FRIDAY COCKTAIL - BLACK AND BLUE GINGER!

July is National Blueberry Month.  It seems summer leaves whisky behind and focuses on sangrias, lemonade and vodka and sweet teas.  Don't forget the whisky and the blueberries.

Ingredients:
3 oz whisky (Maker's Mark)
10-12 fresh blueberries
8-10 fresh blackberries
12 oz ginger beer
ice
mint and lime wedge for garnish

Combine whisky, blueberries and blackberries in a blender.  Puree until almost smooth.  Place a handful of ice in two glasses.  Pour half the whisky mix in each glass and add 6 oz of ginger beer to each.  Garnish each with mint and lime.

CELEBRATE BLUEBERRY MONTH!
ENJOY!

FRIDAY COCKTAIL - FROZEN WATERMELON MARGARITAS!

For our dear dear friend Brian!  While it may seem odd to blog a cocktail today, Brian would hate that I did not.  He loved to follow my escapades and cocktails on Facebook.  You are already missed so very much!

Ingredients:

1-1/2 cups cubed watermelon, pureed
1 cup tequila
1/2 cup lime juice
1/2 cup orange liqueur
1-2 TBL confectioners sugar
1/2 tsp salt
3 cups ice
garnish, lime wedge and orange slice

Put all in a blender and pulse until it is a slush.  Garnish with a lime and orange wedge

LOVE YOU BRIAN!
ENJOY!
