Finally Friday! Strongest Beer in the World!

October 15, 2010

Did you know that Samuel Adams has one of the strongest beers in the world?  Me either!
It’s not their usual Boston Lager…it’s their Utopia beer.  What?  Utopia.

They last produced it in 2009…and it sold for $150 per bottle.  That must be one heck of a beer! 
Not exactly in our tailgating budget.

Finally Friday! Hot Toddy

October 8, 2010

Cooler temperatures have me thinking of warm drinks.
I’ve never tried a Hot Toddy, but everytime I think of one I’m reminded of the Ole Miss chant – Hotty Toddy:
Are you ready? Hell yeah! D— right! Hotty totty! Gosh almighty! Who the hell are we? Hey! Flim flam! Bim bam! Ole Miss! By d—!
It makes me want to avoid [...]

Finally Friday! Pumpkin beer?!?

October 1, 2010

With temperatures hitting below 90…Fall is most definitely in the air!
I thought our drinks should reflect some of the Fall theme…Pumpkin Beer.
It looks like someone else had all the fun did all the work for us!
I need to grab a couple of these for our scarecrow building on Sunday.  (Yes, we’re going to make [...]

Finally Friday! Hurricane

September 10, 2010

Within the next few weeks we will be making our annual trek to New Orleans.
One of the spots that I cannot stay away from is Pat O’Briens.  We love hanging out in the Courtyard and people watching. 
Plus, I love their Hurricanes!!

It’s also special because my husband and I decided 15 years ago…in the Courtyard…that we [...]

Finally Friday! Sake

September 3, 2010

This weekend we’re having some friends over for a Japanese themed dinner party.
We’re serving Sake.  Some people say it’s an acquired taste, but I’ve liked it since the first time I tried it! 

Kanpai!

Finally Friday! Mike’s Hard Margarita

August 13, 2010

I’ve been looking for another go to drink, besides beer.  I’ve started getting a headache when I drink beer (not ”power drinking”…just drinking 1 beer!).
I think I’ve found one!

I tried Mike’s Hard Margarita (Traditional Lime) last night and it was pretty good.  They are definitely on my drink rotation!  I might get crazy and try the peach!  [...]

Finally Friday! Campari

August 6, 2010

When I was in Italy a few years ago, I tried an aperitif    – Campari.

 It was very strange tasting…and I liked it.  My friends weren’t so fond of it, because of its bitter taste.  I do not typically like sweets, leaning towards salty/sour tastes…so this was right up my alley.

 I haven’t had it since our [...]

Finally Friday! Screwdriver

July 30, 2010

Football season is just around the corner…and that means a lot of tailgating. 
Sometimes we like to start the party off early and a screwdriver is just the way to kick it off!  (It has to be weak though…I can’t stand the first drink of the day to put me in the dirt.)
Â
Screwdriver
1 1/2 oz Vodka
6 oz of [...]
