SM Survival recipes!
Summer is coming...brace yourselves for the arrival of seasonal skids.
I'm hoping painthands will post her boozy slush recipe here for us (hint, hint) because I've heard amazing things about it!
Anyone else got a favorite recipe they like to use to help cope?
I don't get fancy, I just drink a lot of "soda" all summer. Yeah, about half booze half soda and I don't put it down so nobody can sniff it }:)
Sometimes I just drink it right from the bottle.

Blender recommendation..
I bought a bottom of the line Ninja blender at Wal-Mart 3 years ago. Most stores have them for about $40. Crushes ice like a champ and doesn't leave you with a ton of water or big chunks.

I make a VERY similar recipe, but with whiskey. The boiling water is a single cup in which you steep 4 tea bags (I use blackberry sage). No sugar, and I add more whiskey.

I occasionally stick nips in my sock drawer with the chocolate. My favorites are the candy bar vodkas,,,that way if I smell like candy I can "confess" to eating a candy bar I bought on my way home from work

I know this link looks hellacious, but it is different wine drinkies. I, myself, cannot drink wine (heartburn). I do adore a frosty Dos Equis Ambar or a nice Hoegaarden with a twist of orange, or a plain old Budweiser....all in the bottle, TYVM. I am more of a hard liquor girl. Fireball, Bacardi, or a cheap ass flavored vodka. Only pay the big bucks for vodka flavored vodka. Love me some Pinnacle Cinnabon. Yummmmm. I take my hard liquor, and put it over crushed ice that has been quickly buzzed through my Ninja blender....I make enough snow for all of the kiddos and my AA DH to have a nice snow cone, and I spike mine with a lil somethin' somethin' after DH has gone to his meetings. He knows I drink, but I do not do it when he is home, and I do not get wasted. It helps that SD is no longer in our home. I also do not kiss him near the mouth when I do drink.
Well, since we are talking
Well, since we are talking about drinks mainly, I love to mix Mt. Dew with Amaretto. If you do it right, it tastes like root beer or Dr. Pepper.
I also like the Orange Pushup drink:
