welcome back from the holiday excitement! hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. today i'm sharing a cocktail with you that i mixed up myself. i may not be a mixologist, but i think i have a winner here.
as a frequent entertainer. i like to make something special and specific for each occasion. usually, it's something super simple. so when sierra mist asked me to mix up a yummy cocktail, i thought i would step it up... for me at least:)
i created a "raspberry mist"! kind of a spin off of a margarita using similar ingredients. adding the sierra mist in gave it a more crisp and refreshing taste though. here's what you'll need:
[tequila, i used this, a tequila liqueur, so tasty]
[cointreau]
[triple sec]
[lime juice]
[frozen raspberries]
muddle about 5 frozen raspberries with 1 1/2 oz. tequila
add 1 oz. triple sec, 1 oz. cointreau, 1 oz. lime juice, shake it up...
before you pour, mix up some sugar and salt and dip the rim of your glass in it. i loved the sweet and salty flavor this added.
and finally...
top with about 3 oz. of sierra mist natural, drink and enjoy

mine is really super simple. use sierra mist or another light drink and put some type of cotton candy on top. it's cute and fun and perfect for all ages. just dip the cotton candy in the drink, eat, sip, enjoy.

ReplyDeleteMy favorite cocktail recipe is one I found a while back for a cocktail party I was attending and it is Hot Gold Apple Cider Punch and it is absolutely amazing! It’s here:

1/2 750ml bottle dark rum
1/2 750ml bottle Goldschlager cinnamon schnapps
4 cinnamon sticks
6 whole allspice
10 whole cloves
1 orange, sliced
Combine ingredients in a large saucepan, stir and cover.
Heat slowly to a boil, stirring occasionally.
Lower heat and allow to simmer for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally.
Transfer to insulated punch bowl and serve in mugs.
