{cheers...with a pineapple flirtini}

 
I came across this drink the other day and thought it would be a good idea to share it with all of you. I am a wine girl but it's good to spice things up, from time to time, with a good cocktail. This Pineapple Flirtini looks so yummy and refreshing! 
 
Here in Miami summer has arrived earlier as usual so I can't wait to drink this "martini with a twist" by the pool. Also, I know what I'm ordering tonight! We are celebrating a friend's birthday at a very popular Irish Pub...and I don't like beer :-)
 
It's Friday! Do we need a better excuse to try it?!? Enjoy it!
 
 



Pineapple Flirtini
Ingredients for 1 serving:
 
1/2 oz. vodka
1/2 oz. Cointreau or Triple Sec Liqueur
1 oz. pineapple juice

1. Muddle the pineapple pieces and the Cointreau in the bottom of a mixing glass.
2. Add vodka and juice and stir with ice.

Hope you have a fabulous weekend my sweet friends! Cheers!!!

  2. Could you send some of that warm Miami weather to "sunny" (?!?) California? We are freezing, and it is supposed to be spring, our warmest season. (Summer is always cold - Mark Twain said that the coldest winter he ever spent was a summer in San Francisco.)
