Cocktails with an Award

I started food blogging back in August of 2010.  At first, I felt like I was having trouble keeping up with the blog and was unsure if I was a "good" blogger or not.  But as time went on I became more comfortable writing and sharing, and I have been able to "meet" many great food bloggers, like Lynn from Sprinkles of Flavor.  Lynn told me today that she was awarding me with the "Stylish Food Blogger Award," and although it may not seem like much to some, I was honestly quite proud and happy.  I still consider myself a newbie to all of this and am excited that my blog has been growing and that others actually like to read it! :)  It is definitely a great feeling and I encourage any other new bloggers to keep typing away and to continue to share, because it will get noticed!

In order to celebrate, I decided to relax and mix myself a nice little cocktail - the Whisky Sour.

Whisky Sour

Ingredients:

-3/4 cup Whisky

-1/2 cup lemon juice

-1/2 cup lime juice 

-2/3 cup simple syrup (you can buy pre-made or boil one cup of water and one cup of sugar until sugar is dissolved - let cool)

-Ice

-Cherries for garnish 

*Note: This is for 2 or more drinks.  Cut recipe in half if only making one. 

Directions:

Combine the whisky, lemon juice, lime juice, and simple syrup in a glass.  Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, and pour the whisky mixture into the shaker.  Shake well and pour into a Martini glass.  Garnish with a cherry. 

Relax and enjoy! 

Now, in keeping with the tradition of receiving a Stylish Blogger Award, I have to state 7 things about myself, and award other bloggers that I have discovered. So here it goes... 

1.) I am obsessed with the FRIENDS TV series and have watched every single episode at least 3 times if not more. 

2.) I live in Massachusetts and have never been to Cape Cod. 

3.) I am a competitive Latin Ballroom dancer and have trained with people such as Karina Smirnoff, Maksim Chmerkovskiy, and Jean Marc Genereux.

4.) My favorite actor is Adam Sandler and I hope to meet him someday (and maybe even my favorite band - Aerosmith). 

5.) I never use to cook - not even toast! 

6.) My best friend from high school is now the man I am in love with and live with! :)

7.) I have fallen in love with food blogging and hope to be able to put this blog to even further use... maybe report on food/wine tasting events etc... 

I hope you enjoyed my recipe and reading up on my little tidbits.  Here are some other great blogs that I love and have recently discovered:
