This recipe was introduced to me this weekend by my sweet friend, Michelle. These are the best margaritas I have made and we enjoyed them at the pool. You must try this!

They are so easy to make:
Equal Parts of....
Tequila
Frozen Lemon Lime-aid mix
Corona
Lemon Lime Soda



Just stir up all equal parts and serve on the rocks....

Sooooo delicious and the fiz makes them even more refreshing! A new poolside tradition!

Cheers to weekend margaritas by the pool and great company!

Friki Tiki

After a seven day work week, Tipsy is ready to relax in all the right ways!

My dear co-worker, on Friday of Memorial Day weekend, saw all the boats in a row on her way to work. They were, of course, ready for the river and full of laughter. The most memorable boat, just had to be, "The Friki Tiki" and though she had to curse as she passed them because, like me, she was on her way to work while everyone else on the 10 freeway was on the way to the river, I just had to invent a drink to erase my memory of work on Monday, my long awaited day off work!!!

Here is that gem, and boy did it work!

Muddling some raspberries, then I ran them through a strainer to get those seeds out of the equation!





I started with Ice, Vodka ( I know, I love vodka-honestly,to anyone else White Rum would taste better, so feel free to substitute) and then added GUAVA PINEAPPLE juice...my new obsession!

Then I added the fresh raspberry juice that I made, stirred and topped with whipped cream and some coconut that I toasted in the oven. It tastes like Hawaii; just what I needed to forget about a long work week and put the friki in the tiki!


So delish!!

A hibiscus from my front yard completed the look! Thanks to the hubs with the green thumb!

Ahhhh! So refreshing! Ready for some pool action!





Cheers to a happy Memorial Day! Hope you all had a great one!

Pre-Meditated Beverage

If any of you enjoyed the Rum Delights, you will want to try this sly little beverage asap! What I liked most about it is that you have to plan ahead and wait 24 hours before indulging in this Sweet Peach Iced tea that is plenty special on it's own.


Start with 5 juicy peaches or nectarines (I did about 50/50 to get a mix of the peach flavor and the texture of the crunchy nectarines)



Slice them up nice and thin and soak in the fridge in 3 cups of vodka.

Try to sleep while this sweet little number is sitting in the fridge all night getting delicious!

In the morning mix 4 cups of peach iced tea (instant or Snapple will do the trick)

Add 2 cups of pineapple orange peach mango juice (or just orange juice if that is what you have)

Add 3/4 cups peach schnapps

Toss in some fresh berries of your choice (I did blueberries, but next time raspberries)


Serve on ice at the pool and make sure that if you need to be somewhere you have a designated driver.


CHEERS MY DEARS!
