THE ICEY HOT

 What's worse than chugging a hot shot of tequila? I believe all shots should be chilled! I like to use some fun ice shapes! These ice shapes can be put in any drink. Check out these gun shapes, skulls and bones and also some shot ice cups! These shot ice cups are so much fun!
This Mexican night just keeps getting better... Check out my gun shaped tequila bottle. Going all out for any theme is a MUST!

THE SHAKE IT, DON'T BREAK IT

 "The Shake it, don't break it" can be a martini with any flavor. I missed these two martinis in my mega shaker. Having a fun mega shaker makes mixes any drink fun! Today I made two of my favorite martinis... One with sour mix and the other with lemon drop.
The MIX Guru included:
- 1/2 Lemon drop mix or Sour mix
- 1/2 Grey Goose Vodka

These drinks are very common, but always fun! Some like to add a sugar or salt rim to their martini glass.

THE CLASSY AND SASSY

 Ever feel the need to escape with your girls or even the love of your life? Well "The Classy and Sassy" is a great get-a-way mix that can help clear your mind. Classy wine, frozen grapes and some chocolate covered strawberries is a great way to share a sassy night out with the girls or even a romantic night in with your love!
In the mood for some classy and sassy fun? Start freezing some grapes! I used some frozen grapes to make the wine cooler with a sweeter hint. Also, what can ever go way with chocolate covered strawberries? Some other great ideas would be chocolate covered slices of pineapple or even banana.

THE POISON GREEN APPLE

 "The Poison Green Apple" is a yummy spook-able drink that can add some fun to any costume party. This past Halloween, I made this for all my friends and family to enjoy.

This Guru Mix included:
- 2 oz of citrus vodka
- 1/2 oz of spiced cider
- 3/4 oz of fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 oz of triple sec
- a splash of tequila

I topped this spook-able mix with a hint of cinnamon. Adding some fun decorations drew attention to my guest! As you can see, I threw in some dry ice to add a poison look.
These are two of my brave taster's! Brisy and Delia enjoyed their Halloween... sipping on "The Poison Green Apple" while dressed in their fabulous costumes. Thanks ladies!
