Maybe it's the dreary weather, perhaps it's the cold November mornings or it could just be a longing for a little something different that prompted this posting. Sometimes life lacks sparkle, fizz or that certain pop and it is up to each one of use to infuse it in our own lives. This is sounding WAY too deep of an introduction to three simple drinks. So without further ado I give you some sparkle, fizz and pop today.

Drambuie Fizz
In a rocks glass
Muddle 6 - 8 lime wedges
Fill the glass with ice
2 oz. - Drambuie
Top with Soda Water
This last one I must give credit to Lori who gave me the idea for this martini. This is a play on the old popsicle I can still picture on the side of the ice cream truck that use to roll through the neighborhood.
Bomb Pop Martini
2 oz. - Bacardi Razz
2 oz. - Blue Curacao
Shake this over ice and strain into the glass.
1/2 oz. - Lime juice
1/2 oz. - Grenadine down the side of the glass so it sinks
Top with Lemon- Lime Soda
Garnish with a cherry in the bottom.
And if you ever need to make one for someone under the age of 21 here is a good non-alcoholic rendition of the Bomb Pop... I know what is this blog coming to? Well here is a little something for everyone.
Bomb Pop Mocktail
Fill a Collins or Pint glass with ice
Pour all ingredients over the ice in equal parts in this order.
1 part - Cranberry juice
1 part - Blue Gatorade or Powerade
1 part - Lemon - Lime Soda
