Did I promise you a cocktail this week, or did I promise you a cocktail? I am pretty sure I promised you one. Well here she be. My citrus sizzle. With my hectic work schedule, design work and the overall chaotic life I lead, more and more I have been finding myself needing a little happy hour cocktail. Since we are in the throws of Summer, I have a few requirements for my libations. 1. It must be colorful. (Yes, only for me would that be a requirement. Psycho.) 2. It must be an adult beverage.(alcohol, duh). 3. It must be refreshing. 4. It must not contain 1,000 calories. I know I always mess with you guys and tell you my recipes are zero calories. I am such a jerk like that. But this time, this time only, this recipe really is a low calorie drink. You will NOT be disappointed. I have the perfect dress to match this cocktail. Who does that?!? Honestly. Matching their outfit to their drink. I swear it is catalogued in the DSM as a documented mental illness. Let's citrus sizzle.
In case you are having a minor mental blackout, here is what is going on...
The Citrus Sizzle Cocktail
Ingredients:
1 shot of Orange Vodka (I prefer Grey Goose. I am classy like that.)
Diet 7-Up
Sugar Free Sweet and Sour Mix
2 Maraschino Cherries + a splash of the juice
Orange Wedge
Salt
Make sure you rim your glass with water and salt before mixing your concoction. Then, mix all ingredients together and a cocktail you shall have.
Drink and repeat. Seriously. All 4 must haves, have been met for my cocktail checklist.
So my girl Courtney over at a A Little Glass Box has left you a little food for thought, no pun intended. No. You know what?!?! Pun intended. Courtney has some serious Summer fare happening over at her place today. I want to gorge myself with what she has got goin' on.
What's on the agenda for next week on Summer Series? Fashion, my friends. Loves!
