Cheers!



I couldn't pinpoint the exact reason when and why I decided to drink and I don't mean drink to oblivion. I meant a drink or two of those fancy cocktails I see on TV. Also, some friends and I still have yet to schedule a girls' night. We always get together during parties with our respective families but never a girls only night (this better happen soon)!

Now I remember, it was Thursday and we were about to watch 2 Guns when I craved for a drink. I'm not after the alcohol but more like the idea of having a pretty drink in my hand. We only have a bottle of whiskey which we love putting in our coffee once in awhile, a bottle of Bailey's I asked hubby to buy at the border but don't remember the last time we drank it, and probably a shot of vodka left.

So I looked up cocktail recipes online, of course we didn't have enough vodka, cranberry/pineapple/orange juice, etc. And during that time I just wanted a really really fancy drink (haha!) I settled on a non alcoholic Pina Colada instead (told you I'm not after the alcohol!) because I knew I have a can of pineapple tidbits and coconut milk somewhere. I retrieved the blender from the basement and just threw in the pineapple, coconut milk, ice and sugar. I chugged it too fast I didn't even take a picture (sorry!)

The next day (with those cocktail recipes) buried in my head, hubby picked up vodka and red wine. Red wine because I want to make Sangria in the near future. Then I went on my own merry way to pick up cranberry, orange, pineapple and apple juice, ginger ale, limes, lemons, strawberries.

And the rest is history...
