Cherry Lime Adult Beverage

The weather here in Michigan can't decide what season it is. I know the calendar says winter, but yesterday it was 50 degrees here, which feels way more like spring. I for one am ready for spring's warmer weather, camping and of course curling up by the campfire.

Unfortunately we are starting to trend colder, so I am forgoing the camping trip, and bringing a little sunshine into the house with an adult beverage. I pulled out the maraschino cherries, limes and vodka, and decided to play. What I ended up with was super yummy.

Doesn't that look good? Before you freak out, please understand that the kids were given virgin drinks without the vodka. When you have a toddler who thinks she needs to have whatever mommy has, you plan ahead for these things

This may be my new favorite drink. It was light and refreshing, and took the edge off my day. I don't make them very strong because I have a low alcohol tolerance, so you can play around with what works for you. Also, I may have the cutest baby bear ever. lol

Let me know your opinion of this drink. 

Cheers to the new year.
