Life is good. However, this is really what I’d rather be doing today:

Here or here    

And you’d find me in either place with a glass of bubbly in one hand and a coconut popsicle in the other.

But hell, it’s Friday. Which means I can make it happen in no time.

Happy weekend to you all. Anyone got big plans?

This Wino Wednesday post was inspired by a belini, which is a beautiful combination of peach and champagne.

While I was in Dallas, Texas we visited a restaurant that featured this frozen beverage. I finally broke down and had one. Hell, it was only $1. If you’re wondering what a belini is, I’ve provided an online recipe. I don’t “cook” so I can’t vouch for this one.

I was telling a friend about my drink choice and she was quick to say, “Oh, yeah! Dallas is famous for those.”

I’ve heard of popular drinks in different regions of the world. Sangria in Spain. Tequila in Mexico. Cosmopolitans in New York City. Mojitos in Cuba. Irish coffee in well, Ireland. Even beer in Germany.

But frozen belinis in Dallas? Who knew!

What signature drinks do you know about? Please share it so next time I travel, I’ll know what to order.

Wino Wednesday…this weekly feature is designed to share my wine related stories.

This Wino Wednesday post was inspired by an affordable bubbly mixed with Chambord.

I was dropping off a gift to my friend who was celebrating her birthday. Apparently that was a reason enough to pop a bottle of bubbly. She offered. I accepted. I’m a good friend like that.

We added a splash of Chambord which is a French black raspberry liqueur. The best part of this goodness…the sweet flavor and the beautiful bright pink color.

We enjoyed. We visited. I left.

Afterwards this innocent little beverage caused a chain of events.

Clearly drinking bubbly with Chambord caused me to eat crap for dinner, primp in an attempt to get pretty, sit on my ass and drink more. Perfect. This is clearly now my new evil drink.

Cheers to evil goodness.

What does drinking make you do?
