DIY May-nia: Featured Project {Week Three}
05/23/2013

It’s that time of the week again, where the host’s from DIY May-nia pick their favorite projects to feature. The theme on Monday was Memorial Day & BBQ. So it was anything patriotic, or anything delicious and I’m pretty sure that Krystle from Color Transformed Family wins the prize, hands down. She made a delicious looking strawberry butter. Yes, that’s right strawberry butter. She got all “Paula Deen” on us, and I’m pretty sure I’d eat this stuff with a spoon!

Thank you to everyone that participated in the link-up! Get ready for our 4th and FINAL link-up this coming up Monday! I should see everyone participating because it’s one of DIY bloggers favorite things: Spray Paint. See you all on Monday at the Spray Paint Challenge!

Vodka Root Beer Float {DIY May-nia}
05/20/2013

Do you know what season it is? It’s adult beverages season!
And what better way to kick off the season, then doing so during the DIY May-nia link party with your hosts Wit Wisdom & Food, The HumberHome Project, Corner of Main and of course, Mailbox Journey! For this challenge, I decided to make a mixed drink concoction that I’ve been wanting to try for awhile… a Vodka Root Beer Float!

Vodka Root Beer Float Mailbox Journey

The first thing I did, was make my straw cute. This was the first time I’ve attempted this, but it came out great on the first try and I just used a post-it note.

Easy Straw Flag

Now, onto the recipe. What you will need is:

  • Root beer
  • Vodka (you could use: root beer vodka, whipped vodka, vanilla vodka or rum)
  • Whipped Cream
  • Vanilla Ice Cream
  • Cup, Straw & An Ice Cream Scoop

Vodka-Root-Beer-Float (5)

Directions:

  • Fill your cup about half way with vanilla ice cream (or two large scoops)
  • Add 1/2 or 1 shot of vodka (whatever your preference level is)
  • Fill the glass up with root beer
  • Add whipped cream onto the top

all you have to do then, is just sit back & enjoy!

Check out all the drinks we mixed up last year: Scarlett O’Hara, Blueberry Lemonade Vodka, Apple Pie, Peach Fuzzies, Liquid Skittles, Red Wine Sangria, Apple Snap and my favorite SoCo Sweet Tea. Or you can find them all on the adult beverages page. Pick A Recipe Out & Enjoy!

& since this weekend is Memorial Day weekend, you could get a little wacky, and try some drinks with unusual ingredients. Like a Pickleback: a shot of whiskey, chased by a shot of pickle juice! Or a drink called a Fluffy Duck. Yes, these are actual drink names in the bars in Atlantic City!
