dreamsicles and fuzzy navels

Yum... I'm going to a martini party this week where everyone brings a different type of martini and everyone samples it. Basically, a bunch of girls sitting around drinking froo-froo shots. Last year, the Blueberry Martini won by a landslide! Could be because it was the 15th one and everything tastes good after 15 shots! Anyway, this year I looked to the internets to help me find a good drink. I found a recipe for the Dreamy Martini and had to try it out over the weekend - to make sure it was good. And it was! Tastes just like a creamsicle. I think what made it even better was that the kids were at Grandma's for the night. Here's the recipe:

1 part vanilla vodka (I used absolut)
1 part triple sec (use grand marnier for a high-end drink)
4 parts orange juice (I used pulp-free valencia)

Shake with ice and serve in chilled glasses. Mmmmm...

And since I had leftover OJ, I decided to add some to my morning smoothie today. The result came out tasting like a fuzzy navel! So good! Here's how you make a Fuzzy Navel Smoothie:

1 banana
1 peach
1/4 pineapple
1/2 cup (or more) OJ
1/2 cup (or more) soy milk
water, if desired
baby spinach - fill up the blender!

Blend and enjoy! Tastes like the real deal, but won't leave you with a headache in the morning!

Happy, healthy drinking!
