Holy crap. It has been over 6 months since I've shared anything on my once beloved blog! There have been tons of adventures since my last post in October -- I wish I would have written about them. I declare, that I will get back to blogging at LEAST monthly! Help me keep up, people.
So, I guess I'll start with sharing my new delicious drink creation - Dixie Punch. This drink was created through the result of not having ingredients to make another drink that I planned to try. Thus, the drink was created, and I named it Dixie Punch. Why? Honestly, it was the first thing that popped into my head. It's a delightful summer medley of some classic favorites. And since you all know I love southern things, that probably had something to do with it, too. This drink has become the signature special at my Pinterest Nights and the girls seem to love it! In fact, I dedicate Dixie Punch to Miss Emily Wickham, for her delightful shout out on the Twitter.
Dixie Punch
Ingredients:
Southern Comfort
Triple Sec
Lemonade (made from scratch, OK? That's important)
Take a decent sized pitcher (about 3 quarts I would say) and pour about 3/4 cup of lemon juice into the bottom. Then add about a 1/2 cup of sugar to the juice and fill about 3/4 of the way up with water. Give it a swirl with a spoon (or shake it state fair lemon shake up booth style).
Next take your trusty bottle of So Co (aka, Southern Comfort) and give a healthy pour. I would say probably a cup or so. Then, take your Triple Sec bottle and give about 2 or 3 shots worth.
Mix it all up and serve over ice! Give it a taste first, and add parts as necessary.
I realize this is not a very good recipe as far as measurements and, well, instructions go. My editor friend Lynn and awesome chef inspiration Marilou would certainly have some tips I'm sure, but Dixie Punch is all a matter of taste. Make it your own :)
PS - I have tried to have bartenders create this while out and about, but they just don't get it. Bahaha.
Enjoy!
