Mixed Drink: Red White and Blue Shot

This is a shot that I made a lot during the 4th of July.  It's supposed to be a red, white, and blue drink but I don't know if that is supposed to be layered or not.  I did't make it layered so the color of the drink was purplish black, but the taste, the taste was amazing!  It's a very sweet shot, but it does the trick.  

Ingredients: 

1 oz Blue Curacao 

1 oz Vodka 

1/2 oz grenadine 

Directions: 

Put the blue Curacao and vodka into a shaker, shake.  

Put into shot glass and top off with grenadine.  

Enjoy!

Mixed Drink: Pink Raspberry Margarita

I’ve had a bottle of Tequila Rose in my fridge for as long as I can remember, so I went out onto the internet in search of a drink with Tequila Rose in it.  What makes this drink a margarita is the tequila and the rimming with sugar.  I’ve always had margaritas with salt and typically frozen.  I’ve never had a creamy one.  Now I have. 

This drink is delicious!  It’s sweet but has a small tequila taste.  I’m so glad that I found it!

Ingredients:

1 oz Tequila 

1 oz Tequila Rose 

½ oz Chambord 

2 ½ oz Cream 

Dash of Grenadine 

Sugar

Directions:

Pour all of the liquid ingredients into a shaker with ice and mix. 

Wet the rim of the glass with water and roll it in the sugar.

Pour the mix into the glass and serve. 

Options: Garnish with Raspberries.

Enjoy!

Mixed Drink: Ginger Lemon Summer Day:

A long time ago, my mom bought Lemoncello thinking it would be a nice drink, but when she got it, it was like drinking lemon pledge.   I’ve looked all over the internet trying to find a simple recipe that used it, and I just wasn’t really feeling the recipes.  So, I took it into my own hands to create my very own.  I didn’t really know what to call it, so I pulled from every which way.  Ginger, from the ginger ale, Lemon from the lemoncello, and summer day from the day I decided to make it. 

Ingredients:

1 oz Vodka 

2 oz Lemoncello

10 oz Ginger Ale 

1 tbsp Confectioner Sugar 

A splash of Grenadine.

Directions:

Add the vodka, lemoncello, and confectioner sugar to a glass full of ice.  Stir together until the sugar is dissolved.   (You can use a shaker if you please.)  Then top it off with the ginger ale.  Add a splash of grenadine and there you have it, Ginger Lemon Summer Day.  

Without Grenadine

With Grenadine

The grenadine is optional, but I feel it adds a sweeter push, and I didn’t use a full table spoon of confectioner sugar. 

Also, lemoncello is very,VERY, lemony.  I have also made this drink with just one oz of lemoncello, and it’s still delicious. 

Enjoy! 

If you make this tell me!  I’d like to know if it’s not just me who likes it.

Mixed Drink: Pinkeapple Upside down Cake

If you saw my other two recipe posts (Here and Here) then you would know that I when I find a recipe I like, I write it down into a notebook and when I get a chance I make it.  The book is mostly alcohol drinks, but that is only because I have been hoarding alcohol recipes for a while now.   I noticed that I had a can of pineapple juice left over from something else, so I decided to see if I had any recipes that used pineapple juice, and I did, Pineapple Upside-down Cake Shot.  

This is one of those recipes that you can make larger if you want; all you have to do is keep the parts even.   It is a lot better if you keep all of the ingredients supper cold, so using a shaker is best.  If you want it to be more aesthetically pleasing then wait to add the grenadine.  

If all 3 ingredients are shaken you’ll get an orange-y pink colored drink with a little bit of foam at the top.  If you keep the ingredients equal you’ll just taste the pineapple with a small kick at the end of vanilla.  It’s a very smooth drink, and like I said before you can double the ingredients to make it a bigger drink.   I gave this drink 3 out of 5 stars, and I would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a pineapple sort of drink.
