Drink of the Week! Lynchburg Lemonade

THIRSTY THURSDAY. Time for a TCD drink of the week! (But let’s be real, we don’t need it to be Thursday to find an excuse to make festive drinks.) 💁

Due to the simple fact that I live in Tennessee, it’s pretty much still summer and I refuse to drink anything but whiskey… And why shouldn’t I?! Why not throw some good ‘ole Jacky Daniels in the mix! As long as you keep your sh*t together, you’re golden. Cue our drink of the week: Lynchburg Lemonade. Or in other words, the perfect boozy lemonade to polish summer off with.

Here’s what you kiddos will need…

Shopping List:
Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey
Sweet and Sour Mix
Cointreau (Triple Sec)
Sprite Zero (Because really, who likes calories…)
Fresh Lemons, Limes and Oranges

Get a big pitcher- The more the merrier, obviously.

And, we’re just going to eyeball this because, quite honestly, I don’t need a measuring device to tell me how much whiskey I need… Am I right people?!

INGREDIENTS:
1-part Jacky D
1-part Sweet and Sour Mix (I substitute meddled oranges with lemon and lime juice for the freshness!)
1-part Cointreau
4-parts Sprite Zero

Mix it all up and then cut your lemons and limes, and stir them in!

Put ice in some glasses, and pour! Garnish with lemons and limes and you’re a Lynchburg Lemonade pro!

And when you’re south of the Mason Dixon line, when we say pour into glasses we mean generous pours into large mason jars. 😉

Drink up!

Drink of the Week! Serrano Chile Margarita

It’s thirsty Thursday, so you know what that means… Time to quench your thirst with a little bit of alcohol!

With summertime in full swing, let’s turn up the heat.

TBT to how Nelly put it back in 2002, “It’s getting hot in here (so hot), so take off all your clothes.” This drink ain’t too far off from that definition. To be honest, this spicy serrano chile margarita can make you do just that.

I keep it simple & to the point- aka shot glasses are my measurement.

INGREDIENTS
– 1 or 2 shot(s) of Peligroso Silver or Peligroso Anejo Tequila (Do 2, don’t be a b*tch)
– 2 shots of fresh squeezed lime juice
– 2 shots of simple syrup (So yeah, none of us own simple syrup so here’s how to make it: Bring equal parts of water & sugar/Splenda {if you’z a skinny betch} to a boil. For example, 1 cup water & 1 cup sugar/Splenda)
– 2-5 Serrano peppers (Cut these and use to garnish your drink, or use jalapenos/baby red peppers if you’re a p*ssy and can’t take the extra heat)
– Sea salt for the rim (if you’re feeling feisty add some chili powder to the rim as well)

Look at you go hottie (LITERALLY).

 

FYI, this drink is best made if you let the cut up serrano’s marinate in the tequila for a day or two before using. Then you have spicy tequila good to go! But if you’re in a hurry and want it quick, use these ingredients, cut up some peppers and toss a few into your glass!

SPIT FIRE MY FRIENDS… Or keep that to yourself until you get home.

CHEERS!

Tequila Makes Her Clothes Fall Off

Every girl has had a tequila infused night in college where she was referred to the next day as “THAT girl dancing on the bar.”

And to that I say, you go chick! Hell, you’ve had country songs written about you! In my book, I’d say that’s killin’ it.

Everyone is allowed to let loose every once in a while, especially when you’re in college and have an excuse like you just aced that impossible chem test (or in my case, when you just think you f*&^ing kill it and deserve it!) And what better way to do that than with TEQUILA?!

There is really no better feeling than that sizzle when tequila hits your lips. As for those of you who prefer vodka, I seriously question what’s wrong with your taste buds, it tastes like nail polish remover.

On top of tequila being the tastiest of them all, it is also the HEALTHIEST (as if that’s a concern when on a bender). But seriously, it has been proven to lower cholesterol (dissolve fats), optimize cardiac functions and aid in digestions. Doesn’t sound bad to me!

So, if you’re looking for a go-to drink, you don’t want to look like a lush, and you’ve graduated from vodka sodas at the local bar, grab yourself a skinny marg and be MVP of the night! Or you know, just skip the marge and head to the shots! If you’re going out big you might as well skip the fluff and get to the good stuff. Tequila, lime and salt baby!

[Note: To be the crowd pleaser at a pre-party, blend together this beautiful elixir– Herradura Reposado, Lime Juice, Triple Sec, Soda Water, Jalapenos and Cucumbers]

That said, happy Tequila Tuesday betches! Make us proud 😉

T-Rexs, Donuts & Pretzels, OH MY! Float On This Summer

 

Ladies & gentleman, summer is upon us! It’s almost July if you guys haven’t already noticed. The sun is coming out, and clothes are starting to come off. Just how we like it.

Hopefully you have already started on your summer bod so you can jump in on the fun too. But, if you don’t want to dive in and get wet and would rather lounge out like a kardashian with a drink in hand, I’ve got some fun for you too.

Honestly, I’d say that it’s trendier to be on top of the water rather than in the water this summer.

As a matter of fact, I’d say that Summer 2015 is about being on top of the water, rather than in it. And if you’re having a pool party, an empty pool without floaties is like brunch without alcohol- SAD.

If you don’t believe me, just keep reading for a bit. You may find yourself hoppin’ on the bandwagon, or should I say float.

Let’s just say kids don’t understand the struggle we went through of only foam noodles and rubber tubes. Nowadays, you want it, you name it and there’s probably a floaty of it.

So first we got Funboy floaties. Funboy just launched their line of luxury inflatable pool floats last month. We’re talking black swans, pegasus’, white swans and flamingos. Yes please!

How about some more creatures from fairytales, or even from the latest blockbuster. Jurassic World or How to train your Dragon 2 anyone?! We’re talking T-Rexs & Dragons people! And they’re favorite snacks- Pigs & Cows.

Now, since we cant indulge on all our sweets and fatty foods this summer (because we need to maintain our summer physique -DUH), why not lay on them? You’re not cheating, I promise. Go on and indulge my friend, INDULGE. You want pizza? Done. Pretzel? Done. Tootsie Roll? Seriously?! YES. Just DONUT get carried away. 😉

Or, Slimline has made some for those wanting to stay healthy…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wait, there’s more. YES, MORE. If I had my way, I would own them all. Overboard? Nah, I’ll stay a-float and keep DUCKing around.

And for those of you who want to pretend your floating in the ocean with some crazy cool creatures like you’re the little mermaid or something, we got more floats for you too. And you can even find these fab floaties at your local grocery store! I found some of mine at Albertsons! And AMAZON.

 

 

 

 

And for all you emoji lovers…

So you know what to do now…

GET IN THE WATER!

I’m all for this trend because I’m sick and tired of all the thoughts I have while jumping in and out of the water: Do i look like a wet dog? Should I flip my hair to be an instant Victoria’s Secret model? Or will I lose an extension? Did i just get a wedgie? Did I just flash a tit? Do I have cellulite shaking/showing? Am I blinding people with my whiteness? No more. Low and behold, your problem SOLVED. You’re welcome.

Just try and stay on top of it… The water that is.

Float on betches.
