DIY Cocktails Party*

Ok, so I lied.  Won't be the first time or the last...but it was a good lie.  

I said the next post would be for my Abuelita Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream,

but after my last post I got invited to this fun filled party that I have to tell you about first. 

So of course you understand that Abuelita Chocolate Chunk Ice Cream can wait a bit right?  

I mean look at the pictures and tell me that last night did not look FAB U lous!?

So As you may know I am a featured publisher for FoodBuzz, 

and with that comes many fun filled opportunities.

This one happened to be located at their offices, Federated Media in SF.

Now you don't have to ask me twice for a date night out on the town!

So my husband and I left our kids, tasks and worries at home and set off 

for a perfect night out...

Muddled Madness

Strawberries, Mint & Lemon Juice

muddled with clover honey and Sky Vodka.

That was definitely a sipper  ;-)

After sippin on that for a second I sent the hubs over for a

Grapefruit Drop

Vodka, Fresh Grapefruit Juice, DIY Rosemary Grapefruit Syrup

& Grapefruit Garnish.

Let's just say that WAS A DRINKer!
