Happy Birthday!


Today’s post is in honor of Kelly’s birthday.  As mentioned before, we have been friends since the very young age of four.  She has been my BFF since long before the term was used.  Rarely are people lucky enough to have anyone that amazing in their life for that long.  Because of her greatness and the special occasion, we must have both a drink and a shot on today’s post. 

The first is an old drink which is as great as my old friend (because I have had her for a long time, not because of her age).  You’ve all had it before but I am pretty sure it is the first drink Kelly and I ever had together thanks to a freezer of orange juice and our parent’s liquor cabinet. 

 Fuzzy Navel

1 ½ oz Peach Schnapps
Orange Juice to taste

Mix and enjoy!

Now for the shot recipe.  I think Kelly and I had these at yet another visit to Silver Mountain.  We really love it there.  It is a great place to visit both to ski in the winter and also to bike in the summer.  The indoor water park rocks all year and the condos are a nice place to have a few drinks with your BFF at the end of the day. 

 Jell-O Shots

2 cups Whipped Vodka
3 packages Jell-O (cannot use sugarfree)
3 cups water

Boil 3 cups water then add Jell-O.  Mix Jell-O and water until Jell-O is completely dissolved. Add the two cups vodka and mix together.  Pour mixture into plastic shot glasses.  (We use a turkey baster to make it easier.)  Chill until firm.

 Happy Birthday to my BFF—you really are the best!  Cheers to you and everyone else enjoying a drink for your special day.
