Friday has rolled around again,which means it is time for Friday Cocktails! This week has been spent working and cooking for the recipes I will be sharing over the next few months. You would not believe how many recipes I have coming for y’all. Let me tell you the entire neighborhood is tired of the Halloween cookies but I did so well on them. I can’t wait for y’all to see them.
Would you believe that I have most of October through December written and scheduled? I haven’t been able to do that in so long I can’t remember how good it feels. All I have left are the Fridays and the Month in Review to do and I can’t do those until the last minute anyway. I feel as though a huge weight has been lifted. I don’t know why or how I have been able to get so much done in the last week but I am not going to question it at all.
This Week’s Cocktail
This week’s cocktail is the Long Island Ice Tea which as a southern gal I love. Making one is pretty simple.
- 60 ml each vodka, gin, rum, tequila and triple sec
- 120 ml lemon or lime juice
- 50 ml gomme or sugar syrup (if we’re not using homemade, we like Monin’s version)
- 500 ml cola
- Lime slices, to garnish
- Fill a 1.5l jug about halfway with ice. Add the alcohol, lemon/lime juice and syrup to taste. Stir to combine then add the cola.
- Fill four highball glasses with more ice and distribute the cocktail between the glasses. Garnish with lime wedges and serve.

I live in a small Georgia town that you most likely have never heard of and I LOVE it! My house is more than full as I am a single mother of four & caregiver to my aging mother and uncle. Lover of all things Outlander. Goes to the beat of her own drum woman.

My week was okay.
I had a pretty good week. I had a lot of errands to run.
Very busy work week, but the temps are dropping in Arizona so it’s been super nice.
Very mixed bag. Some good stuff and also a hefty car repair bill that has me very stressed
It sure has been a super fast week for me. Taking care of a loved one has kept me super busy this week. Lots of cooking, cleaning and running errands.
okay
This week seemed to go by ultra-slow, which gave me more time to get everything done. 🙂 (For once!)
I had a good week.
Ive come down with a cold – I feel terrible
Not the best week because my washer broke.
It’s been hectic getting ready for my niece’s wedding (today)!
I had a physically painful week as my left knee is still hurting and I have yet to visit the doctor to find the cause. Also the discomfort and lack of mobility has me frustrated as I have been unable to complete the tasks that need doing
This past week was clean and shampoo the carpets week. Got that all done. Even got some reading in
My dad visited from Georgia this week and it was really nice to catch up with him!
I didn’t feel good much of the week. I am feeling better so I hope this week is better.
This week went by fast. Ready for some cool fall weather.
I’m having a very tough time. My son is being discharged from the Navy after only 2 years and my daughter is having anxiety attacks. Last night I didn’t sleep a wink. I’m praying for better days.
I’ve had a pretty busy week this week, but tmw I head to the beach after work! I get to go see my grandmother and spend time with family. I’m very excited!
The little black cat under my house is coming out more.
My week was pretty boring after our vacation. We unwinded & relaxed all week.
