Going to a cottage this long weekend to sip cocktails by a shimmering lake? That's fantastic! While you're doing that, I will be cleaning out my garage as my kids splash around in our classy micro pool/toy bucket. Sigh.
Here's something to make this stellar weekend even better. It's a slacker secret, so don't spread this around...
The Palm Bay Breeze is the tastiest, fanciest, EASIEST cocktail ever! Friends will think you went to a lot of trouble and expense when, in fact, you did next to nothing (which in my opinion is just plain smart entertaining).
Ingredients: Palm Bay Vodka coolers* (they come in a six-pack for $11.95 at the LCBO and come in a variety of flavours—Ruby Grapefruit sunrise is my favourite), pre-washed berries, ice, and a muddler or a wooden spoon.
No need to transport a bunch of bottles to the cottage. A few berries and a few (or MANY, if you're stuck at home clearing out a stinky garage!) coolers, and you're ready to roll!
Muddle (mush) a few berries in a glass.
Add ice, fill the glass with the cooler, and stir. Instant fancy cocktail without any fuss!
Cheers to happy long weekend everyone!
