Brunch Drinks

I love a good brunch. And more importantly the drinks!

First. The Ultimate. The Mimosa.

You really can't mess this one up. Buy some champagne. No need for Cristal, just a nice bubbly. Or sparkling wine.

Pour the champagne in first. Top with the same amount of chilled orange juice. Enjoy!

I like to use white wine glasses for a bigger mimosa ;) Also, if you don't like OJ just have a glass of bubbles and drop frozen raspberries or strawberries in the bottom of the glass. Yum.

Secondly. The Meal in a Glass. The Bloody Mary.






So tasty. So filling. Endless possibilities!

You'll need:
-Good Vodka
-Bloody Mary Mix (I use Mrs. T's or you can make your own)
-Celery
-Limes
-Pepperjack Cheese
-Cheddar Cheese
-Sausage
-Skewers

-Rinse, clean & chop celery
-Wedge Limes. Cut lime in the middle on the "flesh" so it can sit on the rim of the glass.
-Cut cheeses & sausage into small cubes.
-Skewer cheeses & sausage, alternating flavors.

THE BLOODY DETAILS.
-ICE, ICE, ICE FIRST! KEY!
-Vodka over the ice. (I don't use shot glasses, I count)
-Top with Bloody mix.
-Squirt in lime.
-Stir with celery.
-Place skewer in drink. Makes for a tasty treat!

You might want to have Tabasco, Worcestershire Sauce, and pepper on hand for those who like it spicy! You can put anything in a bloody. I swear. Bacon. Okra. Pickles. Olives. Whatever!

Refreshing. Simple. Cucumber Water.



This water is not only refreshing, it's pretty to look at too!

What you'll need:
-Bottled water/Filtered water/good water/whatever you want
-Cucumber

-Thinly slice cucumbers
-Drop in bottle (use a pitcher, carafe, an old reused bottle)
-Put cold water on top of cucumbers.

The cucumber will give the water a light, refreshing flavor. Enjoy :)
