So, just in time for you to have recovered from your New Year's hangover, its Thirsty Thursday and time for another drink! Unless you are like me and only had two sips of champagne and called it a night... Anyway...as I am trying to be a beacon of inspiration in the whole getting healthy thing (though, I must admit I am not doing so great myself...just today...) I searched and searched for a cocktail that would warm you up (because its super cold out here) and wouldn't use up half of your calories for the day...those cocktails tend to have quite a few calories!
(And sorry for the super short post, but I went back to work last night and I am EXHAUSTED right now! Oh...and also, Blogger is still being a total bitch about letting read and comment on blogs...ggrrrrr...there are two other blogs I've been able to read and comment on as well as responding to comments on mine...but that is hit or miss and I have to try again and again until it works. Whatever Google. Let's get this fixed, shall we????? Thanks!)
The Crimson Crush
Ingredients
1.5oz Belvedere RED
3 bar spoons of pomegranate seeds
4 chunks pink grapefruit
Directions
Muddle pomegranate seeds and grapefruit with elderflower liqueur. Add Belvedere and top with crushed ice. Churn.
And I mean, the grapefruit..so seasonal. It will keep you from getting sick AND its on sale everywhere right now...well, at least around here...
So...what do you think??
And now...your moment of zen...
Get it??
Sorry to hear that the problems with blogger are continuing, and that work is tiring you out, but you're soldiering on. Beacon of inspiration or not, that's still pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your support...and I am starting to think perhaps I have upset the google gods somehow...though I can't imagine...
Deletewow. if I could have a glass of that and a comfy chair in front of that field, I think I might just be in Heaven.
ReplyDeleteI know, right?!? I am in love with that picture!
DeleteI'd like this.. because it has crushed ice and it's warm here. Might go to the beach Saturday. ;D
ReplyDeleteI like the Zen moments. And short posts are fine if you're tired. Seriously, I do it all the time. No one ever says anything.
I think the whole Zen thing has gotten an amazing response! I am keeping it!!
DeleteI like the warm drinks at the bookstore. But that's about it for me. Although, if I get two of those in me, I get hyper from the sugar.
ReplyDeleteI can't even do coffee any more...just tea. And honestly, the hardest thing I drink is wine. Though I've been told I'm an excellent bartender!
DeleteYou do have some great taste in music Mel. I love that song. The drink looks fabulous and like nothing else I've ever tried.
ReplyDeleteTry to get some sleep when you get home.
Thanks Anne! I like it!!
DeleteAnd I think I am going to head to bed soon actually....if I can stay asleep, I could get EIGHT HOURS!!
Love the song, not so sure about this drink but I think I could live forever in that zen moment..
ReplyDelete=D
DeleteBoo Hiss to work and continuing Blogger problems!!
ReplyDeleteEveryone is going to think I hate them ;(
DeleteThat drink looks and sounds most delightful. Gee, I didn't realize one could drink as much vodka and liqueur as they want - as long as they chase it down with grapefruit ... lol! Whee!! There's no stopping me now :0
ReplyDeleteI love that moment of Zen :)
I like to think I perform a public service!! Have at it!
DeleteCheck back Friday...its a very special moment of Zen!
