Pop The Top on Ciroc

Hello Friends and Happy Friday Eve!

Last week at Pockets Discount Liquors they had a taste testing of Ciroc‘s new flavored Vodka, Amaretto.  I had previously purchased a bottle but never opened it, so I was curious as to the taste – ooooo it was nice and smooth!  I’ve had the Peach flavored Ciroc but like the Amaretto better, it’s not as sweet which makes for a better mix and it would also be good straight over ice.

I am not a big Vodka drinker and I need some cocktail ideas…so you know I had to check out my “cuzzy’s” Vlog.  Here she is making her “Thank You Lawd” Cocktail, which I might try using the Ciroc Vodka…and a few other ingredients!

Do you have any cocktails recipes you want to share?

Linking up with Katherine’s Corner today.

~ WINERS WANTED ~

Are you a Winer – do you like trying new Wines – if so, I want your Wine Winning recipes!

I am not a wine connoisseur nor do I don’t spend a lot for a bottle of wine.  I am a sucker for a deal and love fun colorful bottles, and this is where I shop on FriYays after work.

Smirnoff Ice has a new flavor Peach Bellini, although not a wine, it is one my summer favorite drinks

 Last weekend I added Peach Bellini Ice to Talenti Alphonso Mango Sorbetto and topped it with Whipped Cream

Schnizzie – A Sparkling Vodka Cocktail

Fri-Yay~Fri-Yay~Fri-Yay

The best day of the work week!

One of my Friday night rituals is to stop at Pockets Discount Liquors in New Castle for a bottle of Barefoot Sweet Red wine. This evening was no exception, however, tonight they were hosting a taste testing. Shannon Heinz, proprietor of Schnizzie Vodka was providing samples of her newly released Sparkling Vodka Cocktail.   Schnizzie is an all natural, sparkling cocktail made with premium vodka infused with real strawberries, distilled from sugar cane and sweetened with light agave nectar.  It is gluten free and made in New York, my sample was poured over ice but can be consumed chilled without ice.

Schnizzie is the first Sparkling Vodka Cocktail on the market but the quality can be compared to Ciroc or Van Gogh Vodka. Shannon has had several taste testings throughout the state and more information can be found on her Facebook page, www.Facebook.com/schnizzie. Packaged in a cellophane bag makes it a perfect holiday gift or in my case a great drink while decorating the house.

Goodnight and remember to always drink responsibly.
