Happy Hour time - Limoncello

Limoncelo is an Italian Classic and Lemon is always a classic for a hot day! You will need: 1 cup of sugar 1 cup of water 1.5 cup of fresh lemon juice 1.5 cup of vodka Club Soda In a small saucepan, bring water and sugar to a boil and stir until sugar dissolves to make a simple syrup. Let cool, then pour into a pitcher. Stir in lemon juice and vodka. Serve over and ice and top with club soda.

Happy Hour time - Summer Cocktails

Summer is almost knocking our doors, so what about a Summer Cocktail? My suggestion for tonight comes from Martha Steweart website: Champagne Punch In order to make 2 you will need: 3 tablespoons grenadine 3 tablespoons Cointreau 2 tablespoons brandy 1 3/4 cups champagne Raspberries, apples, or other seasonal fruit Method: Fill a small ice bucket halfway with ice. Pour grenadine, Cointreau, brandy, and champagne over ice. Stir gently, and ladle punch into 2 wide-mouthed stemmed glasses. Garnish punch with raspberries, apples, or any other fruit in season.

Happy Hour Time - Bloody Mary, Virgin Mary or Sake Mary?

Oh, how i love Bloody Mary and Virgin Mary. For those who doesn't know, Virgin Mary is a "Non Alcoholic" Version of the Bloody Mary. There is another one, that we kind of invented in Brazil, which was a sake mary, meaning instead of Vodka  put Japanese Sake. Is also very very nice. You will need:  3/4 of a glass of Tomato Juice - 1 shot of Unflavored Vodka juice of half lemon or lime 1 dash of red tabasco 1 tsp of worcestershire sauce Salt and Lemon to taste Ice A stick of celery or cucumber, or a lemon wedge to decorate the glass Method: Put all ingredients in a tall glass and mix it up with a spoon. If you are not sure about the measurements, go slowly and fix it by your taste. For the Virgin Mary, just don't add the Vodka. Cheers!
