Drink recipes...Finally!!

Well my plan to post the drink recipes the next day did not work out so well. Whitney and I both got colds a few days apart and then tests creeped up all in the same week. So here they are:

Classy Cricket

4 oz. Pineapple Juice
1 oz. Creme de coconut
splash of cranberry juice
2 oz grenadine
Maraschino cherry

Add all ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well and pour into glass. Add cherry for garnish.

Mai Tai

4 oz Mai Tai mix
4 oz Club Soda
splash of grenadine

Pour mix and club soda over ice in a glass. Mix well. Add a splash of grenadine and let it sink to the bottom.

First Mocktail Party

Well with Halloween also came our first mocktail party. Whitney really wanted a Halloween party and I really wanted mocktails so we decided to combine the two. We did not have the amount of guest we would have liked, but my brother Craig, his girlfriend Brynn, and my sister Brie at least showed up. I made a variety of mocktails and the most popular were the Mai Tai and Classy Cricket. I think we will have to work on the Cosmo recipe a bit because it was way way too tart to drink. I think the trick will be more Cranberry juice and less Lime and Lemon juices. But I will post the recipes for Mai Tai and Classy Cricket tomorrow. We also had strawberry margaritas, but I put them in the freezer too late and then we forgot about them. So needless to say Whitney and I will be having a lot of margaritas this week. We also have a lot of mocktail ingredients left over because we were planning on about 13 people but only 5 showed up. So yeah we are pretty popular haha. But it was still a lot of fun and I can't wait to do another mocktail party in the future.
