Blue Hawaiian Tropical Bucket Cocktail
Anyone else dreaming of warm weather and sunny days? I have a case of the Winter Blues and am thinking back to a fun summer weekend where we made “bucket drinks” to enjoy on a pontoon ride. If you aren’t familiar with “bucket drinks”, they are cocktails made in plastic buckets…. like a jumbo, fruity cocktail. And they are delicious! We made Blue Hawaiian Tropical Bucket Cocktails. As the name states, they are tropical… and full of booze and fruit juice and garnished with some fun fruit, candy, and glitter. We actually made them multiple weekends in a row after finding the perfect combination of each ingredient, and let me tell you, I’m craving a pontoon ride, sunshine, and a jumbo bucket cocktail right about now 😊 The recipe can be found here. You will need 32 oz plastic beverage buckets. You can find them on Amazon (click here) or perhaps a local party supply store. Make sure to wash them before … Continue reading

Starburst Infused Vodka
Occasionally during the winter, I start craving warmer weather, fruity cocktails, and a beach somewhere tropical. Who doesn’t? But we live in MN and that’s not a reality this time of year. To curb the winter blues, I sometimes make fruity cocktails at home to feel a little more cheerful about the amount of snow outside 😊 I’m going to share with you 2 new cocktail recipes using Starburst Infused Vodka. You read that right…I infused vodka with Starburst candy. It was super simple and didn’t take any effort to make but patience is required to allow the vodka to sit for a few days. The cocktail recipes can be found here: Cherry Limeade with Starburst Infused Vodka Strawberry Lemonade with Starburst Infused Vodka You want to start by infusing the vodka. Use a fairly nice vodka because it’s literally 2 ingredients: vodka and Starbursts. And you want to enjoy the cocktail, not feel like you ordered some … Continue reading
