Summertime Splash

Day 362

Summertime Splash

5 shots out of 5

Peach and lemonade make this cocktail the perfect mix for a warm summer day...or night.

I have been loving these nice warm days!  

They make me want to sit outside and warm my skin and drink cocktails all day!  

Since I enjoyed my Summertime Breeze that I had created the other day so much, I needed to find out how it would taste if I amended it a little bit.  I guess I am feeling adventurous.

I gave today's cocktail 5 shots out of 5.  

Making this cocktail with vodka goes to show that it does not matter whether you put in rum or vodka, you still can not taste the alcohol.  

Which means that this cocktail is one of those sneaky cocktails where you do not think you are drinking too much alcohol and then BAM......you are feeling pretty darn good!  

I would think you can make either version of this cocktail ahead of time in a pitcher (without ice) and then when it's time to serve it, stir it up WELL (to get the puree mixed in) before you pour some in a shaker with ice.

Here is my recipe for Summertime Splash:

• 1 oz vodka
• 1 oz peach puree
• 1 oz lemonade
• 1/4 oz grenadine

In a shaker, add ice and all of the ingredients above.  Shake and dump everything into a short cocktail glass and enjoy!

Here's to another..amended.....scrumptious self-created cocktail!

Summertime Breeze

Day 360

Summertime Breeze

5 shots out of 5

It's Saturday!  

It is a beautiful day out which makes me long for the summer.  

Since it is such a nice day I decided to create a nice cocktail to go along with it.  When I am done with today's blog I am going to make another one and go sit out in the backyard and enjoy it.

I gave today's cocktail 5 shots out of 5.  

Boy is this a refreshing cocktail.  

The lemonade and peach puree go SO well together it's amazing!  

The scary thing about it is the fact that I do not taste the alcohol inside of it.....what.......so......ever!  

This would be a good cocktail to have at a summer barbecue for sure.  It's a really amazing color to which in my eyes makes it taste that much better as well.  

Even though I only have 6 more cocktails to go after today to complete my year, I am not stopping there.  

I won't be posting each and every day, but I will still be here so if you have any favorite cocktail recipes that you would like me to try, please send them into me.
