Hey Lovelies,
Welcome to Thirsty Tuesdays! What the heck is that you ask? Well, I've decided to be giving you guys Drinks and Cocktails every other Tuesday, calling it Thirsty Tuesdays, allow me to quench your thirst for all things Drinks, Cocktails, Mocktails, everything Sweet and spicy! "There's a party going on right here... a celebration that lasts through out the year...so bring your good time and your laughter too.. we're gonna celebrate and party with you, come, on ,now, ceeeeeeeelebratiiiiiion..." that's exactly what's going on in my mind as I sip this delectable Cocktail in my hand, listening to Kool & the Gang. There's just something fun and exciting about Cocktails that just make you want to celebrate and have a good time.This is my first Cocktail so I was excited on how it was going to turn out, so I didn't want to do anything complicated or with too many ingredients. Vodka is a versatile spirit that can be used in many Cocktails like Vodka Martini, Cosmopolitan, Bloody Mary, Black Russian, Vodka Tonic, Moscow Mule, Screw Driver, Madras, Lemon Drop Martini and Campari Cocktail, among others. So cheers to my first Thirst Tuesdays Refreshing and Bubbly Crisp Lemon Smirnoff Vodka Cocktail.

-Refreshing Smirnoff Vodka Cocktail to end a hectic day or just to wind down the day
-How exciting are those bubbles, totally refreshing and indulgent
-Funny story, those bubbles you see on the wall and surface aren't intentional. When I opened my Soda Water if literally burst and splashed on the wall and surface.
-Great end to that story, it provided a great backdrop to my presentation and just looks wonderful, don't yo think?
