Good morning, how are you today? Are you in a party mood? Well, I am. It’s Friday and let’s celebrate. Oh, do you know Father’s Day is coming soon. Have you got that perfect drink ready for the man in your life? This cranberry margarita cupcaketini is a recipe in my family for Christmas. But I guess my hubby won’t mind it on any other day. So why not make it for a date night for the weekend? Or celebrate it on the coming Father’s Day? Good idea, I would think.

To make these margaritas, you need a cocktail shaker which is the best way to make cocktails. Check out my favorite cocktail shaker here on Amazon. Make sure you fill the cocktail shaker with ice and all the ingredients and really give it a good shake. The result will be totally satisfying. Without a shaker just won’t be the same.

Green Apple Shamrock Juice

An apple a day keeps the doctor’s away. This is so true and this is the reason I love apple juice. Whenever I have a chance to buy apples in the fresh markets in boxes, I would love to make these green apple shamrock juice. So refreshing and energizing. Have a hard day at work? Why not have an apple juice made by yourself? Or just finished gym? Have this juice will definitely make you happy.

I also love the cookie cutter used to cut the apples. Such a nice shape. Perfect for the drink. How many cookie cutters do you have in your kitchen? I have plenty, which is not surprising. But I am always happy to get one more pair of cute cookie cutters and I love these ones made by Wilton which is always reliable and classy. Check out details on Amazon here.

It’s such a great idea for St. Patrick’s Day, and a nice poolside party for the summer! So refreshingly delicious! Enjoy and have a nice day.

Orange Soda Float Cupcaketini

I used to drink soda water all the time until a few years ago. Then I switched to water, to be on the healthier side. Truth is, I still adore soda. OK, I adore cocktails more, and red wine, too. What’s best to wash down that savory cupcake with a glass of red wine? But for everyday drink, soda was my go to drink when I was younger.

Add orange soda, with a gallop of my favorite vanilla ice-cream, listening to that sizzling sound when the ice-cream sinks and melts down to the bottom of a glass, and the white, creamy, fluffy bubbles start to oozing out. OMG, I love this drink. It looks great and has my favorite orange soda and ice-cream. Check out the recipes and instructions over at bravetart.

Or simply, get your bottle of Fanta ready, scoop out a ball of your favorite ice-cream, and enjoy. I wouldn’t mind a drop or two of whiskey if it’s later in the day but that’s just me. Love soda water? You got to try them with ice-creams. Enjoy and have a fantastic day.
