Razzy Peach Chill

Day 75




Razzy Peach Chill
4 shots out of 5


Felt like pulling out the blender again and having another blended cocktail.  Since I only have my 4 purees so far, I thought I'd try to blend a couple of them together and make a new flavor.  I call it Razzy Peach Chill!

I gave tonight's cocktail 4 shots out of 5.  It's a pretty good one.  Raspberry and Peach are a pretty good match and I'm enjoying drinking this cocktail.    I like raspberry flavor in my cocktails in general, so I figured adding raspberry and peach might be good.  (Side note: Raspberry margaritas are the flavor that I usually order because it  cuts out that tequila taste quite well.)  I do need to get some more flavors of purees though so that I can experiment more.  I know they have a strawberry one......but I'm hoping they have some different flavors out there that I haven't seen yet.

Here is the recipe for the Razzy Peach Chill:

  • 1 1/2 shots rum
  • 1 1/2 shot peach puree
  • 1/2 shot raspberry puree
  • 1/2 shot peach schnapps
  • 1/2 shot sweet & sour mix
In a blender add a cup of ice, rum, peach puree, raspberry puree, peach schnapps and sweet & sour mix.  Blend up your ingredients until all of the ice is gone, you don't want your cocktail crunchy!

Cheers to the word Razzy!  I just really like that word and felt like incorporating it in the name of tonight's cocktail!!

Cheers!!

Artificial Intelligence

Day 72




Artificial Intelligence
3 shots out of 5


Day 72 and still going strong!  Happy Friday night, what a long week that was.  Time for a warm weekend full of sports, sports and more sports!  Don't forget the cocktails!!  I sure know I won't.  Tonight's cocktail is Artificial Intelligence.

I gave tonight's cocktail 3 shots out of 5.  This cocktail kinda tastes.......like......nuth'n.  I mean there's some taste to it, obviously enough for me to give it 3 shots and continue drinking it.  It just doesn't scream "I'm an awesome cocktail, you want to devour me and go for seconds!!".  Well my Alien Urine Sample was a very good one, but the Artificial Intelligence......aaahhh, I've had better.  Anyway, it's not going to ruin my weekend!  It's supposed to be hotter tomorrow, so maybe I'll pull out the blender and give it a whirl!

Side note:  I still completely fail at "floating" an alcohol on top of a cocktail.  As you can see the melon liqueur is on the bottom of my cocktail.  Cocktail Lady 0 shots out of 5 for Floating.

Here's the recipe for Artificial Intelligence:

  • 1/2 shot light rum
  • 1/2 shot dark rum
  • 1/2 shot coconut rum
  • dash of lime juice
  • 3 shots pineapple juice
  • 1/2 shot melon liqueur
In a shaker add ice, light rum, dark rum, coconut rum, lime juice and pineapple juice.  Shake it up real well and strain into a chilled cocktail glass.  Float melon liqueur on top.

Here is a photo of the end result:

Cheers to the weekend!  It couldn't have come fast enough!  Hope you all enjoy your weekend and might even try a new cocktail during it!

Electric Parrothead

Day 71


Electric Parrothead
3.5 shots out of 5


The weekend is almost here!  Froze at our oldest son's baseball game tonight, so glad his weekend game is earlier in the day!  Came home and it was time to make tonight's cocktail.  I figured I'd use my new Spiced Rum in a cocktail tonight, so I chose Electric Parrothead.

I gave tonight's cocktail 3.5 shots out of 5.  Personally I think I would have gone 1 of 2 different ways with this cocktail.  Either, skip the spiced rum and just stuck with the coconut rum, or decreased the spiced rum to 1/2 shot and either upped the coconut rum by 1/2 shot or the pineapple juice by 1/2 a shot (depending on how coconut-ey I'm feeling).  I think the spiced rum is a bit too spicy for this cocktail, but it wasn't horrible where I couldn't finish it.  It's not bad.......I'd just have made it a little different is all.

