One of the kids in my carpool shocked us this morning by shouting, “I’m SO glad it’s Monday!” -A statement such as this is banned from being said in my house and in my carpool. Each Monday, we drag ourselves out of bed and pile into the car to listen to the only excited carpooler (the four-legged one who barks incessantly during the entire ride). So, why should we get excited over a Monday? As it was explained to me a few hours ago, Monday means we’re one day closer to Halloween. This also means five more days of trying to stay out of the candy bowl reserved for the trick-or-treaters. One of the few things that could get me excited for a Monday is a new to-die-for martini. Join me today by taking out your blender and making this all grown up treat. It’s guaranteed to make you too exclaim, “I’m SO glad it’s Monday!”. Cheers to a great week!
Pumpkin Dreamtini
2 cups orange sherbet
1/4 c. vodka (add a little more if you like it stonger)
1/4 c. whipping cream or half and half
1/4 c. ice
Put all of the ingredients in the blender and blend until smooth. Rim a martini glass with orange sugar and add a pumpkin peep for the garnish.
