In this episode you’ll learn how to make to make a bubbly Flirtini cocktail. Like a naughty flirt, this sweet concoction is sure to tease that special someone into wanting MORE! Since your and your frisky lil’ friend will be thirsting for a Flirtini, it’s a good thing that this Sex and the City cocktail recipe calls for just three main ingredients; vodka, pineapple juice and champagne or sparkling wine.

It’s believed that pineapple juice has the ability to sweeten a man’s love life. However, this is most likely a sexual urban legend – just Google “pineapple juice myth” to find out more. What is certain, is that pineapples are an excellent source of Vitamins C & B6 as well as the mineral manganese. Pineapple also contains a nifty enzyme called bromelain. Bromelain is said to be a natural anti-inflammatory, pain reducer and digestive aid. So, if you happen to have too much curry on your next hot date, cracking open a can of pineapple juice may be just what the (love) doctor ordered. Ah, gotta love beverages with benefits!

Michelle — Sat, 15 Aug 2009 06:06:07 +0000

Last week on a whim, I tried something new. I created a how-to video for an easy-to-make and delicious summer refreshment: Watermelon Lemonade.

Even Napoleon Dynamite will be jealous of your super domesticated-like skills. And ya know the best part? It’ll take you about five minutes to prepare and doesn’t cost mucho dinero. Even better, now you know what to do with that half-bottle of blush wine that was sorta going funky in the fridge.

Virgin or Hard – DIY Watermelon Lemonade!

Michelle — Fri, 07 Aug 2009 03:30:10 +0000

Wow, the warm months are really flying by and two of my favorite summer perrenials are watermelon and lemonade. This is my first how-to video (well, one that’s NOT a parody) – it’s easy to make (hopefully!), tastes yummy and even yummier when you throw back some vodka with it. For those of you watermelon lushies who enjoy the hard version of this drink, be advised it’s NOT just fruit juice. If your lack of sobriety should result in a drunken stooper here’s a link to a few “tried and true” idiot friendly hangover cures. The bacon one is THE best!

P.S. Almost forgot my little legal disclaimer mumbo jumbo. Please be advised that the hard version is for the 21+ crowd (if you’re in the States). Younger viewers/readers elsewhere in the world – party on!