Here is the recipe for Electric Parrothead:

  • 1 shot coconut rum
  • 1 shot spiced rum
  • 1/2 shot blue curacao
  • 1 1/2 shots pineapple juice
In a shaker add ice, coconut rum, spiced rum, blue curacao and pineapple juice.  Shake up your ingredients real good.  Pour everything into a tall glass.

Cheers to tomorrow being Friday and the weekend being so close I can almost touch it!

Brown Lady

Day 65




Brown Lady
5 shots out of 5


It's a hot day here!  The thermometer said 75 degrees when we were walking the kids home from school today, which is a very pleasant change from the rain and cold weather we've been having! Oh speaking of weather......if you remember when I was telling you about our lightning and how I needed to blog the PB&J Martini before our power possibly went out?  Well not even 15 minutes after I had blogged it, lightning struck right outside the house and our power went out!  Phewph, glad I had made it!

Tonight's cocktail I gave 5 shots out of 5.  I got this recipe from one of my readers, Jessica.  Thank You Jessica for your recipe for Brown Lady!  I am really enjoying this blended cocktail, especially with it being so hot out here.  As you can see from my photo, I can not  decorate a cocktail glass and make it look fancy if my life had depended on it!  I even used one of those cake frosting tips to make the opening smaller........yea I totally failed.  This is definitely a nice refreshing blended cocktail.  I can really taste the kahlua the most, which is nice.  

Here is the recipe for Brown Lady:

  • 1 shot rum
  • 1 shot kahlua
  • 1 shot cream of coconut
  • 1 scoop vanilla ice cream
  • 1/2 cup ice
  • chocolate syrup
In a blender add all of your ingredients.  Blend it up really good so that your ice disappears.  Try   to garnish your glass with chocolate syrup, put some on the bottom, try to twirl some up the side, however you do it is fine.  Then pour your cocktail into your decorated glass and enjoy!

Here is a photo of the end result:

Jessica, here's to you and your Brown Lady cocktail.  It was exactly what I needed on a hot Friday of a long week!  Thank You again!

Mangana Daiquiri

Day 63




Mangana Daiquiri
5 shots out of 5


Holy yummy daiquiri I created!!  I'm liking this cocktail a whole lot!  Another great creation using my purees!!  I think these two purees are my favorite ones so far.  I think that's so because  raspberry is such a common flavor in cocktails and my peach puree........well....I still haven't figured out how to get it's flavor to pop yet.

I gave tonight's cocktail 5 shots out of 5.  I am absolutely loving this cocktail!  It's got a good blend of the mango puree and the banana puree.  The two DO compliment each other quite well, I must say!  Um, is it summer yet?  I really need to be sitting out in my backyard sipping on this cocktail!  Actually I have quite a line up of cocktails that I have blogged about that I would like to be sitting in my backyard sipping on, like the Blue HawaiianBack Porch BreezeChi Chi and quite a few more I just can't think of right now (perhaps this Mangana Daiquiri is why?).  I hope some of you try this cocktail and tell me what you think of it!

Here's the recipe for the Mangana Daiquiri:

  • 1 1/2 shots coconut rum
  • 1 shot mango puree
  • 1 shot banana puree
In a blender add 1 cup of ice, coconut rum, mango puree and banana puree.  Blend them up well so that the ice is gone.  Pour and enjoy!!

Peach Freeze Cocktail

Day 60




Peach Freeze
3.5 shots out of 5


Was feeling creative today and it seems that my peach puree has been neglected lately, so I thought I'd try my hardest to make something with it today.  I have to say that this peach puree is a hard one to work with for me.  It doesn't have as strong of a flavor as some of those other purees, so I feel like I should be adding a LOT of shots of it to my recipes.......which doesn't work when you have one cocktail glass to fit it in.

I gave tonight's cocktail 3.5 shots out of 5.  I wasn't terribly happy that it didn't have a bigger peach taste, but it is what it is.  I figured adding the peach schnapps would help, and it defiantly did.  The cocktail over all isn't horrible (which might be the way it sounds?), it has a good flavor and I am happy drinking it.  I will still try to figure out a way (which maybe adding actual peaches themselves would work) to make a frozen cocktail taste more peachy, but for now, this one will do.

