Valentine's Day Drink



Happy Valentine's Day and Thirsty Thursday!  

Ingredients:
- 2 frozen strawberries and 2 fresh
- half a frozen banana
- 1/4 cup orange juice
- 2 tablespoons of vanilla flavored syrup
- 1 tablespoon of whipped cream
- 1 shot of dark rum

Directions:
Blend the strawberries, banana, and orange juice together.  Add the vanilla, whipped cream, and rum, blend, and serve.  

I don't know about you ladies, but if my husband woke me up with this (minus the rum) in a glass I would be mightily impressed.  I'm not even sure my husband knows we have a blender, little less where we keep it.  So it would be additionally astonishing.  

Though Aaron might not know where I keep the blender, he's a fantastic hubby.  He tries really hard, and that's what counts.  As long as we both are trying our hardest, then I couldn't ask for more.  

Oh, and by the way this drink is Yummy!  The banana helps cut the tartness of the orange juice and strawberries, yet without overpowering it.  This drink is the prefect blend of all the flavors.  It mostly tastes of strawberry, but you can taste the orange juice, banana, and whipped cream.  They all make up an important supporting cast of flavors.  

Again Happy Valentine's Day and Happy Thirsty Thursday, chris!!!

The Battle Brigade Cocktail


At the onset of the day I thought I'd skip making an alcoholic drink today.  Mostly because my tummy hasn't been feeling up to par since Thanksgiving.  However, after the day I had today a drink is definitely in my cards.  So YAY for Thirsty Thursday!  In lieu of the raging battle going on in my tummy and immune system, I'll call this The Battle Brigade.  

Ingredients:
- a shot of bourbon
- 1/4 cup of orange juice
- ginger ale

Directions:
Pour the shot of bourbon in a glass, then the orange juice.  Add ice, and fill the glass with ginger ale.  Stir and enjoy.  

There you have a great drink that will get you through a tough day, and help stave off a cold, The Battle Brigade.  

Happy Thirsty Thursday, hope you enjoy, chris!
