Laissez les bons temps rouler!
Aaaaaahhhhhh yeeeee! Mardi Gras is here and we are celebrating the night away!
Whenever I think of New Orleans, I think of Hurricanes. Not the kind that drive everyone out of the city but the kind that makes ya get a little cray cray. Ya know, the kind that makes you do naughty things for beads. Oh, don't act like you haven't flashed for a few beads, guys...looking in your direction, us ladies would never do anything like that. What do you take us for?
The Hurricane
1 oz white rum
2 oz dark rum
3 oz orange juice
3 oz unsweetened pineapple juice
1/2 oz grenadine syrup
crushed ice
2 oz dark rum
3 oz orange juice
3 oz unsweetened pineapple juice
1/2 oz grenadine syrup
crushed ice
Combine all ingredients, shake it like a Polaroid picture. Strain over crushed ice in hurricane glass.Get a silly straw and let the good times begin.
Once on Bourbon Street a guy bet me five dollars that he could tell me where I got my shoes. It sounded like I couldn't lose so I gave it shot. He told me that I got my feet in my shoes and shoes on Bourbon Street. Yeah...I didn't think it was funny either. He consoled me by mixing up a yummy bourbon drink and I forgave him for taking my five bucks.
Bourbon Slush (this recipe makes enough for 14 people, or 7 if you want a double)
1 can of frozen orange juice
1 can frozen lemonade
1 can pineapple juice
1 1/2 cups of sugar
2 cups black tea
2 cups of bourbon
2 liters of 7-up
You made it through Mardi Gras, you need something to help with your pounding head. Serves ya right! Overindulging like that-what were you thinking? Don't worry, mama's got the perfect drink to get rid of that nasty headache.
Hair of the Dog
6 oz. gin
1/2 oz. fresh lemon juice
3 dashes hot sauce
1/2 a chili pepper
Pour the gin and hot sauce into a shaker with ice and shake, but not too hard! Strain into a chilled glass and garnish with the pepper.
Oh my! Are we ever gonna have a fabulous time tonight! No need to worry about tomorrow, it will take care of itself! Let the good times roll, my friends! XOXO
ALL of these sound good, I'll take one of each, please & thank you!
