Cocktail Hour: The Ponytail.

8.6.2011

Happy Weekend! I have a full day of sketching….thinking of squeezing one of these cocktails in later with some Skyy Infusions Blood Orange… when i mixed this drink, I imagined a girl in a ponytail sitting pretty in a retro cocktail dress at a speakeasy-esque bar somewhere in Brooklyn, so of course I had to include some champagne and rosemary for this fashionista.

Oooh….and some classic Ponytails I love….

COCKTAIL HOUR: PARTY PITCHERS

6.23.2011

Cocktails are always fun to have at a party. But it’s already a little overwhelming as a party host just greeting everyone and making sure there is food on the table.  So I like to have a pitcher or two already made of a cocktail chilled in the refrigerator ahead of time.  And this way people can just help themselves!  Here are some all time classics….perfect for summer!!

Just another dinner with the girls.

It’s all about the special touches. I had fun with this one!

To make the banner I cut tiny little triangles and glued them on a string, then glued the string to lolli pop sticks. And tada, a mini banner!!

cocktail recipe found on drinkoftheweek.com

making big pitchers ahead of time for the guest to pour, always keeps the party going!

Instead of traditional candle blowing(which would of for sure started a fire with my cute lil banner) I made loli pops out of Jolly Ranchers, recipe found here.  Sat them in glasses around the table as decoration(pretty!!), and then when it was time we popped the champagne and made a toast the guest of honor!!!  Tasted just like Jolly Ranchers, such a sweet reminder of childhood! For this one use cheap champagne!
