This is the perfect summer Diva cocktail...

Ingredients:

• Maraschino cherries for garnish

 Directions:

Add the gin, brandy, lemon juice and grenadine into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.  Shake it up really good, strain into a martini glass and garnish with a cherry.  This recipe will make 2 cocktails...or one very large one depending on how you're feeling that day!

Enjoy!

Making you swagger soundtrack

Our good friend, author, entrepreneur and motivational speaker Marlin Page posted a GREAT VLOG on her Facebook page asking her fans what is your swagger music? You know that song or songs that get you up...get you motivated...get you going?



This got me thinking about my swagger soundtrack because there are a few "go to" songs that I listen to on a regular basis when I need to get things going...rev up that mojo.  I'll post my "swagger soundtrack" in a later post. But in the meantime, share with me those songs that you play when you need a jump start in your day?

We're having a cocktail party and you're invited!

Those Little Touches - Wedding Edition

This week on the show we talked about adding those little touches to your upcoming wedding that will WOW your guest and make your special day truly unique.  In the studio we had Adrienne Crowley Brown, of A. Crowley Fleur stop by to talk about adding those little touches to your wedding with flowers.  Adrienne shared some great things you can add to flowers to make the arrangement POP.  To get more information on A. Crowley Fleur and to see some of their amazing floral creations, check them out at A. Crowley Fleur.

Brett deMarrias also stopped by and shared a virtual cocktail with us this AM as he talked about his innovative company wedit.  Wedit offers it's clients an easy and fun alternative way to capture their wedding/event on video without paying those costly fees of hiring a professional videographer.   The process is quite simple, when you hire wedit they will provide you with 5 HD Flip video cameras; you pass the cameras out to your guest who then capture the special moments of your day; you send the camers back to wedit where they will edit and provide you with a beautiful wedding DVD.  Not getting married you say.  Don't worry because you can use wedit for any event you are planning. Now how cool is that.  And just for our listeners/readers wedit is offering $100 off any package, simply enter the word "cocktails" at the time of checkout to receive this discount.  This is for a limited time so hurry up and head over to wedit to select the package that best suits your needs.  This offer is valid until July 25, 2011.


Last but certainly not least we got to chat about one of my favorite things...desserts!  Sweet Justice is a "cakery" that specializes in traditional and gourmet cakes and cupcakes made of the freshest ingredients and in fun and exciting combinations.  Their cupcakes are custom ordered and baked in small batches to preserve their quality and improve your cupcake experience.  La’Keitha Daniels is the woman behind this delicious business who actually started her professional career as a lawyer who practiced law for years before deciding to trade in legal briefs for butter cream.  Their motto is “Justice is best served when topped with icing!” And I couldn’t agree with her more.  I think I am going to have to place my order for the peanut butter and jelly cupcake along with a few other yummy flavors this week. 

We would live to raise our cocktail glass and give a diva thanks to all of our wonderful guests for stopping by the show today!
