Oh, we’re getting fancy now—because when your 22-year-old asks for a Lemon Drop, Momma doesn’t just pour… she delivers a whole moment.

Here’s the sparkle-in-a-glass she got:

1.25 oz vodka
0.5 oz fresh lemon juice
0.5 oz simple syrup

Shake it like you’re shaking off the drama, then pour over ice and serve with a sugar-rimmed glass because—obviously—we’re extra like that.
She asked for a shot, but I gave her an experience.

Okay, so I was hesitant about making this. I mean I love vodka and I love pickles but putting them together… ?

Turns out, it was really good! I’ve made another one since 😂

How to make a Dirty Pickle Martini:

2oz vodka
1oz dill (has to be dill) pickle juice
0.5oz dry vermouth
2 dashes orange bitters

Some say shake and some say stir but if you want it colder than I found shaking works best.

Pour into your preferred glass and enjoy!

Would you try a pickle martini? 🥒

Cheers y’all!

We finally got to try @osterialucahsv this past Monday because it was my birthday and it did NOT disappoint!

The food was delicious! The service was fantastic! We weren’t even going to get drinks but after looking at the menu we had to try them and they were amazing!

We ate so much we had zero room for dessert! We will definitely be going back!

Shown in photos:

Drinks - Vanilla Old Fashioned & Italian Whiskey Sour

Appetizer - Spicy Cacio e Pepe Flatbread

Lunch - Rigatoni Alla Vodka and Cavatelli with Lamb Sausage & Rabe

I recommend it all! If you haven’t been go try it right now!

While I am drinking this amazing wine this evening I did taste my Hubby’s Rebel bourbon and was very pleasantly surprised. Very good! I would recommend this, for sure.

8/10 👍🏻

Bourbon Sunset Sour

2oz bourbon
0.75oz lemon juice
0.5oz orange juice
0.75oz simple syrup
.25oz grenadine for garnish

Mix all ingredients but the grenadine in a shaker with some ice and give it a good shake. Strain into a glass with ice.
Slowly pour the grenadine along the sides of the glass so it settles at the bottom, creating a sunset effect.

Cheers y’all! 🥃

I used to love going out. Now I just want to chill at home on Friday night with my Hubby making cocktails that don’t cost $20 a pop 😁

No idea what this is called but it’s amazing! We should be lying on a beach somewhere with this one. 🍹

The egg option will make this cocktail $35 per drink 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

Seriously though, I’m not a fan of eggs (unless they are in brownies) BUT this drink was awesome! Thanks to @eaglerarebourbon 🥃

9/10 👍🏻

2oz Bourbon

3/4oz Lemon juice

1/2oz agave syrup

2 dashes Angostura bitters

1 Egg white

*shake dry for 15 seconds. Shake with ice for 10 seconds. Strain over king cube. Garnish with cherry or lemon peel. Smoke if you want a Smokey Bourbon Sour 💨

This Highlander Cherry Sour has recently become my favorite! It’s made with scotch BUT if you want to make it with bourbon I say go for it because it’s just as good. Although then you’d have to call it a Southern Cherry Sour 😂

This Balvenie 12 year is perfect for it!

Highland Cherry Sour

2oz scotch
0.5oz cherry syrup
0.5oz lemon juice
0.25oz agave nectar
2 dashes of bitters

Shake all ingredients with ice and serve! Garnish with a lemon twist or cherry if you prefer

I’m ready for summer drinks! 🍹

I doubled the recipe for these 10oz martini glasses which are in my Amazon storefront. I absolutely love them!

Sunset Martini

2oz vodka
1oz triple sec
1/2oz lemon juice
1/2 grenadine

Put vodka, triple sec, & lemon juice in a shaker with ice and give it a good shake shake…

Pour into your preferred drinking glass then slowly pour the grenadine in giving it this pretty layered effect.

Stir to mix (I know it’s pretty but don’t skip this part) and ENJOY!

Tag me if you make one!

Cheers! 🥂

Hubby and I decided to go out last night and we finally hit up Baker & Able at 106 Jefferson and it was awesome! Great views from the rooftop & the service was awesome as well. They definitely have some unique drink selections.

Next up we got dinner at The Poppy & Parliament for the first time as well and it did NOT disappoint. We started with frog legs and crab cakes, both were pretty good but the star of the show was the fish and chips! I was very happily surprised. We will be going back soon!

It’s always a fun time in Downtown Huntsville and you’re never lacking in food options 😁

I’m making a Limoncello Cranberry Spritz. Is that what it’s really called? I don’t know but we’re going with it. Plus, I’ve got to get rid of this limoncello 😂

Add to shaker with ice then shake
Top it off with Prosecco
Enjoy!
