What time is it? Mixology time!
Did any of you see that Huffington Post article about the adorable eight-year-old who had a fantastic Hamilton themed birthday party? Uh, we were super jealous when we saw this and looking for a reason to have a Hamilton party. Thank you, YA Summer Showdown for giving us a reason to do this! And giving me a reason to wear my shirt that combines two of my favorite things - Hamilton and grammar!
First off, some of the decorations -
One of the main things our book club likes to focus on is food! We love an excuse to eat. And this is where the puns really peaked.
These brownies were the best thing ever.
The My Shots were an amazing Biscoff creation.
But on to the reason for the partyâŚ
Look at that table full of fun! Raise a glass to freedom, indeed!
We made a variety of delicious drinks. Here are a few.
First off, a couple A.Ham drinks -
the Red, White & Booze
1 part raspberry vodka 1 part sparkling pomegranate Izze 1 part tonic water twist of lemon
Serve over ice. Stir and enjoy!
Founders Fizz
shot of gin shot of lime juice 5 or 6 raspberries
Shake with ice. Pour into a glass, add a splash of tonic and a dash of cherry bitters.
The Lightning Thief
1 part tequila 1 part pineapple juice 1 part grapefruit juice
Shake with ice. Serve with a twist of lime.Â
Our best drink was our Manic Pixie Dream Girl. We went with Sam Dutton from The Perks of Being a Wallflower.
3/4 cup (ish) Ocean Spray Cranberry-Peach Bellini Mocktail shot & a half Tanqueray splash of tonic dash of grapefruit bitters
Shake with ice. Garnish with grapefruit and lime.
Just like Sam, a sweet and mature drink. The lime garnish is a nod to Samâs green eyes.Â
After drinks and food and some book club talk we took a bunch of silly pictures.Â
