Christmas Drinks

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Mine was filled with food, family, friends, fun, games and gifts! The one fabulous thing about this year that I have to share is all of the new drinks I tried. For those who know me, I either drink wine or gin. This year, I really outdid myself with letting people give me new recipes. Here are my new favorites:

Blueberry Vodka & White Cranberry Juice

It is the perfect summer, refreshing drink!

The Cream Soda

2 Shots Vanilla Vodka
Fill with Ginger Ale

Yum! This seriously tasted exactly like cream soda. Even my Nana drank her glass clean!

The Italian Margarita

4 fluid ounces amaretto liqueur
6 fluid ounces frozen limeade concentrate
6 fluid ounces tequila
1/2 cup orange juice
 Ice

Pour all ingredients into a blender and puree until smooth.

All I can say about this drink is that Italians really improve everything ;)

With love and pearls,

The Best Holiday Feeling

There is no better feeling then after you have finished your holiday shopping and know you got the best and coolest gifts possible. I am literally jumping out of my chair after getting my boyfriend an awesome pair of cufflinks. I know, some of you are thinking LAME, but they are made out of pieces of famous stadiums. For one, he loves dressing up more than being casual. We live in Philadelphia and he is a die hard Phillies fan. They used to play at Veterans Stadium before it was blown to bits. It is such an iconic stadium for all Philadelphia sports fans. I found this deal on Groupon but you can check out stadiumcuffs.com. They have a bunch of other stadiums listed too.

Ok, that's all for now. I just had to let everyone know how excited I am. Enjoy your holiday shopping and I hope you get the same feeling I just did!

With love and pearls,
Ashley
