Blushing Lady Cocktail

The last few weeks have been a bit stressful… which means I need one of two things – a one way ticket to Tahiti or a cocktail.

Well, since the one way ticket to Tahiti isn’t gonna happen.. a cocktail it is!

And since I have been very disciplined this week, I can splurge a little.

My cocktail of choice this week? A pretty little cocktail that’s not too sweet. Pomegranate liqueur, vodka and pink grapefruit juice makes a perfect bridge between the heavier drinks of winter and the light and frothy concoctions of summer and that has a cute name to boot… the Blushing Lady.

And of course one must have a little nosh to go with a cocktail….

Ah, Salmon Rillettes would be lovely….

Or even this Mahummara Dip would would be good..

Ah, the possibilities are endless… and I’d best stop because I am making myself hungry!!

So, here is hoping you have a “stress free” weekend!!

Cheers!!!

I’ll take two please and since I’m just offering a Colorado wine alternative this week because an appetizer is the star of my post, I think I’ll link you up for anyone that just HAS to have a cocktail suggestion. Pomegranate liqueur and grapefruit juice and lemon vodka…wow that sounds wonderful!

I say take two cocktails – or what ever it takes to get you tipsy enough to book that trip to Tahiti! Looks delicious.

Great flavors! I don’t like my cocktails too sweet, so this one is for me. I love grapefruit and pomegranate.

Could you ship one of these over to Georgia? I could use a nice little cocktail this Friday afternoon.

Those all sounds great Nancy, and love your photos. Beautiful! I’m not much of a cocktail girl, but this I would definitely try. Looks and sounds both refreshing and relaxing. Hope you get to de-stress! You know, Tahiti is only an hour flight from LA