Here is the recipe for a Peach Freeze:

  • 1 1/2 shots rum
  • 1 1/2 shot peach puree
  • 1/2 shot peach schnapps
  • 1/2 shot sweet & sour mix
In a blender add a cup of ice, rum, peach puree, peach schnapps and sweet & sour mix.  Blend it up until the ice is completely gone.  Pour and enjoy!


Here is a photo of the end result:




Here is a photo of the ingredients:




Here's to finding a more peachy frozen cocktail in the future.  And a BIG cheers to my 60th day of my Year Of Cocktails Blog!!  I'm enjoying this a whole lot!  I feel a lot more experienced in the world of cocktails now then I did when I started this blog!

Cheers!

Wild Thing Cocktail

Day 59




Wild Thing
3.5 shots out of 5



WOW is it late!!  For the record I started tonight's blog at 11:58pm, so I just made it in time!  It's a late blog tonight because we had soccer, baseball and a birthday party today, so a nice cocktail is definitely needed now!

I gave the Wild Thing 3.5 shots out of 5.  I do like the fruitier, sweeter (not not too sweet) cocktails and this one isn't really that.  It's still a good cocktail though.  Not one I'd order again, but I'm glad I tried it.  The name of the cocktail is fun too!  It always interests me when I see a cocktail recipe ask for vodka AND rum.  As you know I used to be a vodka cran or rum & coke girl, so the fact that some of these recipes want me to mix the two absolutely baffled my mind at first.  Not so much now.  I have seen some cocktails mixing 3 or more different alcohols, so mixing two is old news to me now.  I can't say that I would recommend this drink to my friends because they like more of the same kinds of cocktails I do, but for someone who likes the taste of the liqueurs and alcohols more then the mixes and juices, I would say to definitely go for it!

Here is the recipe for the Wild Thing:

  • 1 1/2 shots vodka
  • 1/2 shot rum
  • 1/2 shot triple sec
  • dash of lime juice
  • dash of sweet & sour mix
  • 2 1/2 shots cranberry juice
In a shaker add ice, vodka, rum, triple sec, lime juice and sweet & sour mix.  Shake it up real good to get all of the ingredients mixed well.  Strain it into a tall glass filled 3/4 with ice.  Then add the cranberry juice.

Banana Boat

Day 58




Banana Boat
5 shots out of 5


I have to share this little story with you.  Not thinking of how I looked doing this, I had made tonight's cocktail, Banana Boat, and LOVED it soooo much that I needed to walk down to Steph's house (Here's her awesome site) with martini glass in hand for her to try it!  I walked down, knocked on her door, handed her the cocktail to try......mission accomplished.  Now for the walk home.  Happy with myself and my cocktail, I turned around and started walking home.  Along drives a guy in a red explorer, totally staring at me with the biggest "way to go girl" smile on his face!  It totally made me smile, because at that moment I realized what I looked like!  He gets to the corner, rolls down his window and sticks his arm out to give me a BIG wave before he disappears behind the houses.  Just thinking of what it all must have looked like makes me laugh.  OK, onto tonight's cocktail.

I gave tonight's cocktail 5 shots out of 5.  WOWZERS, this is a very good cocktail!  I am SOOO enjoying the banana liqueur in this one!  Tastes just like bananas!  Each ingredient compliments the other in such a fantastic way that I wish I would have known about this cocktail earlier!  Hope you try and enjoy a Banana Boat!

Here is the recipe for a Banana Boat:

  • 1 shot coconut rum
  • 1 shot banana liqueur
  • 2 shots pineapple juice
In a shaker add ice, rum, banana liqueur and pineapple juice.  Shake it up real well to get everything mixed up good.  In a chilled martini glass, strain your cocktail and enjoy!

Cheers to banana liqueur!  I am enjoying cocktails that have this liqueur in them.  It's a liqueur that is a pleasant surprise, I must say!

Crango Daiquiri

Day 49




Crango Daiquiri
4.5 shots out of 5


I set out all of my purees and my banana liqueur and just starred at them trying to think of a new creation.  I really wanted to use my banana liqueur with one of them, so the lucky winner was the mango puree!!

I gave tonight's cocktail 4.5 shots out of 5.  I am totally digging these blended cocktails and these purees (I know I've said that before, but I just totally am!).  Tonight's cocktail is making me want to book a tropical vacation at a hotel with a pool and a cocktail waiter/waitress that keeps their eye on my glass and comes running with a brand new one as I am sipping my very last sip!  OK, that was a long sentence.  I hope you try some of my blended cocktails and love them!

I want to thank ALL of you who have emailed me your favorite cocktail recipes!  I have enjoyed making the ones I have so far and can't wait to make the others that I have on my list!  Thank You for helping me try new and exciting cocktails each and every night!  Also, Thank You to all of you who come to my blog to see what I have been drinking nightly!  I appreciate it!  You're always welcome to email me just because, you don't need to have a recipe in hand.  OK, so onto the recipe.

Here is the recipe for my Crango Daiquiri:

  • 1 1/2 shots light rum
  • 2 shots mango puree
  • 1/2 shot banana liqueur
  • 1/2 shot cream of coconut
  • 1 shot cranberry juice
In a blender add 1 cup of ice, rum, mango puree, banana liqueur, cream of coconut and cranberry juice.  Blend until your ice disappears, pour and enjoy!!

Black Raspberry Coconut Daiquiri

Day 47




Black Raspberry Coconut Daiquiri
4 shots out of 5



So I was feeling creative tonight and was also feeling like blended cocktail.  We pulled out the blender and got busy.  Busy making cocktails that is.  I'm pretty impressed with my creation I must say, and would totally order it at a bar, once I told them how to make it that is, haha.

I gave tonight's cocktail 4 shots out of 5.  I decided to take your basic ingredients and add a few more to then, hey why not.  I added some coconut cream and some Chambord to give it that Black Raspberry taste and mmmmmm was that good idea!  These kind of cocktails are really making me wish summer was here already.  I want to make some blended fruity cocktails and sit in the backyard and watch the kids running around playing in the sun.  Summer can not come fast enough.  Those of you who are enjoying the Chambord, you'll have to give this cocktail a try, I'm thinking that you'll like it!!

Here is the recipe for Black Raspberry Coconut Daiquiri:

  • 1 1/2 shots light rum
  • 1 1/2 shots raspberry puree
  • 1 shot sweet & sour mix
  • 1/4 shot lime juice
  • 1/2 shot coconut cream
  • 1/2 shot Chambord
In a blender add a cup of ice, rum, raspberry puree, sweet & sour mix, lime juice, coconut cream and Chambord.  Blend it up really well so that all of the ice is gone.  Pour and enjoy!!

Lady Luck Cocktail

Day 46



Lady Luck
3.5 shots out of 5


OK, so tonight I don't have a "theme" song in my head, just a song.  Good 'ole Blue Eyes is singing his song in my head as I enjoy tonight's cocktail, Lady Luck.  Can I just say that I am REALLY enjoying writing this blog!  OK, so yes it's fun to get to have a cocktail a night (and have a reason why I am doing it), but it's fun to try all of these different liqueurs, alcohols and juices that I honestly would NEVER have ever tried on my own!  Way to break me out of the vodka cran and rum and coke shell!!  I love it!!

I gave Lady Luck 3.5 shots out of 5 tonight.  This cocktail is a bit syrupey sweet to me.  A bit too much, but not enough to make me not finish the cocktail if I was to order it at a bar.  I think it would just make me finish it quicker then normal so that I could order a safer cocktail for myself afterwords.  For those of you who do enjoy the sweeter syrupey cocktails, you just might enjoy this one.

Here is the recipe for Lady Luck:

  • 3/4 shot malibu rum
  • 3/4 shot chambord
  • 3/4 shot banana liqueur
In a shaker add ice, malibu rum, chambord and banana liqueur.  Shake it up real well to get your cocktail mixed and cold.  Strain your cocktail into a chilled martini glass and enjoy.

Sunburnt Breeze

Day 32




Sun Burnt Breeze
5 shots out of 5


Two night's ago I made a Carribean Breeze which I enjoyed......but it made me think, maybe if I add something else to it I could make that 4 shots out of 5 a solid 5.  Did it!  I added some cranberry juice and grenadine and it gave it enough of a different taste that I really liked it!  Melanie, if you are reading this blog, try tonight's cocktail and let me know what you think whether you love it, hate it or just think it's ok, I'd love to hear it!

I had a friend over tonight who thought this cocktail was VERY good as well, so I may have given her a new cocktail to start ordering!  Myself included in that one actually.  I'm curious to see if I add different juices to the mix or flavoring how many different, good, combinations I can come up with to try.

If you are enjoying the cocktails I'm enjoying, I would definitely give tonight's cocktail the Sun Burnt Breeze a try, I think you'll like it!

Here is the recipe for the Sunburnt Breeze:

  • 1 1/2 shots vanilla vodka
  • 3/4 shot Malibu Rum
  • 2 shots pineapple juice
  • 1 shot cranberry juice 
  • 1/4 shot grenadine
In a shaker with no ice add your vodka, rum, pineapple juice, cranberry juice and grenadine.  Stir it up real well with your bar spoon.  Pour your cocktail into a hurricane glass filled 3/4 with crushed ice and enjoy!  Hope you like it as much as I did!!

Carribean Breeze

Day 30




Carribean Breeze
4 shots out of 5


Tonight's cocktail is dedicated to one of my readers that I received from my good friend Stephanie!  Melanie sent me an email requesting I make her favorite cocktail which is a Carribean Breeze.  I love receiving emails with cocktail suggestions from my readers!  There are sooo many cocktails for me to choose from out there, it's nice to just be given one!

In case you were wondering my 2nd oldest is playing Just Dance 3 right now and the song Dynamite is on, so I just found myself typing to it.

Tonight's cocktail I gave 4 shots out of 5 to, great choice Melanie!  I enjoyed this cocktail, and knew I would because I do enjoy the 3 ingredients that create it.  I never realized (before doing this blog) that you could or even should combine vodka and rum together.......who knew!  Now trying it, I think it makes a good base for a bunch of cocktails!  Actually I think this cocktail makes a good base to add something else to it as well.....hmmmm.

Here is the recipe for the Carribean Breeze:

  • 1 1/2 shots vanilla vodka
  • 3/4 shot Malibu Rum
  • 2 shots pineapple juice

In an iceless shaker I added the vodka, rum and pineapple juice and stirred it real good with my bar spoon.  Pour your cocktail into a hurricane glass that is 3/4 filled with crushed ice and enjoy!

Zombie Cocktail

Day 27




Zombie Cocktail
3.5 out of 5




I'm going to take a night off of my blended cocktails tonight to honor one of my good friends Marisa!  Today is her birthday and she has requested that I try a Zombie for her birthday.  Marisa and I were sitting down looking through my 3 cocktail books and she found tonight's cocktail and thought it looked good enough to try.  Now I must say that the book we were looking through made it look a bit how do I say this....tropical-ey-er then what I created.  It had that bright orange delicious look to it that made you want to pull it right out of the book and devour it.  (If you haven't noticed I do create my own words which are usually regular words where I add an "er" or "ey" or "ish" to the end or sometimes a couple of them, just thought I'd throw that out there so you don't think that I can't spell or something).


I am giving tonight's cocktail 3.5 shots out of 5 because although it's not my favorite drink ever, it does have potential.  By potential I mean the first few sips are okish, but as you take more you get used to the taste of it and begin to like it a bit more.


This is my first ever cocktail that I used apricot brandy or powdered sugar, it was kind of exciting.  I could see myself ordering this cocktail at a bar more or less to see what someone else's Zombie tastes like.  All in all (the more sips I'm taking), I like tonight's cocktail!  Good choice Marisa and Happy Birthday To You!! 


