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!!!
Ingredients
- 1 oz Pomegranate Liqueur
- 2 oz. Lemon flavored vodka
- 1 oz. fresh pink Grapefruit juice
- 1 lemon for garnish
Instructions

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!

All of this looks so wonderful for a party! Gorgeous presentation 🙂
Sign me up for a cocktail……or two!
Oh Sweetie you so deserve one!! I’ll be happy to come over and bartend for you anytime!!
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.
This looks so lovely and refreshing!!! What a great recipe!
Happy stress-free weekend to you!
Could you ship one of these over to Georgia? I could use a nice little cocktail this Friday afternoon.
YUM!!! this looks so refreshing 🙂
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 🙂
Love the name of this cocktail, Nancy! I hope you got some R&R time.
Sounds delicious and refreshing! A great cocktail for the season!
