Thirsty Thursday-Pumpkin Anonymous

Is there such a thing?  You would think so right? I would suspect that a meeting might go similar to this:

Suzie:  Hi, I'm Suzie.  I am addicted to pumpkin.  I drink 3 PSL a day.  And my sandwich is made with pumpkin bread. AND a side of pumpkin pie.

Group:  Welcome Suzie.

Well, in celebration of pumpkin week on the blog, I am bringing a delicious pumpkin drink.  No, it is not the copycat version of a Pumpkin Spice Latte. I would say this one is better-it has alcohol!!  I found this Pumpkin Cheesecake Martini  recipe over at A Beautiful Mess.   I can't wait to make this drink to go with the pumpkin recipes from yesterday's blog!
  The grocery list is pretty simple. I posted the grocery list here but the "how to" is in the link.
You need:
Vanilla Vodka
Pumpkin SPice Syrup (she has a recipe for it)
Puumpin Pie Filling
Half and Half
Vanilla Extract
Ground Cinnamon
Sugar
Jello Cheesecake pudding mix
Whipped Cream

Doesn't that look yummy?!  Imagine sitting on the couch (after the kids have gone to bed) with one of these and some pumpkin pie fudge... (see Wednesday's blog).  Yea, if you need me tomorrow night, you know where to find me.

                         

Hope you enjoy your thirsty Thursday!!

Hugs y'all,

LSG

 

Thirsty Thursday-The Friday Edition

I had every intention of writing this blog last night when I came in from work.  I have had the drink recipe picked out for a week and knew pretty much exactly what I was going to write. I came in, started baked potatoes in the oven, completed my 30 day challenges, sat down on the bed...and fell asleep!  Tough workout...maybe.  Tough day...maybe.  Close to the end of the week...most definitely the reason!   Once I woke up, I figured out my family had come down for a visit.  They don't live out of state or even across town.  Mom and dad just live across the field from us.  So to sum up this long winded and rambling post, I did not get time.

But it counts for something if I get up early Friday morning and write it before work, right? Today's recipe came from Happy Food Healthy Life.  It's the Pink Starburst Cocktail.  Let's be honest for a second.  The pink and red  starbursts are almost everyone's favorite anyway.  The rest of the package is just filler so that the candy company has an excuse to only put 1 or 2 reds/pinks in there.  Then they fill the rest of the package with orange and (yuck) yellow!  So why not make a drink named after one of the favorite starburst colors?!

Here's your grocery list:

1 oz of Pinnacle whipped vodka

1 oz of half and half 

1 oz of fruit punch

Fill with orange juice and top with  splash of diet lemon-lime soda

Here's how to make it:

Mix the vodka, half and half, and fruit punch in a 12 oz glass.  Fill almost all the way with orange jucie and top with a splash of diet lemon-lime soda.

How cute is this drink?
