On this slow and lazy Sunday afternoon, I’m home doing laundry that I was unable to do because of the rains spoken about last week . I do so while catching up on the latest Brit news and all the other useless celeb gossip I may have missed and channel surf to find something worthwhile to watch which seems impossible on a Sunday. I do all my rounds of my favourite fashion blogs and realize I may be the only person who updates on a Sunday. My phone is ringing, all my friends want to go to the beach or what have you, but the beaches close by will be too packed and the ones further out are…well…too far out. I have work early in the morning, and it’s a holiday so I dare not miss the extra holiday pay!

So today I bring you another fab cocktail for your weekend pleasures. This one seems to have flown below the radar as not even my favourite bartender site has it in their listing. I can tell my bartender friend at Indies was trained well, he definitely has his cocktail game on lock! Anyhow, it’s called a Juliana Blue and it is absolutely gorgeous! It’s that nice baby blue colour that just sings tropical happiness, topped with pine and cherries to hit the theme home. It has a good amount of pine juice (which I hate) in it so that was the main flavour, but it was creamy as well to take away the zing of the pine. As pine is not my favourite fruit drink at all you know how good this drink was for me to be singing its praises! After a couple of these babies I was good and nice!

Here are the ingredients. Do what I do, save them in your blackberry and share it with your favourite bartender if he’s not familiar because this is definitely one to add to the regulars. If he’s like my friend, then he’ll appreciate the repertoire update and may throw in a freebie
