This Raspberry Lemonade Sorbet Cocktail is a very refreshing cocktail made with raspberry lemonade sorbet and vodka.
So I’m sure I will get hate mail but if you are the drinking type, sometimes you just need a drink (spare me the emails about I’m supporting alcoholism like I got last time).
This week I needed a drink.
Or four. 😀
Broke my pinky toe awhile back but didn’t get it looked at because they don’t do anything for toes that aren’t out of place.
Because I compensated for the pain I gave myself plantar fasciitis and tendonitis and so I’m off to the podiatrist next week.
It means I’m on crutches.
This means hockey is on hold for a while. 🙁
Our newest addition, whom we knew had a heart condition, is sadly already in Congestive Heart Failure.
We knew it would be coming we were just hoping for not right away.
We’ve been to the cardiologist once and go back at the end of this month.
Which is why all my meals will be Kraft Dinner. 🙂
She is a little ball of love though.
A good friend of mine had to send her dog over the Rainbow Bridge due to cancer this week.
Her dog was as important to her as crazy cocker spaniel was to me and I’ve been trying to “help” by offering up my experience.
Which means reliving the experience.
And it means my hubby and I have cried a little this week.
And yes these things suck. Overall I have a wonderful life.
I wake up and express gratitude for that. But sometimes I get to say life sucks.
I hate this movement where people are afraid to say life sucks right now.
We are supposed to express gratitude for everything no matter what.
Nope, sometimes I just want to sit a bit with the things that suck and then move on.
And sometimes you need a big ol’ cocktail to sit with when things suck.
A giant glass of Raspberry Lemonade Sorbet Cocktail.
This cocktail involves the yummy raspberry lemonade sorbet I made a few weeks back. These can be as strong or as weak as you like…you know depending on how your week is going.
P.S. It’s a great day to buy my cookbook Holy Sweet!

Your sharing your experience fostering a dog with serious medical issues has caused my husband and I to consider doing the same when our “seniors” are no longer with us.
Peabody says
Awww @Tiffany P. that warms my heart. I’ll be honest some days are very hard, but always rewarding.
Audra Blair says
That flask? Is it yours? A recent acquisition? Must get one!
Peabody says
@Audra- we have had it awhile. It’s from Urban Outfitters
Kelly says
It takes a special kind of person to be able and willing to love an old dog with problems, especially knowing that it might be a short timer. You are so awesome to give her that special home. Having two old pets right now, I sympathize and admire you. <3 And now I need to go back and find that sorbet.
Peabody says
Thanks @kelly we are enjoying all the time we have with her.
Dionne Baldwin says
I’m sorry your week sucked. And I’m sorry for your friend. 🙁 Cheers (as we clink our sorbet cocktails together) and I hope next week sucks a lot less!
Alice says
You’re right – sometimes life just sucks! I hope you & MDP heal up quickly. Enjoy your time with the little girl – she’s so lucky to have you.

Vodka is the best, it makes everything taste good.
I hope things get easier for you

That’s a lot of suck for a short period of time! Glad you guys are taking care of yourselves, and much love to the puppy (they’re all puppies to me).
