YDAD You Deserve a Drink or Three

picasion
Somehow, despite being an avid MDK and Daily Grace fan, Ive only recently discovered the JOY that is Mamrie Hart of "You Deserve a Drink." So when Megan suggested we recipe-test some of the contenders in her wedding reception cocktail line up, I was like "Megan, isnt it ironic that youre known for your freckles and bangs, and Im known for getting heckled and banged?!? *crosses eyes*"...You just...gotta watch it.

We ended up testing three cocktails:

1. Pear Rosemary Martini
{We made our own pear nectar by pureeing pears, water, lemon juice, and a little sugar, because that shit is hard to find, yall!}

2. Lavender Collins
{Megans friend from work Matt brought fresh lavender from his garden for the drinks!}
{By far the prettiest drink we made!}

3. Cucumber Mint Martini (made with vodka, not gin)
 
{Me playing bartender. I LOVE MUDDLING!}
Megan was fairly certain the pear rosemary martini would be her favorite, but in the end, we all favored the cucumber mint martini. That said, the lavender collins was a close second. Matts beautiful boyfriend Tony was also on hand to taste test.
 Right after I took this picture of him he said "Okay, one more." Were now best friends.
And of course, we couldnt swig trios of libations without a little something to soak up all the sin juice, so we did what came natural and ate a huge feast of shrimp tacos, cilantro rice, guacamole, and chips.
 AND summer fruit fondue!!! Ya know, my nickname in college was fondue--cus I was fun to do!
I just cant quit you and your puns, Mamrie.

Im guessing you all deserve a drink too...which one is at the top of your list??
