Some days you just need a Martini . . .

This week at school is crazy!!! Our last week for Seniors. I'm frantically printing a gazillion certificates for the spring sports athletes and the senior awards coming up, shipping trophies to the engraver, retirement party organizing, preparing for the huge awards assembly on Friday, contacting presenters and speakers, the staff golf scramble, . . . . aaahhhh! I want to hide! . . But first I have to share a "drink" find with you. My niece sells this product through one of those home party companies, it's called Tastefully Simple. They sell food and drink items online, through parties or their catalog. They have a fantastic beer bread and really great sauces (especially Teriyaki & Apricot dipping sauce) YUM! Anyway, on the order form was a product called "Mango Breeze Margarita Mix"

. . . but instead of Tequila or Rum as they recommend, I added Absolut Citron Vodka to the container. HELLOOOO!!!!!!! it's absolutely delicious!!! So as this week has been overly booked and busy . . I enter my kitchen and remove the container from the freezer to scoop some of the instant frozen stress relief and gracefully place it in my glass . . . take a sip . . . and all the world is good.

That is not a martini...that is a slurpee.

Recipe for Vodka martini.

Absolut - one glass full (vodka must be frozen...not room temp/shaken/stirred)
2-4 Spanish olives.
spritz of vermouth on top.

Enjoy.
