Cocktails with Sandra or It's Five O'clock Somewhere!


I recently watched Julie & Julia and loved the movie and thought I should blog about something like that (who hasn't after watching the movie!).  I really didn't want to cook my way through a cook book, then I was watching my favorite show Semi- Homemade Cooking with Sandra Lee ~ the light bulb went off!  I love how she makes a meal and also pairs it with a cocktail.  I found my muse!  I'm going to skip the meal preparations and just showcase her fabulous cocktails! 

So here goes, only one a week, not everyday, or I might be blogging from rehab!

Week 1:   Hula Girl Cocktail



The ingredients are for a punch bowl portion, so I pared it down for two {one for you and one for me!}.
                                                       
I used Bacardi Dragon Berry Strawberry Rum (someone had recommended to use this in the comment section - and I couldn't agree more).  I put all the ingredients in the blender and poured for us. 
                                 
                                           
I've never been a rum fan, however this Dragon Berry rum has won me over!  This is sooooo good, try it! 

You can also make this for the kids, just remember ~ omit the alcohol!

                                       
I topped them off with the frozen strawberries. 

This Hula Girl Cocktail would be a great drink in the summer or winter or maybe that next Bunko party!  They would be even better if you were sipping them in Maui!  Enjoy & *Aloha*

  1. I loved that movie too! It made me want to Bake and blog about it! However, I have yet to find a good book, I'm trying to save money right now not burn it (or shall I say "bake" it) :P and I'm quite sure how fun of a blog that would be anyway!

    I absolutely love yours though and check in every day to see what new and exciting things you're creating!
