happy hour: cocktail (link) party

hello mavens!  and happy friday!  i thought it would be fun to host a little cocktail party since the weekend is (almost) upon us.  link up to share your favorite cocktail recipe : )

as you probably know by now, i'm a vodka girl.  my all time favorite is a well-mixed cosmo (from bobby's), but when i'm in the mood for something a little lighter (i.e. healthier), my go-to is vodka + club + splash of cranberry.

2 oz vodka
5 oz club
1 oz cranberry juice

serve over ice & garnish with a fresh lime wedge and voila!  refreshing perfection.  recipe video {here}.

cranberry fizz cocktail

you know that i love champagne cocktails.  they are my all time favorite.  any time i see a champagne cocktail on a drink menu i have to try it.  there's just something about its bubbly goodness that makes any drink more festive and more delicious (in my humble opinion).

i love champagne cocktails all year round, but the lightness of champagne with its subtle fizz is beautifully suited for summer.  here's a little drink i came up with - hope you like it!

the great thing about this simple recipe is that you can multiply it for a crowd to create a lovely champagne punch!

cheers!.
