To Kim Mitchell with love

Tonight, we were a Wild Party (Rah Rah Ole) at the Kim Mitchell concert. We are a lot of feathers, but not much chicken when we sit under the Patio Lanterns and sing. Kim said "Be Brave, Alana loves me", so we jumped up and said "You're the lemon, I'm the Tequila - let's go dancing cuz I wanna feel ya". This was too much for us so we had to Go for a Soda...2 boozes and some milk.  The music transported us back to Rockland Wonderland, it was so much fun that we just had to Go for another Soda...2 boozes and some milk.

Try this mixture and raise your glass to Kim!  
We are still working on the perfect name for this drink.

1/2 oz tequila
1/2 oz triple sec
1 oz Kahlua
fill your glass three quarters full with milk and top with coke

4 star rating

The Tequila has an important presence, yet it does not overpower the beverage, it was easy to tame.

Are you Spring Cleaning?

Glennis is currently away; however, I have been told that the key to a successful blog is consistency.   So the show must go on, and today I will blog without my Editor G to review my post.  My son, will be my interim assistant and is helping with color effects and fun. 


If you read this, post a comment and let's have some fun and test Glennis - let's see how many of you will read this post before she does.  

First off, I have to tell you that I am so excited that you are reading our Blog.   Last week I received my first phone call from one of our Blog Observers asking for clarification on one of our recipes.   She loved the Vanilla Bear and the Deckalyzer paralyzers and is waiting for more awesome recipes.   If you loved them too, please post your comments and share our Blog with your friends.  

Unable to do any new research this week (because it's just not something that Glennis or I do without the other one), I have decided to share with you a recipe from my notebook.   We were not going to share this recipe with you until we could recreate it and take a photo; however, I am thinking that it is the perfect drink for this beautiful weather.    You're going to want to get out in the yard and pull some weeds, and if it rains, you will likely take that need to clean into your kitchen.  The Fruit and Nut paralyzer came about one night when we decided to clean out the booze cupboard.   You know how you get all those bottles with little bits of booze and you just don't know what to do with them....well try this one.   We were going to call it Spring Cleaning, but once you taste it, you'll know why we did not.  

Fruit and Nut          4 stars

1/2 oz Triple Sec
1 oz Apricot Brandy
1 oz Caramel Baileys
Milk (fill your class 3/4 full)
top your glass up with Coke

Yum!  This combination has a prominent nutty flavor with a hint of caramel.   It's like something you would pick out of a box of chocolates.   We amazed ourselves with this one, it is delicious.


On second thought...we decided to add a photo.  Drawn by Nash - showing just how happy we were when we drank these.  

Have a great weekend everyone!  Celebrate all those little things that make you smile, you deserve it.

We bring in a new Jury!

Angela and Samantha set out to join us on our paralyzer adventures.    Check out the smiles...they are loving our drink combinations.   Angela is drinking a Kahlua and Blue Raspberry paralyzer - she gives it a 4 star rating.   Samantha is drinking Kahlua and Bubble  Gum Vodka and gives it a 2 star rating.


We are still working on the perfect combination with the Bubble Gum Vodka; it has such a dominant flavor that it is a difficult one to partner with. Thank you Sam for working so closely with us. More Vodka, no coke, club soda - we tried many combinations with Sam's favorite choice being 1.5 ounces vodka, milk and coke.  If you want to lessen the distinct flavour of bubble gum, you can put in an ounce of regular vodka.   


The night ended off with one of our new favorites - the Vanilla Bear paralyzer.   Angela said it was definitely better than the Blue Raspberry paralyzer she had earlier.

The Deckalyzer



Also known as the Deck Chair Analyzer!    Sip this paralyzer while you sit in the sun, and you are sure to ponder life's greatest moments.

Now that you've gone out and purchased some Vanilla Vodka because you had to try our delicious Vanilla Bear, you are going to want a few more recipes.     Our Deckalyzer is made with  1 oz Vanilla Vodka, 1 oz Baileys, Coke and Milk.    It is a smooth, creamy paralyzer that drinks quickly like chocolate milk.   If you love Baileys, you'll love this drink.

Mmmm, mmmm delicious.  
This is by far one of our most FAVORITE recipes.  It's simple, delicious and easy to make over and over. 


1 oz Vanilla Vodka
1 oz Kahlua
add milk until your glass is 3/4 full
top up with root beer
  
Creamy, vanilla-eee, and tastes like another.

Raspberry Cloud

1 oz Creme de Cacao
1 oz Raspberry Vodka
fill your glass to 3/4 full with milk
 pour in some Sprite
 and add a sploosh of Coke to enhance the flavor

   That's right, we did have two sodas in this one...getting a little crazy on you.

Paralyzers get Blended!


Delicious! Glennis LOVES mojitos, so our very first BLENDED paralyzer was a mojitolyzer.  We started with some mint chocolate chip ice cream, blended with milk and fresh mint leaves.   Divided that between two glasses, added an ounce of rum, and ounce of Creme de Cacao to each mug and then topped them up with club soda.   Try it, you'll like it!!!  Fun for those warm sunny days.
