Cheers to a Citrus Crush Martini! Years ago at th Cheers to a Citrus Crush Martini! Years ago at the NC farmers market I had what they call an Orange Crush. It’s a darling little stand that you choose which citrus you want freshly juiced then they pair it with a little simple syrup, soda water, and a maraschino cherry! I can’t get enough of them, even though I’ve only had 2 “real” ones in my life. With that lovely tale in your mind, let me tell you about the martini version. It’s the best! Fresh citrus juice. Iced cold Vodka Sweet Simple Syrup Tangy Grenadine. It’s a match made in heaven, and makes the winter days a little brighter! Mix this up when you need a little refresher! Here are the ratios: 1 part Orange Juice 1 part Lemon Juice 1 part Lime Juice 2 parts Vodka 1/2 part Simple Syrup 1/2 part Grenadine Mix it all in a shaker, and shake, shake, shake! Strain into whatever glass you prefer and enjoy! Want to make this for a batch cocktail for a LOT of people?! Grab a bottle of OJ, a bottle of lemonade, and a bottle limeade. Mix those with 750ml of vodka and a jar of maraschino cherries! Add it to a drink dispense with citrus slices, and you’re ready to rumble! . . . #… #cocktailrecipes #easycocktailrecipe #summersips

✅ 3 Appetizers that make you look like you know ✅ 3 Appetizers that make you look like you know what you’re doing… Everyone loves a cheeky nibble that’s homemade. It puts the EXTRA in ordinary for sure! If I had to choose my top three appetizers to serve anytime, any place, this is the lineup: 🥇 Pimento Cheese — everyone loves it. And when it’s good, it’s real good. My recipe is a little labor of love. But, you can make this 4 days ahead of time, and it will be sensational! 🥈 Maui Onion Dip — it’s a simple dip of sour cream with caramelized onions, salt, and pepper. Yep! You read that correctly, 4 ingredients! Serve with crispy kettle chips and fresh veggies to really make your appetizer pop. 🥉 Mama Leah Dip — it’s another quickie! Sour cream, Rotel tomatoes, ranch powder. That’s it! You serve this with crispy, salty tortilla chips and a tart margarita! Which one are you making first?!

Rotel Dip. Taco Dip. Whatever you want to call it, Rotel Dip. Taco Dip. Whatever you want to call it, it’s GOOD. ((And there is no velveeta!))

Also, there is one elite american cheese, and that’s all I’ll say… When it’s Taco Night, Game Night, Porch Party time, or anything in between, this cheesy hot dip is the thing you need to serve. 🌮 Taco Meat. 🍅 Rotel Tomatoes 🧀 Pimento Cheese (Shoutout to @queencharlotte!!) 🇺🇸 American Cheese (the right brand.)
