360 Triple Melon Soda – A Melony Summer Cocktail
July 21, 2010 - Written by DianaThe further into the Summer you go, the hotter it gets, and the closer you are to melon season. Melons need the heat to ripen and become sweeter. I’ll share a secret that the best watermelon my husband and I ever had was on our honeymoon in South Carolina. We love to find a good ripe melon with just the perfect amount of sweetness and as you’ve seen before adding melon to our drinks is one of our favorite ways to consume it. 360 vodka, the one in the good green bottle, sent us a melony drink that looks really delicious. Try it out and let us know what you think.
360 Triple Melon Soda
- 2oz 360 Vodka
- ½ cup Honeydew Melon
- ½ cup Watermelon
- ½ cup Cantaloupe
Directions:
Muddle the melons gently in a cocktail shaker. Add 360 Vodka. Fill with ice. Shake sharply and strain into a martini glass with a melon base. Top with soda and enjoy!

Fourth of July Fireworks Cocktails
July 3, 2010 - Written by DianaMy husband’s family was always big on doing the fireworks display though the clean up is always a problem since you can’t find the dead fireworks until the next morning since it’s pretty dark when they’re done. Growing up my family attended fireworks at Battery Park in NY, and later local parks. I think I like this way of celebrating the fourth with alcoholic fireworks instead. I’m content to sit on the side and sip a firework while I relax. I won’t be driving, so it’s okay.

The American Flag Cocktail
July 3, 2010 - Written by DianaMy husband would love this 3 part cocktail. Any drinks that start off with juice from tomatoes is delicious. I haven’t tried Riazul yet, but I hope to soon. If you are a tequila fan, this would be a great way to impress your 4th or July guests.
Riazul – Salute to the Red White and Blue
If you find yourself in south of Señor Frogs on Cinco de Mayo, the traditional drink recipe you’ll encounter is the Coctel Bandera Mexicana. Representing the colors of the namesake Mexican Flag, the cocktail trio includes blanco tequila (white), sangrita (red) and lime juice (green) in three separate “caballitos”… sipped alternately.
Riazul Premium Tequila, whose heritage dates back to the Mexican War of Independence, would like to toast its northern neighbors on their Independence Day with an adapted flag cocktail… Bandera Americana: the American Flag cocktail.
The trio includes a small glass of Riazul Premium Silver followed by a traditional sangrita based on a generations-old Jalisco recipe, then chased with a blue margarita. Raise the flag to this tequila trifecta!
Ingredients:
Red —Sangrita: …

Sweet Summer Cocktails
June 19, 2010 - Written by DianaThree Olives Vodka came to our assistance again with some sweet summer cocktails for you to enjoy this really hot weekend. Sitting out on the deck with my husband or a few friends sipping some drinks and chatting is one of the best things about summer. Enjoy!

Tis the season for cool refreshing summery drinks. AgroLabs says you only need one ounce a day to stay healthy with their healthy nutritious drinks. AgroLabs utilizes every beneficial component of their organic ingredients (including rinds, seeds, and juices) to create a powerfully concentrated, antioxidant packed beverage. One of my Dad’s favorite summer drinks to serve at a family gathering was Sangria. He prepared it in a large punch bowl with lots of floating fruit. It’s great fun to fish the fruit out of your glass and eat the winey fruit goodness. Red Sangria: Yields 8 servings White Sangria: Yields 8 servings Cold drinks are a must for cookouts and picnics. While you are sitting around relaxing this weekend, you might want to hold onto an icy glass of something. I know when it was 92 degrees at the track meet, I wished I had something really cold to hold onto. No alcohol allowed at Meets, but I sure thought of it, while I was melting. Here are some really nice Three O drinks to try out and cool down with. Cherry Temple Mix in a glass filled with ice and garnish with a cherry 1800 Tequini Stir with ice, strain into martini glass, garnish with a lime Blue Keys Shake with ice and strain into a martini glass Garnish with a lemon wedge These Margaritas sound so divine. Sitting in this hotel room typing, I wish I had one at the ready. If you don’t want to work for your Margarita, there are also some great mixes. You have less than a week to gather up all the good stuff needed to create these great drinks. If you can’t celebrate next Wednesday, there’s the double before and after weekends to bookend Cinco De Mayo. Maracas Margaritas Combine the first four ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously and pour into a lightly salted high ball glass. Float with Chambord for a drizzle effect. 1800® Frío Limonada Muddle mint with simple syrup in a tall glass. I’ve never tried Yazi Ginger Vodka, but it sounds really interesting. Yazi contains four different species of ginger, an ancient aphrodisiac, along with lemon, orange, cayenne and red pepper, giving it a distinctive (and seductive) taste. For Valentine’s inspired cocktails to complement Valentine’s Day chocolates, Hood River Distillers suggests the following: Tweet This Post Plurk This Post Buzz This Post Delicious Digg This Post Ping This Post Reddit This Post Stumble This Post

Three Olives has some great flavored vodkas that you can use to make some wonderful drinks. They want you to know, that you don’t have to celebrate Valentines Day if you don’t want to. In fact, you can gather your buds and have an anti-valentine party. I’ve been with the same guy for about 28 years now, so I’m not an anti-valentine. I think when Valentines Day falls on a weekend though, you can be more anti-valentine, than when it falls in the middle of the week, especially if you can’t go out because all the restaurant seats are taken with couples celebrating. So if you want to celebrate your singlehood and have your Anti-Valentine Party, here are some drinks by Three Olives to help you not celebrate (or should that be celebrate). Hey, those of you liking Valentines Day can drink them too – it’ll be our secret. Valentine’s Day on the Rocks 1 ½ oz. Three-O Cherry Vodka 4 oz. ginger ale Splash of grenadine Mix in a glass …
