I started this blog to think aloud and express my thoughts, opinions and views. Also to keep my friends and family updated with all the ongoing stuff in my very boring life. This blog is still circuitous as I am not certain what direction I want to take. I might find the direction soon or keep wandering till I do or most likely be lazy and not write at all!

Summer Cocktails
I had a very long day today and right now I am unwinding with a fuzzy navel. This is such an excellent summer drink and is so refreshing. In case you don't know the ingredients or the recipe here goes:
Fuzzy Navel
3 oz. Peach Schnapps
3oz. Orange juice.
Of course this is stirred and not shaken. It is served in a highball glass with lot of ice. Speaking of cocktails let me share two other favorite summer cocktails.
Blue Lagoon
2 shots Vodka
2 shots Blue Curacao and
Top this with Lemonade. Garnish with lemons. This is also served in a highball glass
Peach Martini
2 oz. Vodka or Gin or White Rum
2 oz Peach Schnapps
Mix the two in a shaker with ice. Strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a thin wedge of peach. I also prefer cherry garnish as it renders a cool color to the drink.
Like they say in all alcohol commercials....please drink responsibly and do not drink and drive. Cheers!

It's 8:15am but that doesn't stop me from drooling over one of these delicious cocktails! ;)
We are having people over tonight, perhaps I'll surprise them with some Peach Martinis or even a Fuzzy Navel, they sound so good, thanks Sai.
Seem ideal for a warm summer day, esp the kind that we are having today. Sorry you had such a long day. Hope you could unwind?
Summer days are horrible to work hard,aren't they? At least,we can unwind with all these yummies.Sounds and looks great.Watermelons would be great too.Enjoy and don't work too hard dear girl!:))
I've tried a fuzzy navel before and they are good. I am definitely going to try the blue lagoon and the peach martini though. The heat is unbearable, so this might help out! :)
Hi Lotus:
Peach Martini is my favorite cocktail. Have fun at your dinner party! I am sure it will be a great success.
Hi Sanjay:
It is ideal for the summer. I don't mind long days....it is the heat that kills me.
Hi Asha:
Yes watermelons are great for the summer but unfortunately they don't give you a buzz ;-)
Hi Beenz:
Yes this blog post is for such a good cause to deal with the summer heat and be happy ;-)

Please pass me one (or four) of those. I just got back from vacation and need a vacation from vacation. They're exhausting! :)

Hey Anali:
