Blue Ghost

 

At the end of February I shared a review for the Krista Davis yet-to-be-published title, The Diva Goes Overboard that you can read here. Today I’m going to share with you a recipe from the previous book in the series, The Diva Delivers on a Promise. Davis includes recipes at the end of all of the books, many of which I have tried having read every book in the series of 17. This book had a cocktail recipe that I absolutely could not resist. More dessert than cocktail, this will be one libation you will never forget.

Blueberry Cosmopolitan

 

This week’s cocktail is another beauty. The color blue here is so lovely, thanks to the combination of Curaçao, and an ingredient new to me, blueberry juice. It’s very refreshing on a hot day, and this past week has been HOT! Easy to prepare, just shake everything together in a cocktail shaker with a lot of ice, strain, pour, and enjoy.

Here it is served in a vintage martini glass that used to belong to my parents. Be sure to pin the picture so as to save the recipe to your cocktail Pinterest board.

Holy Water

 

There were a couple of things that attracted me to the cocktail for this week. First of all, the color, is that not a gorgeous color, I ask you? Imagine how beautiful it would look on a table set with sea tones. This one, for example. Gorgeous! Second, it made use of the peach schnapps that I had bought for some mysterious reason, as well as citrus vodka, ditto. This drink is potent. So, don’t suck it down like you’re having an iced tea. Otherwise I doubt that you’ll see the conclusion of your movie, book, or anything else that has served as your evening’s entertainment. Don’t ask me how I know.

The recipe is on the top photo. Pin it and you’ll have it forever. I used bottled, sparkling French lemonade, and it was wonderful. Feel free to use anything that you like including Squirt or 7-Up. Wonderfully refreshing.
