Happy Thursday! We are heading off on vacation today and I’m so excited! Our first stop will be Vegas for a few days for a 30th birthday party followed by wine tasting in Napa! I have never been to Vegas and I am very anxious/excited to see how I like it. I hear it is an adult disney world, so I like the sound of that! 

On Saturday night, the girls will be heading over to Planet Hollywood as it is the Birthday Girl’s request to see Britney: Piece of Me – Britney Spears’s residency show. Though I probably would not have chosen to see Britney on my own I am actually pretty excited to see her in concert – I hear it is a great show! 

Since it’s party time and we are heading off to the party capital of the world (right?) I am sharing a fun and festive cocktail recipe with you here today!

The key to this drink is infusing rosemary into the vodka. Add the vodka to a jar or container of some sort that has a lid, add 4 sprigs of rosemary, let it infuse for at least 18-24 hours. Before adding the vodka to the drink, strain out the rosemary and discard. 

Fresh squeezed blood orange juice adds a nice flavor to the drink that complements the rosemary well and the blood orange soda adds some more sweetness and carbonation that makes it bubble and fizz 🙂 

Fill the shaker 1/2 full with ice, add 4 shots of vodka, juice 2 blood oranges straight into the shaker. Shake vigorously. Fill 4 cocktail glasses with ice, distribute vodka/orange mixture evenly amongst the 4 glasses. Top off with blood orange soda. Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary and enjoy!
