Real Cocktails.... Not Skinny Cocktails

REAL COCKTAILS  Not those Skinny Cocktails

YAY.... I found a few more possibilities of cocktails I can drink.  It's hard to find tasty cocktails that I can actually drink and enjoy.  I can have dark rum... but I really don't want to just drink straight rum.  I mean... some of my readers may enjoy that!!  But, this girl doesn't care for the taste.  

Prior to my hashimoto's diagnosis I was introduced to Moscow Mull's.  There are a few variations to this drink, however I found a way to make one that I can drink!!!  

Meg's Moscow Mull

2 ounces of (grape distilled) Vodka

6 ounces ginger beer

1 lime, jucied

1 tablespoon agave nectar

fresh mint

How to make Cocktail Meg's way: 

add Agave Nectar in a glass with fresh mint.... smash mint leaves with the agave to blend the flavors. Add the 2 ounces of Vodka to the mix.  Place a few ice cubes in the Copper Mug and place a strainer over the mug.  Pour the vodka, agave & mint mix over the strainer (so the small mint pieces so fall in the copper mug).  Add the ginger beer & 1 lime to the mug.  Stir & garnish with lime wedge & mint sprig if you wish!! 

(if using this copper mug you will need to double it... the mug is pretty big)

Best when you drink in a Copper Mug, but not necessary!! 

I found Bombora Vodka at Total Wine.  The bottle was about $16.99-$19.99, but I was able to get it on sale for 14$. If you are a berry person you can make this drink the same way and add a few fresh raspberries to the glass when smashing mint.  This adds a great berry flavor to the drink.  

Organic Sangria

I was so excited when I found this company that makes and bottles a sangria I can drink.  

This is what you see when you go to their website.  And guess what??  It tastes SO YUMMY!!!  The website is: http://eppasangria.com/

A few weekends ago we had a BBQ and I got 4 bottles thinking I would put 2 out for the BBQ and keep 2 for me.  LOL... we drank all 4 bottles that weekend with friends.  IT WAS THAT GOOD!!!
