It's Friday!!!!!!!
That means cocktail time!!! Since were in the throws of summer, and every year I have posted my Adult Popsicle Recipe here, I thought I'd give you two new treasures for you to sip on. Like nectar of the GODS!!!! For my non drinkers...Brazilian Lemonade!!!! You haven't had lemonade until you've tasted Brazilian Lemonade! Get your mind out of the gutter. This Brazilian Lemonade, made with limes is refreshing & delicious!
A delicious and refreshing lemonade that is perfect for the summertime!
Ingredients
3 fresh limes, quartered
1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup sugar
4cups of cold water
Pulse limes, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, and as much water as you can until everything is combined.
3 fresh limes, quartered
1/3 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/3 cup sugar
4cups of cold water
Pulse limes, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, and as much water as you can until everything is combined.
- Pour the liquid through a strainer to remove the chunks of limes. Pour the remaining water (do not exceed the 4 cups) through the strainer to remove any sugar or pulp that was left behind.
3.Stir and serve immediately over crushed ice. Makes a little over 1 quart.
Now for those of you dears that want something refreshing, yet with a kick, one of my favorite afternoon beverages is a Cucumber-Mint Sparkler!!!!
As far as cocktail profiles go, these are on the light,bright and slightly on the sweet side, just like your Mistress. Cucumber is muddled with fresh lime juice, shaken with vodka and mint simple syrup, and then topped with a heavy pour darlings, of Prosecco (or champagne if you’re feeling particularly fancy). You get the cucumber and bubbles on your taste buds first and then a surprising, minty finish. It’s straight-up delightful, if I do say so myself. And when someone comes into plant one on your luscious lips...well, it will be better than any lip balm!!!!
Ingredients
1" piece of cucumber
1/2 oz fresh lime juice
2 oz vodka
2tsp mint simple syrup
3oz Prosecco or champagne
and for the garnish 3-4 slices of cucumber and a spig of mint!
When all is said and done, hopefully you'll have a hunky Brazilian like Erasmo Viana to serve you!!!!
There now...we all lit?!?
I'm making that lemonade this weekend; it sounds dee-lish, plus, PLUS, you can probably drop a little teguila into it for something kickier!
ReplyDeleteAnd the Cucumber-Mint Sparkler is on my list, too.
At one of our local Smallville watering-holes, they make a fabulous Cucumber gimlet, with muddled cucumber, simple syrup, fresh lime juice, and Hendricks gin.
I am not a gin man, but this one is so refreshing!
Your right Bob, I'll bet just a tad of tequila would be good! And that cucumber Hendricks gin I have had, its one of my favorite summer staple drinks.
DeleteI live by a couple of simple rules and one is: Tequila makes things better!
DeleteCheers!
Tequila is evil.
Deletesounds like someone had a rough night once.
DeleteWell, now...those sound positively scrumptious. Perhaps I can convince the wife's Cabana Boy to make a few for us this weekend. If we get drunk enough as we frolic naked in the pool, well, who knows... Have a wonderful, wonderful weekend! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteLike you two need to be drunk. Have a good one yourself!
DeleteOh my sweet Aphrodite!!!!!! Do these ever sound good! I can see I'll be sticking up on lime today at market!!!!!!! I can't wait.
ReplyDeleteRemember, when life hands you limes, get drunk!
DeleteI got my provisions......Im going to try these this weekend!!!!
DeleteHappy Friday!!!!! At least at your lace it will be. These sound amazing!!!!! I'll take one of each, including the guy.
ReplyDeleteA wrestling match with you and Anne Marie. That should be interesting.
DeleteOh, I started two nights ago but I'm sure everyone else will catch up with me very soon after reading this post.
ReplyDeletethe hell with the drinks, I WANT THE GUY!
ReplyDeleteAnd after a few, he can take me!!!!!
DeleteHood Lawd, I know your gay, buy lets get married!!! I can't wait to try those! I both look refreshing
ReplyDeleteI'm flattered, but id have a lot to learn.
DeleteCondensed milk! I never knew that stuff still existed! Has it ever been used as a nipple condiment? Your Brazilian lemonade recipe sounds very sweet and not very lemony, but I'm sure it's great!
ReplyDeleteIts like Mother's milk!!!!!! Not sure why they call it lemonade, since no lemons are called for.
DeleteI'll be right there......hold me one of those delicious beverages and that man!!!!!
ReplyDeleteYou want ME to hold a drink?!?
DeleteI had been wondering what I should do with that can of condensed milk. I had bought a few when I made Tres Leches cake.
ReplyDeleteOH WHAT A SHOCK! The mention of summer libations and a boozehound come arunnin!
DeleteYes, there was a variety of gin last summer but none of these interesting libations. I feel cheated. Time to return to the Casa. And I'll be bringing plastic so that I may sit down. I have not forgotten the seashell photo. At least it was on the chair and not the couch. But the photo made me think exactly what surfaces had your ass or junk been on in that apartment. I'm thinking several because around you, you're Patsy and I'm Edina.
DeleteBy the way, when are we dragging Saffy to Marakesh?
Anything with limes/ lemons and I’m there. This reminds me of a lemon or key lime pie that you make with eagle brand milk, lime /lemon juice and whipping cream. I’m sitting here running my pantry items through my head to see if I have the ingredients on hand. Thanks so much for the recipes. I will definitely be making this !
ReplyDeleteThe drinks so very yum, buy right after I lick the chest of the very hunky man!!!!
ReplyDeleteAdd a little rum and BAM – totally rocking drink!
ReplyDeleteIn in Brazi where I ivel, both types are called “LEMONS” one we call a green lemon, the other a yellow lemon… so hence “Brazilian Lemonade” good, isn’t it?
ReplyDeleteTwo great drinks! I was just thinking I was in the mood for some new drink too. Leave it to you to tie together great drinks, chic vintage and a hot guy! Damn could he be any more pretty???
ReplyDeletePs- And the link to the Adult pops!?!? They sound heavenly!!!!!!
DeleteI'm your clay mold me.........
ReplyDeleteBrazilian Lemonade??? Never heard of it but willing to try it!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThese sound soooooooo damn good!!!!! I can already taste the refreshing flavor. And guy is HOT!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, do these ever both sound scrumptious! The Brazilian Lemonade sound really refreshing, and I love anything with lime in it. What a fun post!
