Peach Sangria

1 oz peach schnapps
1 oz vodka
Splash orange juice for color.
Splash white cranberry peach juice.
Diced fruit.

This drink makes one. To make a large batch for sharing, combine 1 bottle of white wine, 1 cup peach schnapps, 1 cup vodka, 1 cup orange juice, 3 cups white cranberry juice. Mix all ingredients, chill. Serve with fresh diced fruit.

Serve on the rocks in an ice cold Collins glass. Pour the rum and fill rest of way with the ginger beer.

The geniuses in Bermuda, are our new best friends. Who knew that dark rum, and ginger beer would provide us such pleasure. In fact, we recommend drinking this on the balcony of your abode with friends, and sing "Kum ba yah" after the 3rd round.

Love Is In The Drink....

The month of February always brings out the best in us, thanks to Hallmark....and of course Bartender2Go, is no exception! We seem to come up with some of our greatest creations during the month of February. Not sure if it's the love that's in the air, Super Bowl withdrawal or the sweet memories of our past tasty love drinks, but well, we just LOVE the month of February! Incase you forgot to buy roses, try this perfect creation for two. Light a candle and turn, off the lights....
Love is holding on line two!!!

Love Potion #9

3 oz gin

1 oz rosebud tea

1 T. rose syrup

fresh lemon juice

Moet et Chandon Champagne
2 chilled martini glasses

Float rose petal on surface


We know what you are thinking. Where am I going to find Rose syrup??? Fret not. If you planned ahead of time, you can find it on Amazon or at an organic market. Trust us, you want this to make the drink sweeter. If you are adventurous, you can try to make your own, but don't blame us if you burn the sugar!!! To make your own rose syrup, boil water, 3 cups of granulated sugar & rinsed fresh red rose petals or rose hips in water. Pour into a squeezable bottle once the temp cools.

Pour all of the ingredients, EXCEPT the champagne, in a martini shaker filled with ice. Pour into chilled martini glass, leaving room at the top for the champagne. Top with champagne, and garnish with red rose petal.

Cheers to love...
