Blueberry Lemonade Mimosa

Brunch knows best

Probably the simplest cocktail ever, and here I am about to over complicate everything in the name of flavor. A mimosa is nothing more than a one to one ratio of orange juice and champagne. To be honest, it can be any citrus juice mixed with the champagne. Another wonderful way to sneak in wine masqued under the guise of vitamin C.

Stolen Mango Moscato

Cool it down

My sister and her boyfriend went to 689 in Kingston and returned raving about two things. A drink they had and oxtail lasagna. She knew I was in the middle of drink month and demanded I recreate the drink they had and loved. She made sure to ask the bartender what the drink consisted of, and the rest was left to me to figure out. So I have never tasted the original and I blindly attempted a copycat recipe of a drink I didn’t know the name of…turned out pretty good.

Pot of Jamaican Gold

Its Jamaica’s Independence month!!!

And in proper Jamaican fashion I will dedicate this month to all foods and drinks indigenous to my home country. But don’t expect the traditional methods; I’m still the Greedy Girl after all. So expect Jamaican dishes with a twist.

Pineapple Schweppes Grapefruit Granita

Cookout and BBQ Season!
