Spring has finally arrived in Cincinnati after a very long winter! Good-bye snow boots and bulky coats. Hello sunshine and flip-flops! The temperature has been perfect the last couple weeks and I am itching to start entertaining our friends this season with some Honey Grilled Chicken with Strawberry Salsa and ice cold Strawberry Lime Moscow Mules. 

These Strawberry Lime Moscow Mules have a little twist from the classic version, which is using a little less ginger beer and adding in that light Henry’s Hard Sparkling Water for a truly refreshing beverage without the calories that a lot of cocktails contain. It is almost bikini season after all!

Why add Henry’s Hard Sparkling Water to your Moscow mule? 

  • Creates a light, refreshing and down-right delicious cocktail.
  • No sugar with only 88 calories to keep that beach body in check.
  • Low carb with no artificial flavors or colors.
  • Contains as much alcohol as beer but with fewer calories.

Strawberry Lime Moscow Mule

Your friends are all going to love this Strawberry Lime Moscow Mule and it is really simple to make. Start by slicing some fresh strawberries, slice limes into wedges and also some slices for garnish. Mint is a great aromatic and flavorful addition to this drink but completely optional. These Strawberry Lime Moscow Mules are a hit regardless!

Each glass will get one jigger of vodka (grab your favorite), one sliced strawberry, one mint leaf and freshly squeezed lime from a wedge. Muddle all those ingredients together well to infuse the flavors into the vodka.

Fill the glass with ice and one more sliced strawberry, followed by three ounces of ginger beer, and fill the remainder with Henry’s Hard Sparkling Water Lemon Lime. Garnish with a lime slice and mint.

Paloma

Paloma

Today we have a classic Paloma recipe made with club soda, silver tequila, grapefruit soda and a pinch of sugar garnished a lime and salt rim.

Tequila is for more than margaritas! The Kiwi Margarita from a couple weeks ago is awesomely delicious but a Paloma is another great tequila drink that is perfect for hot summer days or even for upcoming Cinco de Mayo celebrations.

To make a Paloma, simply add in equal parts of tequila, grapefruit soda and club soda with a just a pinch of sugar into a half salt rimmed glass. Stir ingredients and fill the glass with lots of ice. Garnish with a lime and you can even squeeze a bit of fresh lime into the drink. I always add a bit more grapefruit soda as a personal preference.

  • pinch of sugar ( about 1 teaspoon)
  • salt

Kiwi Margarita

Kiwi Margarita

Kiwi Margaritas are made with kiwi, fresh squeezed orange, tequila, sweet and sour mix and melon liqueur for a tasty twist on a classic margarita.

Margaritas are one of my go to drink choices. However, flavored margaritas I am a bit picky on because they tend to be too syrupy but these Kiwi Margaritas hit the spot and the kiwi flavor is amazing! The secret? Using real kiwi, melon liqueur and that splash of orange juice!

These Kiwi Margaritas are really simple. Just slice some kiwi, juice a fresh orange and add to a blender with the liquor and sweet and sour. Toss in some ice and blend until you get a frozen margarita. For flavored margaritas, I like to use sugar instead of salt sometimes so rim the glass whichever way you prefer!

Rock Candy ChampagneRock Candy Champagne

My family doesn’t really have any New Years Eve traditions. Typically, we just get together with a few friends or family members and hang out for a bit while enjoying a few drinks while the kids run around. When I was a child, we would always spend the evening with my cousins and watch the ball drop on the television and then go outside and bang pots and pans or set off fireworks. It is time to start some traditions in my house!

This year, I will make this Rock Candy Champagne for my adult guests and give the kids a sparkling juice in a fancy glass with a rock candy stick so they can join in on the fun. We will stay up to countdown the New Year and make a toast!

Black As Your Soul : Halloween Cocktail

Black As Your Soul :

Halloween Cocktail

This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser. All opinions are mine alone. #NightOfTheBat #UnmaskYourSpirit #CollectiveBias The following content is intended for readers who are 21 or older.

Black As Your Soul is a fun Halloween Cocktail made with lemonade, Bacardi Gold and a pinch of activated charcoal for a spooky-good party drink served in a coupe cocktail glass.

Halloween is always a big event around here. The husband and myself enjoy having an adult night out with friends to celebrate.  We don’t get out much after having kids so it is kind of big deal when we have the opportunity.

Since we hosted the Halloween festivities this year, there were a lot of items that needed to be checked off on that ‘to-do’ list, starting with the spirits! The mark of the “bat” is also the mark of Halloween so Bacardi Gold and Superior were my obvious spirit selections. Bacardi are also fantastic spirits for simple drink solutions that will impress the guests and make this Halloween party epic.

Party Decorations

Party decorations are an area that I more often than not go a bit overboard with. I can’t help it! However, you truly only need a few items to make your party look and feel amazing. Some Halloween table liners and a few decorations are it. Hang some bats, place fake spiders throughout the party area and consider one special touch. Also, keep in mind that your party guests will be in costume and be part of the décor and be bringing that edgy vibe.

