PostHeaderIcon Thirsty Thursday: Pink Drinks

Unfortunately, last week's “research” didn't go so well, because the bartender didn't have Hpnotiq to make the drink with. However, I did learn something very useful. As long as you have a good “mixologist”, they can match ANY drink to the exact color you're looking for. The lesson I learned, is find a drink that's already in the color category you're going for, then have your bartender make it your signature color.

That being said, I thought I'd mix it up for you today and take a look at some pink drinks. First up, the classic Cosmopolitan:



Next, a cute pink drink that looks like it could quench your thirst at a hot summer southern wedding:



And last, but not least, our featured drink this week, the X Rated Summer:



1.5 oz X-Rated Fusion Liqueur
2 oz Watermelon Juice
4 Basil leaves
0.5 oz Meyer lemon juice

Muddle fresh basil, lemon and watermelon. Add ice, X-Rated Fusion and shake. Strain into champagne flute and top with dry sparkling wine or soda

If you have any "signature drinks" to suggest, please leave your recepie in the comment section below.

Buckle up! (But take a taxi!)

Awfully "pink" for the macho men that will be attending your wedding. You know, this collection of beer-bellies from the home of the King of Beers?

Oh, and don't forget your pirate roots! Where's the rum? Floribean wedding = Mojitos, Jamaican Lizards, Yellow Birds, Rum Runners, Cuba Libre, and Mojitos.
