Thirsty Thursday

BarAIDS Hits Philly!

Not like I need an excuse to drink, but today’s BarAIDS event is perfect for Thirsty Thursday! The AIDS fund raising event began in Chicago and this year, makes its debut in Philly. On Aug. 26, several local bars and coffee shops will donate a portion of drink proceeds to local organizations that provide AIDS [...]

Desperate Houswife

So, it’s not Thirsty Thursday, but I so enjoyed this cocktail, I wanted to blog about it right now! I’m calling it the desperate housewife because I concocted it the other night when I realized late in the evening that we were out of tequila (gasp!)
I typically have a bottle of something lying around, but [...]

Get The Skinny

Thirsty Thursday is back! I know I’ve been leaving you all hanging for the last couple of months, but I’m starving myself watching my figure before the wedding and the MexiMelt challenge has kicked it into high gear. Not to say that I’ve stopped drinking (heaven forbid!), I’ve just kept my drinking to a specific [...]

Cinco de Mayo Sangria

OK, I know that Cinco de Mayo was technically yesterday, but I’m guessing there are a lot of people out there for whom partying on a Wed. night may not be an option. But that’s no reason to miss out!! If you put this month’s Thirsty Thursday cocktail together tonight, it’ll be perfect by the [...]

Easter Sweetini

Hoppy Easter, everyone!! In honor of the holiday, I am pleased to present you with this month’s Thirsty Thursday recipe. Many thanks to SPF friend Catherinette Singleton for her fabulous creation, the Peeptini. That’s right, I said peep. I know I’m typically pushing the natural foods, but even I have my weaknesses and peeps are [...]

GET OUT!!!

No, seriously, for this month’s Thirsty Thursday, get out of your house. If you live in the Northeastern part of the nation, you’re probably thrilled with these warmer (for now, 40s is warmer) temperatures and sunny skies. After months of being stuck inside and the potential for one more snow storm before we get to [...]

Fallen Angel

Planning our destination wedding is making me long for the tropics. So, this month’s Thirsty Thursday is margarita-inspired. It’s adapted from of the book my future in-laws gave me for Christmas, Highballs High Heels: A Girl’s Guide to the Art of Cocktails.
Ingredients
3 ounces clear, 100% agave tequila
1 oz. Agave nectar
1 1/2 ounces lime juice
2 ounces [...]

Lemon Ginger Snap

It’s the first Thirsty Thursday of 2010 and I had to wrestle with the idea that right now, everyone is trying to detox from the holidays and doesn’t necessarily want to indulge. So, I have come up with what I believe is an inspired idea: a cocktail version of my classic detox tea. It contains [...]

Mango Madness

I admit, I screwed up. With the excitement of going to the Daily Show and yet more family drama, I totally missed Thirsty Thursday last week. My apologies.
In a feeble attempt to make it up to you, I present you with the first-ever Toasty Tuesday. I served this one the afternoon of the Phillies’ World [...]
