Cucumber Ginger Martinis

For as much as I love sweets, I don’t prefer sugary drinks. I don’t chose cocktails with fruit juices {danger of a headache!} but drinks with ginger or ginger ale are my first choice.  And I love the clean flavor of cucumber– it’s so cool and refreshing. This martini by Sugar and Charm sounds like all of my favorite things — and something I need to make.  Yum!

Cucumber & Ginger Mini-Martinis (recipe is for one mini-martini)
3 slices cucumber
Juice of 2 lime wedges
1/2 teaspoon agave sweetener
1 ounce ginger-infused vodka (I like Skyy or you can make your own beforehand)

In a cocktail shaker, muddle cucumbers, lime juice and agave until the cucumber is completely crushed. Add in ice and pour vodka on top. Shake vigorously until ingredients are mixed. Strain into a mini- martini glass and garnish with a cucumber wedge.

Summer Drinks

To help cling on to the last moments of summer {as you know I am} I put together some of my favorite cocktails. Some from bars, some from my own kitchen, but all delicious. These drinks got me through the summer…and then some.

Margarita {tequila, fresh lime juice, simple syrup,triple sec, a dash of beer}

Glamourous @ the Mandarin Oriental {Bombay Sapphire Gin, Grand Marnier, Galliano,  rose syrup, fresh lemon juice}

Elderflower Spritzer@ Busboys & Poets {St. Germain, vodka, muddled strawberries and lemons, champagne}

Paloma {grapefruit soda, silver tequila, fresh lime juice}

Seeing Green

Even as I get pulled into faddish colors (gold, purple, turquoise), green is always my go. For decorating, dressing and events, you can’t go wrong with green. Pretty much any shade will brighten my day.

 

Do you have a go to color? Tell me your favorite! xoxo
