Saturday Sippers in The Locker

Saturday Sippers in The Locker

Ahoy Fellow Fathomers! Welcome to the feature here in The Locker called Saturday Sippers. Each week I’ll post a new skinny cocktail recipe for you to try. Many thinks to my Cali Bestie, Rhonda, for providing me with the deck of cards recipe book. J

Blah blah blah, yes, you heard most of this last Saturday, and the big day came and went, I’m still cool. The sequel to my pre-birthday Saturday Sipper happens now. Soooo, my birthday fell smack dab in between two Saturdays. How lame was my birthday on a Wednesday? – ONLY AS LAME AS I WOULD HAVE ALLOWED IT TO BE! -Does this mean I get to celebrate both weekends, as the timing is equitable? I say Yes! To properly recognize such a monumental event as a birthday, I present my ten honorable mention favorite drinks. Some of these are alcohol free because I can’t be blotto all the time. I drink water daily, trying for at least the recommended 64 ozs, but, I won’t include that on the list, because, it’s a gimme.  

10.  Chocolate banana shake from Braums

9.  Coors Light, I prefer a bottle to a can

8.  A good red wine blend from the Russian River Valley

7.  7-up

6.  Blueberry Red Bull, found it at 7-11

5.  Mojito

4.  Throwback Pepsi

3.  A nice crisp Moscato (don’t be a snob cause it’s sweet wine)

2.  The Pink Stink (not sure you can handle the recipe)

1.  When The Husband makes and brings me a cup of coffee
