Peaches and Lemons and Chiffon oh my!

Woah! My sincerest apologies for the lack of blogging. These past few weeks have been insane. With Thanksgiving madness, work, and indoor colorguard, it's been rare that I've even looked at my laptop! But I have been testing a few drinks to post about :)

This past August, Harrison and I went to Vegas for a nice end of summer vacation. It was my 6th and final summer marching drum corps and we wanted to celebrate in a big way. When we were walking through one of the casinos, we noticed a liquor that was hard to pass up. Some of you may have seen the wine named Cupcake. They have an array of spirits and recently released a line of vodkas. They have flavors like Frosting, Devil's Food Cake and Lemon Chiffon. Though they all sounded amazing, when we were recently in Joe Canals, I decided to pick up the Lemon Chiffon flavor. This vodka is very bright and sweet, it really does embody the taste of a really nice lemon chiffon, which happens to be one of my favorite desserts.

I was contemplating what to mix this with when I saw a bottle of Peach Bellini mixer. Typically a Peach Bellini would be made with peach puree and sparkling wine. While at Target a few weeks ago, they had flavored italian soda on sale so we picked one up. For this particular drink I did not add any, but I think they'll add a nice taste to the drink in the future. So this is my take on an old fashion drink.

Chiffon Bellini

1.5oz Cupcake Lemon Chiffon
.5oz Pinnacle Whipped
2oz Peach Bellini mixer

This drink can either be shaken and served up, or in a lowball glass.

What, did you think I would make a drink without Pinnacle Whipped? It's just too perfect! 

And aren't our martini glasses beautiful? When we were in Vegas, I surprised Harrison for our anniversary with tickets to see Cirque du Soleil's LOVE. Which was incredible and I wanted to buy everything in the gift shop. For some reason, these glasses were made specifically from designs within the show, but the store was giving them away for $1 a glass. Which, nothing is that cheap in Vegas, so we didn't really believe anyone at first. Thinking back, we should have bought more than two but it was scary enough to travel with what we had, I would have hated for anything to have been broken. 

I promise to try and keep more on top of this, get ready for some holiday drinks!

Ps, if you would like to see a blog for a particular alcohol you're not sure how to use, or what you have in the house that you'd like to make a new use of, please comment and let me know!
