T.G.I.F. Fiery Bloody Mary

 
 
 
I am so happy that the weekend is finally here and for some reason I feel like a bloody mary and a grill cheese sandwich...does that seem weird?!  Who knows but there is nothing like tomato soup and a grill cheese sandwich on a cool fall day so in lieu of the tomato soup I am substituting it for a bloody mary this weekend and a spicy one at that.  I don't know how you like your bloody mary's but I like mine so spicy that they could clear your sinuses...ok so maybe not that spicy but you get what I mean. 

Hope you enjoy this one... 

Mix 2 parts Modmix Wasabi Bloody Mary with 1-2 parts pepper vodka. Serve on the rocks in a high ball glass. Garnish with a multitude of options such as lime wedge, pickled asparagus, celery stick, or prawn.

Have a great weekend!!!

T.G.I.F. Citrus Margarita

 

What a week it's been!  I seriously can't believe it's already Friday...It's definitely a T.G.I.F. kinda day for me.  I know I have been kind of lame about the postings this week but I honestly have not been able to keep up with all that has been going on this week.  I am thankful that the "busy" this week has all been positive. Yippee!  I am ready for Calgon to take me away (or someone to take me on a tropical vacation). 

Modmix take me away.... 

Modmix has captured the sultry Mexican Riviera in their Citrus Margarita. The freshest of organic limes, a bloom of fragrant orange - simply add your favorite tequila, and be transported to your own private beach cabana. Or add a splash of whatever spirit moves you to create your own signature cocktail - and viva!

Mix 2 parts Organic Modmix Citrus Margarita with 1-2 parts tequila. Shake over ice and strain into a martini glass or pour over ice into a margarita glass. Optional: salt the glass rim. Garnish with lime wedge.

T.G.I. F. French Gin Fizz

 

 

The end of summer is almost here (I can't believe it) and we really just got summer a couple of weeks ago (boo hoo).  Anyway, I am going to hang on to it until the very end and that's why I am going to make-up a batch of these this Saturday afternoon for our NYC friends in town.  These look absolutely scrumptious!

Directions:

Mix 2 parts Organic Modmix French Martini with 1-2 parts gin and a splash of soda water. Serve on the rocks. Garnish with a mint sprig, raspberry, lemon peel or pineapple wedge.

Pssst!  If you didn't know, we actually are now selling all of Modmix's Mouthwatering Organic Mixers exclusively (as seen in Newsweek). So be sure and pick some up today for your next soiree. They really are very delicious! 

T.G.I.F. Gourmet Popsicles

Everyone loves to cool off with a popsicle on a sweltering summer day.  I knew it was only a matter of time before another childhood classic got an upgrade...Gourmet popsicles. These popsicles are the perfect after dinner refreshment on those hot summer nights.

You can find many different flavors (mojito, white chocolate pear, pistachio, hibiscus, chai tea...I could go on and on) but the recipe we chose for todays post is for limoncello pops.

T.G.I.F. Pisco Sour

I was recently in San Francisco visiting my friends and family and we went to the yummiest Peruvian restaurant on the Embarcadero called La Mar.  So, I decided to branch out and try something different then my normal glass of wine...I told the bartender to surprise me and this is the drink he served me - It was really really good so I am going to attempt to remake this one this weekend for my out of town guests. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.  

The Pisco Sour, a refreshing, yet potent drink from Peru.  It’s primary alcohol is Pisco, a liquor of debated Peruvian or Chilean origin made from distilled grapes.

T.G.I.F. Citrus Daquiri

Shake it up this weekend with something cool and tropical!  Whether you're having a backyard luau or just hanging out on the deck this one takes you to a place where the sand is white and the water is oh so blue.  I definitely need to put my feet in the sand soon.  Have a relaxing weekend!

Mix 2 parts Organic Modmix Citrus Margarita with 1-2 parts rum. Shake over ice and strain into a martini glass or serve on the rocks. Garnish with lime or orange wedge.

T.G.I.F. Pomegranate Margarita

4th of July is just around the corner and if you are looking for something new and festive to serve up then mix up a batch of Pomegranate Margaritas!  The pomegranate is rumored to be the real fruit that tempted Eve in the Garden of Eden. Now it adds its irresistible touch to the traditional margarita. And, like all of Modmix's mixers, it's all organic. Just add your favorite tequila, and prepare to be shaken.

Here's how to do it:

Mix 2 parts Organic Modmix Pomegranate Cosmopolitan with 1-2 parts tequila. Shake over ice and strain into a martini glass or pour over ice in a margarita glass.

Optional: salt the glass rim. Garnish with a lime or orange wedge.

T.G.I.F. Margarita Season is Here!!!

I think Cinco de Mayo ignited my passion for Margaritas; and no reason not to have one.  Dazzle
your friends with a fresh flavor by simply adding a splash of another Stirrings flavor to create your own twist on the classic margarita. These tasty cool beverages are perfect for any occasion...bridal shower, girl's night out, dinner party or backyard bbq...anyway, you get the idea!

Try a Pomegranate, Blood Orange, or Watermelon margarita!

Tacos & Mojitos Cinco de Mayo Dinner Party

Invite friends and family over for a little Cinco de Mayo fiesta and surprise them with something unexpected...Tacos & Mojitos! Muy bueno! 

Celebrate this occasion by hosting a dinner party if the weather is nice set-up tables outside.  I don't know about you but when the weather starts to heat up I feel like Mojitos and I always love tacos.  This is the perfect combination - the sweet flavors of the rum drink and spicy flavor of the tacos.  Aye Carumba!
