Last lesson, you learned how to concoct a New Moon, a mysterious, glow-in-the-dark, gin libation. Now this mocktail is for vampire fans of all ages.  Get ready to become smitten with a naughty yet nice non-alcoholic tipple named Bitten.

Yeah, sure, it’s a kiddie cocktail but don’t let this blood red beverage fool you.  She has a sassy yet sweet bite and is loaded with health benefits thanks to her pomegranate juice and coconut water. For you drinkers who enjoy a more boozy beverage, spike this modern Shirley with some gin or vodka (or both!).  Now has come the time for you to drain this doozy of a drink dry and enjoy!  Muah-ha-ha!!!

Another Saturday and another seriously sexy libation: the Mojito. Guess what? It’s so easy to make that it’s certain to wow that “special someone”. 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 the ingredients won’t cost mucho dinero. This refreshing tropical drink comes from Cuba and has been a hit seen the 16th century. After all, it’s a sexy gentleman’s drink that both James Bond and Ernest Hemingway favored! So, now it’s time for you to get in the kitchen, bathtub, your car, under your office desk or wherever it is you get on your down and dirty drink mojo. Salud and drink responsibly!

P.S. For those of you who enjoy a lush life, remember Mojitos aren’t just mint, lime and sugar juice and downing too much may cause your motor skills to crash. 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!  For those of you who prefer your beverages sans alcohol, the Mojito makes for a delicious virgin cocktail too!
