wine” later. It started with 3 friends that wanted to create a wine that fit their very athletic and constant moving lifestyles…so they created FitVine. There are 5 kinds of FitVine available, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc. These wines are very clean tasting and have a lot of flavor but still have the alcohol content you would expect from a glass of wine. They are low in sugar and low in carbs so you don’t feel as … Continue reading
