This Winter Sun Cocktail Cooler is full of citrus flavors and, of course, vodka with a hint of rosemary it will sure brighten up your day.
When the weather guy is saying you are going to experience an “atmospheric river” you need this Winter Sun Cocktail Cooler.
Full of citrus flavors and, of course, vodka it will sure brighten up your day.
Yes, that’s right, our weather is being called atmospheric river because it’s just sheets and sheets of rain coming down for what they say is the next few days.
This is the rain I think everyone thinks we get year round…even though we don’t.
We normally have drizzle.
This is build an ark and hope for the best kind of rain.
Speaking of hoping for the best, I am still being marked as spam on Pinterest!
Almost every blogger I know that was also marked as spam has gotten this back…but not me.
Sigh.
So you will be seeing a lot of citrus based drinks since I’m trying to bring something bright into the gloomy Pacific Northwest!
This one was called Winter Sun and that name alone attracted it to me….well that and vodka. 😀
And last but not least it’s a great day to buy my cookbook.

Such a cute drink! Sometimes when it’s dark out you have to make your own sun. And sometimes that sun is a cocktail 🙂

Morning Peabody!
This is just the ray of sunshine I need on my Monday morning at work! I work in a mine, so it’s probably all the sun I will see today 🙂
I reported your status to Pinterest and requested they removed the “SPAM” status. I hope they fix it for you soon.
Have a lovely Monday 🙂

Hey Peabody!
I hope this post comes through, mine usually don’t when I try to comment. Just wanted to let you in on a bit of boozy wonderfulness, if you haven’t tried it yet…Deep Eddy Pink Grapefruit Vodka. It’s good on it’s own, but mix it in a little lime juice with some pineapple juice, then just top it off with either a little club soda, or if you’re really feeling sassy, either grapefruit or lemon shandy…down here in Tucson we call it a Flamingo Flip (when we are drinking them in the Flamingo Lounge…aka my porch). That stuff is seriously killer, girl! And it’s really pretty pink, too!

@Kim- it went through now…you must have gone to spam. I’ll have to find that vodka.
