Vesper Martini

Yep - 007's martini in Casino Royale.  The Vesper Martini.  Soosie's drinking companion decided he wanted to try one - and he ended up having two.  The bartender didn't know how to make one so Soosie and her boozer boyfriend (BB) looked it up online.  Ha, guess not too many people order them!  Soosie tasted it - STRONG - but she's not a gin drinker.  BB loved it.  And it sure was pretty to look at....

Pom-a-rita

Soosie just *had* to make a margarita to celebrate National Margarita Day! This one is made with Cabo Wabo tequila, POM and lime juice. Cheers!

Venetian Sangria

Soosie ordered a Venetian Sangria at the Wine Bar at Fornelletto in the Borgata Casino in Atlantic City - and loved it!

---Made with Prosecco, St Germain, Lillet, fresh fruit---

Beer Label Fun

Soosie went to a party at a friend's house, a true Beer Aficionado.  He knows beer like no one else.  Soosie brought an old favorite, Brooklyn Brown Ale, and some River Horse Belgian Style Tripel Ale (10 abv!).  Both tasty, although she prefers the Brooklyn Brown.  It soon became a beer tasting event since the Beer Aficionado had invited other beer aficionados as well.  What tickled Soosie's fancy?  The beer labels!  So funny, so clever!  The two in the bottom pic - Clown Shoes beer, Muffin Top and Tramp Stamp - were among her favorites.

Cosmo

Soosie glug-glugged a tried and true Cosmo at the Tuckerton Beach Grille on Comedy Night.

Chianti

Sherry enjoyed some chianti at Carlucci's Waterfront in Mt Laurel, NJ.

Chocolate Covered Pretzel shot

Soosie loves these shots!  She first had one (that turned into several) while in Indianapolis during the summer of 2011.  Easy enough to make, too!  She salts the rim of the glass, but some folks have suggested licking it off your hand like when you do a tequila shot.  It really tastes like a chocolate covered pretzel.  Try it!

Recipe -
1 oz Pinnacle Whipped vodka
1 oz Frangelica
salt

Martini Night!

Soosie had the girls over to her house to "taste-test" some martinis.  Top pic - chocolate whipped martinis. Bottom pic is a key lime pie martini and a pineapple upside down cake martini.  All were VERY tasty.  Cheers!
