POM Cello-Rita

Remember a couple of weeks ago I posted my Cello-Rita recipe?  I had come up with the cocktail for a contest that my friend Courtney over at CocoCooks was holding and guess what?  I won!!!  Yay!  Thanks so much Courtney!  Expect to see a lot more drink recipes when I receive the book I won!!!

It’s summer and we spend A LOT of time in and around the swimming pool.  My youngest swims probably about 3 times a day sometimes more.  Here are some pictures of my youngest and our crazy Golden Retriever who really thinks he is one of the kids…

Crazy dog swimming under water!  He really thinks he is one of them!

Last Sunday I was chillin’ in the pool.  A necessity in the hot and steamy days of summer here in South West Florida when T. walked out of the house carrying a nice cold drink for me!  When asked what it was he told me to guess.  I took one long sip of it and I knew instantly and it was delicious!!!

POM Cello-Rita

2 parts of Tequila El Conde Azul Blanco (or your favorite tequila)
1 part Limoncello (homemade preferably, thanks Jenn!!!) 
2 parts of your favorite margarita mix
1 part POM Wonderful (hopefully supplied to you by the generous folks at POM Wonderful!)
squeeze of lime

Shake all ingredients and serve over ice.

This is delicious with a salt rim or not. But should be enjoyed on a hot summer day either on the beach or by the pool! Bartender optional but highly recommended!

As Always…

Happy Entertaining!!!

I won, I won!!!

I just wanted to give a quick shout out and some link love to a couple of my blogging friends. I seem to have had an incredibly lucky weekend and not one just one giveaway but 2!!! What are the chances of that happening????

The first one I heard about was an incredible beef giveaway from La Cense Beef that was hosted on my friend Robin's blog at Caviar and Codfish. Apparently they have the best to offer in grass fed beef. I can't wait to compare it against the grass fed, local beef that we have been lucky enough to get. I am really curious to find out whether or not the taste of the meat is different depending on where and what they are grazed on.

The second one was a book giveaway that was on Jo's site at The Adventures of Kitchen Girl. This one was another one that I entered based on my ethical and responsible choices towards meat and seafood. She was giving away a book called The Cook's Essential Companion-Fish Without a Doubt! Living here with my year round access to incredible seafood I am sure this book will become one of my favorites!!!

Thanks so much girls!!! I will be checking my mail daily...I am so excited!

As Always...

Happy Entertaining!!!