My special touch today is the chemistry set. Test tubes and beakers are used so my friends can all play “crazy chemist” behind the bar to mix their drinks. Simple but loads of fun for everyone.

Black As Your Soul

Let’s get in that crazy chemist spirit and start mixing our drinks! Prepare a large batch of lemonade or buy it premade, whichever you prefer. Pour the lemonade into a large beaker and make sure you leave enough to the side to refill. Pour Bacardi Gold into test tubes for guests to use while mixing their drink. Place activated charcoal into a little pharmacy bottle. We found some neat ones at the craft store and put a #1542 sticker. Then, wash the blueberries and make the garnishes using blueberries on a toothpick with a sparkling bat on top to bring in a little glam.

Set up your bar area with the test tubes, Bacardi Gold and Superior bottles, beaker of lemonade, activated charcoal, ice, cocktail shaker, glassware and the garnishes.

Black As Your Soul is just a clever name we came up with for our guests. Take it a step further and also name the ingredients to follow the theme. Activated charcoal becomes crushed batwings, the Bacardi Gold is poison and the lemonade is werewolf pee… because it makes people laugh and kick starts conversation.

Hosting Tips

The last thing I want to do at a party is get stuck bartending all night. I want to dance and mingle.  Here are a few hosting tips to allow you, the host, to enjoy of your night with friends:

  • Keep the drinks and snacks simple and uncomplicated.
  • Prepare everything before guests arrive. Make sure there is plenty of ice, Bacardi Rum, clean glasses, place the activated charcoal into the pharmacy bottle, mix plenty of lemonade and have all the blueberry garnishes completed.
  • Place a sign out or write on a small chalkboard with instructions of the parties signature drink, Black as Your Soul,  so everyone can mix their own.
  • Have the bar, the eating area, the dance area and photo areas all clearly marked. Your guests should walk in and know exactly where to go for a drink or food to make them feel invited and comfortable. Also direct them to where the restroom and smoking areas are.

Halloween Edition Cocktail

Simply Made Recipes is a participant in the Amazon Affiliates LLC program. If you click on a link and make a purchase, we may receive a small commission from the sale. 

We have a Bloody Mary recipe today for your Halloween cocktail needs with tomato juice, fresh cilantro, roasted jalapeno, crispy bacon and other awesome garnishes, hot sauce, and seasonings that are out of this world!

Bloody Mary : Halloween Edition Cocktail, Bloody Mary, Halloween Cocktail, #Halloween #bloodymaryI know Summer is still in effect but Halloween is literally just around the corner. Halloween parties will be kicking off here in a couple weeks.

I cannot wait!

I love Halloween. Always have. Aaron, my husband helped me out in the kitchen today for this fun Bloody Mary creation. Perfect for those upcoming Halloween parties or less face it… the morning after the Halloween party to… uh… wake up.

Bloody Mary : Halloween Edition Cocktail, Bloody Mary, Halloween Cocktail, #Halloween #bloodymaryWhat makes a great Bloody Mary?

The right amount of heat and flavor.

I don’t want to drink tomato juice with vodka or be gagged with pepper. A great Bloody Mary is balanced with just the right amount of kick from hot sauce. A stroll through Jungle Jim’s here in the suburbs of Cincinnati put us face to face with a hot sauce we couldn’t pass up : Whoop Ass Bacon Hot Sauce. I kid you not. Who can just walk by that without picking it up? Funny name, cool product bottle and it has a great taste so win, win.

We also decided to add in some heat with jalapeno but not just any jalapeno. We roasted the jalapeno to get that great roasted flavor and also get the most juice from it for optimal taste.

Bloody Mary : Halloween Edition Cocktail, Bloody Mary, Halloween Cocktail, #Halloween #bloodymaryOkay, so we have the heat of a great Bloody Mary handled.

What else sets this apart from a bland ole Bloody Mary?

What makes this Bloody Mary rock is how it is prepared. A cocktail shaker is a must, along with a muddler. The muddler will help get the most from your roasted jalapeno and fresh cilantro. Using a cocktail shaker is going to get the Bloody Mary to that refreshing cold temperature. Yum!

Bloody Mary : Halloween Edition Cocktail, Bloody Mary, Halloween Cocktail, #Halloween #bloodymaryThis Bloody Mary crosses over to Halloween edition with just a couple special touches. One being a fun Halloween glass like these ‘Here for the Boos’. Sure it’s a wine glass but who cares? They are awesome.

Black salt is used to rim the glass. I ordered this black salt from Amazon and had to have it because of its product description alone. I quote, ‘Black salt is a powerful ritual component used in removing jinxes and in keeping away evil forces or bad neighbors’. Kind of perfect for Halloween festivities and something fun to tell your guests as you prepare these Bloody Mary cocktails.

The garnishes are also important for a Bloody Mary and can turn a bleh cocktail into an epic one! I basically want a salad bar inserted into my drink. We have lemon, lime, celery, crispy bacon, roasted jalapeno, pepperoncini, pickle and created some olive eyes. The eyeballs are just a candy eye stuffed into a Manzanilla olive for a creepy final touch.
