Black Velvet Cocktail

We are going to try to keep an Irish type theme going this week (even though my Asylum is on a Mexican kick right now).

So today's is an easy drink mix

Black Velvet Cocktail
Half Guiness
Half champagne

That's it!

Red Jelly Baby Beverage

So I am a huge geek. I love Doctor Who! I've seen every episode made (all 50 sears of it). I recent learned that they started to show reruns on the Disney Channel and it is killing me. I hate it...sorry moving on. So I thought I would share a Doctor Who beverage recipe. This way you can get the ingredients before the weekend. ;) Sorry to say you will have to time travel with the Doctor or order jelly babies online. Just know that they will take at least 2 weeks to get here and they will not be nice and soft like they would be if we could buy them directly. Now that being said, I love them! I have to hide them from my kids.

Red Jelly Baby

1 oz cherry vodka

½ oz triple sec

½ oz grenadine

¼ oz peach schnapps

4 oz Sprite

Measure all alcohols and grenadine into a mixer with ice, shake well, add Sprite, and serve in a highball glass either up or on the rocks. Garnish with Jelly Babies.*