Here is the recipe for the Zombie:



  • 4 crushed ice cubes (there I go telling you exactly how many to use again)
  • 1 shot amber rum
  • 1 shot light rum
  • 1/2 shot apricot brandy
  • 2 shots pineapple juice
  • 1 Tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tsp powdered sugar

In a shaker add your crushed ice, both rums, apricot brandy, pineapple juice, lime juice and powdered sugar.  Shake it up until you have a good foam.  Pour it un-strained into your chilled hurricane glass and enjoy!

Mango Tango Daiquiri

Day 25




Mango Tango Daiquiri
5 shots out of 5


I couldn't go and use my banana puree and not use my mango puree, sheeesh.  Tonight I once again created my own mango flavored Daiquiri.  This one was a little trickier then the Swing'n Banana Daiquiri, I have to say.  Mango has more of a tartier taste to it then the banana, so I had to offset that with a little bit of lime juice......which I had added too much of, therefore I needed to add more pineapple juice, then more mango, then some more mango, etc.  I finally came up with a recipe that absolutely worked, and worked well!  Our friends came over to taste test it (I've been calling them on a regular basis to come over to try "tonight's cocktail") and both agreed that it was amazing!!

I gave tonight's cocktail 5 shots out of 5 because all of the ingredients blended well together and complimented each other real good.  I tell you once summer comes I'm going to be ready with my blender and MANY ingredients we now have around the house!  The fun thing about it will be all of the different colors of blended cocktails I'll make!  From the Blue Hawaiian to the Chi Chi to the Swing'n Banana Daiquiri to the Piña Colada to tonight's cocktail the Mango Tango Daiquiri.  I'm definitely starting to make a rainbow of blended cocktails around here!

Here is the recipe for MY Mango Tango Daiquiri:

  • 1 1/2 shots rum
  • 2 1/2 shots mango puree
  • 1/2 shot cream of coconut
  • 2 shots pineapple juice
  • 1/4 shot lime juice

As I had said, I had to keep increasing the amounts of each ingredient, so this is going to make a little more then one cocktail......but honestly, is is that a bad thing?  Not in my book!

In a blender add 1 cup of ice, rum, mango puree, cream of coconut, pineapple juice and lime juice.  Blend until there is no more ice, it should be a liquid.  Pour and enjoy!!

Here is a photo of the end result:

Swing'n Banana Daiquiri

Day 24




Swing'n Banana Daiquiri
5 shots out of 5


OK, so I'm a little bias, but for good reason!  I created tonight's cocktail myself......so of course I'm gonna make it so that I LOVE it!!  When I was at the liquor store buying more bottles of alcohol I walked by the Finest Call section and saw a bunch of different flavors to choose between.  My goal is to make these cocktails with out using pre-made drink mixes, such as a Piña Colada mix (I'd rather mix the pineapple juice and cream of coconut myself), so instead I went for the Puree's. I chose the Banana Puree and the Mango Puree.

I decided that I was going to make a blended cocktail tonight.  I guess I was in the mood to pull out my blender and give it a whirl (pun intended).  So I decided to make my version of a Banana Daiquiri.  I'm sure there are other versions out there, but I wanted to know that I was going to love it, so I made it myself.

I gave tonight's cocktail 5 shots out of 5.  I really enjoy blended drinks, I do like the flavor of banana and the ingredients together made it taste great!  I am hoping that at the end of this year, I will be able to create my own drinks by knowing what goes with what and how much of each ingredient to use.

Here is the recipe for MY Swing'n Banana Daiquiri:

  • 1 1/2 shots of rum
  • 1 shot Banana Puree
  • 1/2 shot cream of coconut
  • 3 shots pineapple juice

In a blender, put 1 cup of ice, rum, banana puree, cream of coconut and pineapple juice.  Blend it up so that there are no little pieces of ice left, just a complete liquid.  Pour into a margarita glass and enjoy!!


Here is a photo of the end result:

This is the first banana flavored cocktail I've EVER had, and I must say it's a pretty good one!  Enjoy!
