Sooo…I’m a sucker for trashy TV. Like, I don’t even think you understand. Talk shows lure me in. Will they ever find out who the real father is? TV court shows are good too. You have to know getting someone a cell phone only leads to trouble. And the shows like Real Housewives? O.M.G…Can’t. Look. Away.
That’s part of the reason I’m soooo excited that Real Housewives of New York is back! And Bethenny has rejoined the cast. I lurve her! Can not wait!! To celebrate, here are a few modern twists on classic cocktails. All inspired by RHONY.
Low Cal Classic Cocktails with a Modern Twist
Pink Lemon Drop
Lemon Drops are making a comeback. This one, made with raspberries, just feels extra special.
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ parts Skinnygirl® Bare Naked Vodka
- ½ part DeKuyper® Triple Sec
- ½ part fresh lime juice
- ½ part simple syrup
- 2-4 fresh or frozen raspberries
- Lemon wheel, for garnish
Preparation: Muddle the raspberries in the bottom of cocktail shaker. Add ingredients with ice and shake well. Strain into a chilled martini glass and garnish with lemon wheel on the rim.
Naked Cosmo
While its origins are hotly debated, there’s no doubt that this Naked Cosmo is fab cocktail. It owes its light color to the white cranberry juice, rather than the traditional cranberry juice.
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ parts Skinnygirl® Bare Naked Vodka
- ½ part DeKuyper® Triple Sec
- 1 ½ part white cranberry juice
- Juice of ½ lime
- Lemon wheel, for garnish
Preparation: Combine vodka, triple sec, and juices in a cocktail shaker filled with ice and shake well. Strain drink into glass and garnish with a lemon wheel.
Bethenny’s Bliss
