The Day Finally Arrived!
I have been VERY frustrated with my phone for some time...today it got kicked to the curb. Got a new Droid Turbo today. One of the highlights...a 21 megapixel camera!! Toasted with a litchi martini. 













Had to go with a Moscow Mule later in the evening.

Ready for the weekend!

Moscow Mule
Had been missing this drink...hadn't had one for a while. Online today I came across the Stoli Ginger Beer and I managed to find it at the local liquor store. It was pretty good!

The iPad

Managed to make good use out of the iPad that Flemings uses for the wine list...under-lighting for my blueberry lemon drop martini!!

Family Camping...Begin!
Shortly after work today, I was picked up by my sister and nephews...we headed south to Eleven Mile Canyon for the family camping trip. Decided to fix one of my favorite drinks to get the long weekend underway.

Finally Friday!
Didn't have too much trouble selecting the drink for this evening!

"Eventful" Saturday
Due to the fact I'm still holding on to a cold, my nights have been filled with tossing, turning, and some crazy golf dreams. I unfortunately was unable to take advantage of a non-alarm morning. (I also couldn't decide on which photo to post...so I've shared them all.)

Up early, I decided to check out the local "re-opened" bakery and local coffee shop. Donuts looked great at the shop...not as impressive when I got them home. :(
I will say the coconut theme must imply that I'm in need of a beach & bubbles vacation...I miss my sharks!!



On my way home I finally saw the first bluebird in the neighborhood. Crappy picture, but good sign. (Yes...there is a male bluebird in the top of the tree.)

















Despite the cold, windy morning I figured it was about time to get my flower & veggie pots cleaned up from last summer. I am definitely looking forward to planting time.

We had some visitors this afternoon...crashing for a few hours, anxiously awaiting an offer on their house. As the day came to a close I had to decide which night cap to go with. Today I had to stick with my vodka. :)

Is it Friday Yet!?!?!
I have no idea why, but this has been one of the longest weeks EVER!! We were sitting at lunch yesterday commenting how it felt like a Saturday and we were at work! So to this I say...how can you really have a Moscow Mule without a copper cup!?!

Friday Night Drinks

Well, I was going to go with "Down and slightly-dirty" ;) tonight, but decided to make my first Friday night drink another new one...Lemon Cream Pie.

For my "office peep" Kanoi, here's the recipe:

1oz cake vodka

1/2oz whipped vodka

3/4oz Amaretto

1 1/2oz lemon juice

3/4oz simple syrup

Crushed graham crackers for the rim.

ENJOY!!

Cinna-Sugar Twist

After some conversation with my favorite office ladies, decided to give this flavor a try. Made the Cinnamon Snap: 1.5oz Cinna-Sugar Twist Vodka, 3oz Limeade, 2oz. ginger beer. Only put the vodka and limeade in your shaker.

I also made my own limeade (juice of 1 lime, 2TBSP + 2TSP sugar, & 2 C water.)

Turned out pretty good. I almost think it would make a better summer drink.

Also, for my Castle Rock peeps...you can find the ginger beer at Bubbles - far northeast corner near the other non-alcoholic beverages.
