Girlie Drink of the Week

Posted by LC Aggie Sith on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 in BOOZE!!

TODAY IS MARDI GRAS!!!!!!!!!!!

Eh, not that I have plans to do anything anyway, but some of y’all may be enjoying festivities. Beads are fun to catch and earn. So I hear.

This week’s libation is a tribute to the main Mardi Gras color, the one that carries through the Lenten season, PURPLE!!

purple martini

Bewitching Purple Martini

  • 3 oz. Vodka
  • 1½ oz. Cranberry Juice
  • ½ oz. Blue Curaçao
  • ½ oz. Sweet and Sour Mix
  • ½ oz. Seven-Up Soda, or similar

Pour the ingredients into a cocktail shaker with ice and shake gently. Add more blue Curaçao if the color isn’t purple enough. Serve in a martini glass rimmed with sugar.

I look forward to drinking something other than this. If I’m giving up liquor for Lent, I want to drink something that will leave a good memory for the next forty days and nights :D

    I remember the Lent when I skipped Lent. We had an Ark party. For 40 days and 40 nights we drank and caroused in relays from Fat Tuesday until Palm Sunday morning.
    I won’t have one of those. It looks like something a Martian drank yesterday.
