Winter Solstice Shots
These were originally titled as “Harvest Moon Shots”, but as always, I was a tad late sharing and we did these again after the Bears lost another game to the Detroit Lions …. Told sissy that we had to rename them, and at that time, it WAS the 2nd day of winter! And here we…

The Charming Dirty Snowman
It’s cold here … and we get a little bit of snow every few days but nothing is sticking really just yet. BUT we are still doing these whenever snow shows up! Warning – these Charming Dirty Snowmen can be sneaky and come back and bite you! 1 shot of vodka (we used Titos)1/2 shot…

Mimosa Sunday!
Sunday mornings are a little different around here … we don’t get up early and go to church or out to breakfast. I’m not sure just how it started. Pretty sure it was after Mark passed since I was kind of lost for a while there with no routine and a new environment and was…

Whiskey Sours
Whiskey sours got a bad rap for a while there, all because of the sour mix. There are favorite restaurants that I will not order this because they use crappy sour mix. So I set out to make the perfect whiskey sour myself! And guess what? It wasn’t that hard. We are not talking about…
