This week's Cocktail Friday recipe is the Flirtini Cocktail which, ummmmm, apparently is mentioned on Sex And The City?! AHHHHH!!!! I know the drink from being mentioned in The Mighty Boosh, one of my favorite British comedies, so I looked up the recipe for a belated Valentine's inspired cocktail. Sorry I never watched Sex And The City.....never.
Ingredients:
1 oz. Vodka
2 oz. Champagne
2 oz. Pineapple juice
Combine vodka, champagne and pineapple juice in a highball or collins glass filled with ice.
This would make a great cocktail for a entertaining a group of people, mmmmm! *Hiccup* Mmmmm!
I did some baking for my husband's birthday and he requested something that would fit with his Weight Watchers diet. I have to admit I was sort of shocked and proud that when I offered to make his favorite, Shoo-fly Pie, he passed! I knew with my super wife-y powers I needed to whip up something delicious and full of flavor. I turned to my favorite food blog, Skinny Taste and tried her Pumpkin Cupcakes with Pumpkin Spiced Cream Cheese Frosting recipe. Pumpkin cupcakes in February?! Silly, "Everyday is Halloween"!
Got my ingredients ready!
Wearing my cupcake apron
I'm calling this blog "Deathrock Baking" as I was listening to Christian Death while I baked and laughing to myself while I wore my cute and colorful cupcake apron. Hey! Even us 'dark clad creatures of the night' need a cheery apron. *Wink* I was also imagining myself trying to bake with my mohawk in my face, hrrmmm...perhaps I could get my own cable access show?!
Fresh from the oven
After dancing in the living for 20 minutes, the cupcakes were done! I did let them cool down like a good girl, but the pumpkin spice smell taunted me the whole time. Mmmmmmm! The reason why I love this recipe is that there are no eggs or oil used, I know, I was a little shocked too. They came out moist and fluffy, perfect! These cupcakes taste delicious alone, but with the pumpkin spice cream cheese frosting they are sinfully good. Don't fret my pets, they are only 3 points a piece on Weight Watchers and would be awesome if you're giving Bat Fit a try.
The husband was happy (and so were the guys at the [tattoo] shop) and I have another recipe to add to my growing list of healthy and tasty eats. Yahoooooo!
Do you have any healthy baking tips or recipes to share with the deathrock baker? Hahahaha!
Oh yeah! A cocktail named Beetlejuice? Who needs to know why it's called Beetlejuice, just make it, drink it, and yell out "Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, BEETLEJUICE!". I neat idea would be to host a little movie and cocktail party, watch Beetlejuice and serve the Beetlejuice cocktail's. Can I come to the party? Well, too bad I'll come scratching at your door anyways. *Wink* Hehe!
