This cocktail can be made with the white liquor of your choice – gin, rum, or vodka. The floating pomegranate seeds really make this drink a star attraction!

Rob’s Cachaca Rum Cocktail
Here’s another refreshing Simple Celebration cocktail recipe. Cachaca rum originated in Brazil. Vicki had it during her trip to Vietnam and Cambodia where it was served in every restaurant. Bring this exotic flavor home for your next happy hour!
The Panther (a.k.a. The Rhino)
We went to a great little Speak Easy in Tampa which is known for their vintage cocktails. Skip loved the drink called “The Rhino” and convinced the bartender to give him the recipe (Skip can be very convincing). We renamed it “The Panther” as a nod to the Florida panther. You most likely do […]
“Liquid” Apple Pie – A Fabulous Fall Cocktail
Put cinnamon and apple together and you have the wonderfully warm flavors of fall. Add some rum, and it’s a party! This cocktail seriously tastes exactly like apple pie. We believe the cinnamon schnapps is the key ingredient that makes it fabulous. Make this your “signature” drink at your next fall gathering, everyone is guaranteed […]
Skip’s Simply Grand Vodka Gimlet
This gimlet was the “signature” drink at our recent 200th blog party. It has a clean, crisp, refreshing taste and started the party off with a BANG!
Simple Summertime Sangria
“This is the best white sangria I’ve ever tasted!” exclaimed Vicki’s husband, Skip. It’s true, this sangria recipe turned out better than we expected. Oftentimes white sangrias are too sweet, but this is deliciously crisp and fresh. Make a pitcher (or two) for your next summertime get together.
If You Like Piña Coladas …
We do! These are very simple to make (only three ingredients). They follow our margarita recipe ratio: 3 – 2 – 1.
Tuk Tuk Martini
While visiting Siem Reap, Cambodia, Vicki and Skip went to dinner in a Tuk Tuk. This is a common way for tourists to navigate the crowded, busy city. They are called “Tuk Tuk’s” because that’s the sound the motorbike makes while it pulls the cart. What does that have to do with martinis? Actually, nothing […]
Grape Passion Martini
Give this Grape Passion Martini a try, it’s been called “the best cocktail ever” by some very experienced drinkers!
Creamy Moose Milk Cocktail
Moose Milk has been served at our neighborhood holiday parties for years and everyone loves them, but BEWARE – this is a very potent cocktail and if too many are consumed, there will be consequences and repercussions! One more word of advice, if you want to make another batch, but have run out of vodka […]
Low-Fat Citron Cosmo – Cheers!
We recommend this cocktail not only because it looks festive and tastes great, but it is lower in calories than the original cosmo recipe.
Mango and Mint Martini
Mango and mint add something unique to this martini recipe. Make sure you use a very ripe mango. Cheers!
St. Pete Sunshine Martini
There are several steps to this recipe, but the refreshing taste is well worth the work for this unique libation. A cocktail shaker and wooden muddler are needed to make the drink. Chilled martini glasses are the best way to serve a St. Pete Sunshine. Simply put ice water into the glass for a few […]
Magnificent Manhattan on the Rocks
Dash of bitters 1/2 oz. of sweet vermouth 2 oz. of bourbon Maraschino cherry garnish This is another cocktail from Skip. We thought it was a very “American” drink and will help to round out your simple celebrations during this 4th of July holiday weekend. Put ice in a short cocktail glass. Pour in alcohol […]
3-2-1 Hit the Floor Margaritas
The origin of the 3-2-1 in the recipe’s title refers to the proportions of the liquids required, however, over time, it has been modified to make a pitcher full. We added hit the floor to the title because they are potent! This recipe requires lots of fresh limes, but calls for no sugar or syrups, […]
