Skinnygirl's Margarita

Granted, this is not my recipe. But I certainly enjoy it! Here in Eastern Oregon it is a beautiful sunny day, mid 70's and a FRIDAY! I couldn't resist the urge to hit the tequila!
So, hold onto your sombreros girls (and guys) because this skinny girl margarita will knock your poncho off!

2 oz tequila
.5 oz orange liquor (such as Grand Marnier)
Juice of 1 lime, or equal part lime juice
Ice
Splash of good old water

It is a simple easy make.
Mix all the above in a glass.
Pull up a chair on your deck, lawn, or patio.
Close your eyes and dream you are in Mexico!

Whip Cream Raspberry Dream

It's Friday!! I am celebrating with a drink recipe! And it's a good one, so hold on to your cups!

 

All week I have been hearing about this new "Whip Cream" flavored vodka. Co-workers and I debated what you would mix it with, and we came up with some great ideas, orange soda, jello shooters, milk, diet soda, Kahlua, etc, etc. Well I couldn't resist picking up a bottle after work, and putting it to the test. I might even try it twice for quality control! What? It's Friday!

The best part, at 121 calories and 2.5 g sugar a glass, it isn't toooo bad for you. 1 glass has about the same calories as a microbrew or a big glass of red wine. So all in all, don't feel that guilty for this pleasure.

Without further ado, here's the drink:
1.5 oz Pinnacle Whipped Cream Vodka
1 T Coffeemate Chocolate Raspberry Creamer
Diet Pepsi (or coke)
Pour over ice, mix, sip, then melt into your recliner and watch Real Housewives reruns!

Healthy twist: Leave out the creamer or use skim milk!
