Frrooozeeen Hot Chocolate!

I had to revisit this sensational beverage... I just had to.

RECIPE:
(6) 1/2 oz types of your favorite chocolate (it's ok to mix and match)
2 tsp hot chocolate mix
1 1/2 tbsp sugar
1 1/2 cups milk
3 cups of ice

Chop and melt chocolate until smooth. Add hot chocolate mix and sugar to melted chocolate, until blended. Pour 1/2 cup of milk into melted chocolate mixture.









To a blender add ice, remaining milk and chocolate mixture. Blend on high speed until thick and creamy (about 2-3 minutes). Makes approximately 2 drinks.

Sunset Mai Tai, to the rescue

Today was a pretty stressful day. I've been "disagreeing" with a family member on life decisions and all I wanted to do today was clean and be left alone. Of course with 3 kids, and an entire apartment building to run, that's NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!

In addition to the normal day-to-day we had a leak in the p-trap under the kitchen sink. Nothing to stress about you say.... well, just keep trying to wash dishes while the water drains directly onto the floor. Just put a bowl/pot underneath to catch the water right? Yeah... right!

RECIPE:

1 1/2 oz rum
1 oz grenadine
Mai Tai mix(pick your favorite brand... or just ask your local alcoholic which one to buy)

Fill a tall glass (or whatever glass you have) with ice.
Add rum, grenadine and fill up the rest of the glass with mai tai mix.
Garnish with pineapples, cherries, or other fruit (except banana.... ha!)

Enjoy!

Lemon Drop Martini

Recipe:
Newman's Virgin Lemonade (3 shots)
Baker's sugar (1 tsp)
Vodka (I like Skyy) (1 shot)
Lemon (1 tsp juice)
Ice (however much to fill up martini shaker)

Fill martini shaker with ice. Fill rest of ingredients. Shake, pour in a sugar lined martini glass. Enjoy!
