 Happy Hump Day!!!

Shake It Up.

Wishing the weekend wasn't over? No worries! Nothing fixes a case of the Mondays like sipping on a pretty little cocktail (or two)! Here are some delicious cocktails that I hope will brighten up your Monday!!! Enjoy =)

{Raspberry Lemon Drop}

1 1/2 oz cirtrus vodka (suggested Ketel One Citroen)
3/4 oz Triple Sec
1/2 oz Chambord Liqueur
1 oz Sweet & Sour mix
Juice from two lemon wedges
lemon twist & sugar for rimming glass, optional

     If desired, rub a lemon wedge around the rim of a martini glass and dip in sugar to coat the rim. In metal mixing tin, fill with ice, add vodka, triple sec, Sweet & Sour and juice from two lemon wedges. Shake thoroughly and strain into chilled martini glass. Pour Chambord down the center of the drink for a layered effect (red bottom, yellow/white up top). Garnish with a lemon twist if desired.


{Stiletto}
1 1/4 oz. Right Gin
3/4 oz. pomegranate liqueur
2 oz. pomegranate blueberry juice 1/4 oz. blueberry syrup
3 dashes of blood orange bitters
2 lime wedges (squeezed)
1 oz. sparkling wine
Strawberries and blueberries, for garnish

Shake all ingredients except sparkling wine with cubed ice, pour into a highball glass filled with fresh ice, and top with sparkling wine. Garnish with sliced strawberries and blueberries.

{Grapefruit Blood Orange Cocktail}

1 1/2 oz. pink grapefruit vodka (I like Belvedere)

3 oz. fresh squeezed grapefruit juice

1/2 oz. fresh squeezed lime juice

3 oz. fresh squeezed blood orange juice

Juice your grapefruit, blood oranges and lime. Fill a shaker with ice and combine vodka, grapefruit juice and lime juice. Shake it up and pour into a glass filled with ice. Top with fresh squeezed blood orange juice and a blood orange slice for garnish.

Love is in the hAIR.

Red Wedding Bliss.

In lieu of Valentine’s Day, I find it only appropriate to share some gorgeous red wedding ideas with y’all! I mean, come on…nothing says passion like the color red! Incorporating red in weddings is always a solid choice—and for many reasons. Not only does red scream romance, elegance and love, but the color can be used in any season! Pair it with blues and pinks for the spring, or va-va-voom it up with dark purples in the fall or winter for a sexy affair! I hope you enjoy this pretty, pretty color inspiration =)
