Absolut-ly yummy!

Review by Lyndee:

I made an impulse buy at the grocery store the other night.  They had these little bottles of Absolut Hibiskus for $1 near the register.  I don't even know what hibiskus is but being the little adventurer that I am, I gave it a try.  I'm so glad I did.  Mixed it with lemonade and it was delicious.  Would be a wonderful summertime drink as well.  Very light and refreshing.

** Here is the flavor explanation according to the Absolut website. "Aromas of exotic hibiscus fuse with ripe and round notes of freshly sliced pomegranate. Bright layers of fruity and floral flavors burst through a natural sweetness. Shot with a sophisticated tang from the hibiscus" 

Loopy DC

Review by Lyndee:

I received some Three Olives Loopy vodka for Christmas this year.  It’s supposed to taste like fruit loops.  Oddly, it really does.  Who would’ve thought to mix cereal and vodka?  Not this girl.  But who am I to turn down a good bottle of booze?  A few people suggested mixing it with sprite or 7-up.  I didn’t love that combo so Melody and I decided to play around some other options.  I forgot to get a picture but liked it with lemonade.  Keep in mind we were using large solo cups so did 2 shots per glass but if you’re using a normal 8 or 12 oz glass go with one shot if you don’t want to get wasted. 

We had diet dew on hand and thought we’d give that a whirl.

UV cake vodka mixes

Review by Lyndee:

This weekend Melody and I experimented with some new drink recipes.  One bottle on the agenda was UV Cake because we love it and it’s just so smooth.  Instead of putting it with high calorie and sugary juices or sodas, we broke out the handy bag of crystal light drink packs.  First up was a raspberry lemonade. This one tasted like a refreshingingly sweet pink lemonade. 

Next we tried a cherry pomegranate drink pack.  Wow! Although it looked like blood in the glass, it tasted awesome!  It was like eating a dessert through a straw.

Remember, to add water to your concoctions! Not just vodka and crystal light.  Mix the crystal light like you would normally and then serve over ice with a shot of the vodka in it.
