Party Panache, Strawberries & Cream Bushwacker
We enjoyed a taste of summer on the coast last weekend, Saturday was warm and sunny and was spent boating and swimming
HHjr was head chef all weekend,
which gave me time to play with flowers
and paint with CC
“Now that I’m 6 Gigi, I’m old enough to wear lipstick!”
she announced
{we’re going to have to work on application 😂}
“Your lipstick matches the tulips!” I told her…
We capped off our Spring Break fun with a dangerously delicious cocktail
A strawberries & Cream Bushwacker
Bushwackers are the local favorite cocktail on the Gulf coast
The recipes vary,
the best description is an adult milkshake
It’s cold, creamy, and strong
made with coconut rum or vodka
Irish Creme, Kahula
This recipe is very simple
You can mix the Bailey’s Strawberries and Cream
with vodka or milk or softened vanilla ice cream {swoon}
And of course, you could enjoy it all by itself on the rocks
Strawberries & Cream Bushwacker
1 part Vodka or milk
2 parts Bailey’s Strawberries & Cream liqueur
ice
fresh strawberries
Mix liquids and pour over ice in a glass. Garnish with fresh berries
Drink responsibily!
Strawberries bring Summer right to your door!

There’s a new place now across the street called the Flora Bama Yacht Club, which is a funny name because the place is a shack with tables in the sand, but it’s the new hot spot during the day…my kids spent a lot of time there that weekend!
