Boil about half a cup of sugar in half a cup of water, boil it so it becomes a consistent liquid.
Next let that syrup cool, put the booze in a pitcher (putting it in a bowl was messy). Add ice and the pomegranate juice.
Then, mix the syrup with the mint leaves while the syrup is warm, it will bring out the mint taste and will make the drink more fragrant. After you do that and let it sit for a minute or two, put the mix into the pitcher. If you want, you can add some pomegranate seeds in there to make it look fancier….anddd voila you’re done. You’re going to love this so you’re welcome.
Valentine's day massacre
For the past 3 years, I’ve been throwing a Valentines day bash for me and my friends, it usually involves my signature pomegranate punch (recipe at the left), junk food, and dating horror stories. It’s usually a good time, but this year I decided to change it up and go out on valentines day with one of my friends. This e-card above was our inspiration to go out. Thought it was hilarious so it changed our minds about staying in… maybe we won’t do this, and maybe we will… depends on how bitter we’re feeling that day.
At first we debated wearing sweats and going to the bar, but then we realized, what would be better than running into guys we knew on Valentines day while we’re looking like drunk super models (normally I’m a flannel and ridiculous hat kind of girl). The idea was born, and we hatched a plan, we’d get all dressed up in a mix of red and black, and we’d play v-day bingo.
Side note about my bar games: Most of you that know me are aware of my bingo and scavenger hunt games I bring out with us. However if you are unfamiliar with it I’ll brief you… I make a game card that has different squares or check list things on it, but unlike regular bingo that has numbers mine has things like ‘free shot’ or ‘get a phone number’, or for my scavenger hunts: ‘find a claire’s guy’ (man with earrings) or find 5 ‘how low can you go v-necks’. It’s usually a good time, and every once in a while the bar tenders like to help us fill up the board so it almost becomes a group game.
RESULTS: Well we dressed up, bar stomped,and had a blast. However no one won our game card. Whamp whamp. But we dropped off little plastic babies all over the bars and on couples tables. We thought it was hilarious, you might think it's offensive, but quite frankly I don't care.
