THESE COCKTAILS WILL BE GREAT FOR MARDI GRAS AND VALENTINE'S DAY! WITH 'BEET'-EVERYDAY MIXERS

The PR firm that represents BEETOLOGY sent me a 6-pack of "Beet & Berry".  Talk about TASTY!

We made this today.  Loved it.  We'll be celebrating Mardi Gras on Tuesday, and planning on a pleasant Valentine's Day on Wed.  THIS is already on the menu:

Berry-Beet-a-rita
3 oz. Beetology Beet + Berry

2 oz. Silver Tequila

½ oz. lime juice


Directions

Fill a cocktail shaker halfway with ice. Add Beetology, lime juice and tequila.  Shake vigorously for about 20 seconds, and serve in a glass with or without salt.

A BIT ABOUT THIS BRAND:

Distributed exclusively by New Jersey-based Kayco, Beetology is available in the refrigerator section at health food, specialty, grocery, and kosher food markets in five varieties. For additional information about Beetology visit beetology.com

Beetology starts with farm-fresh, certified organic beets, cold-presses them for maximum nutrition, and blends them with nourishing organic fruits and veggies like antioxidant-rich tart cherries, kale, and ginger.

The result: a mixologist’s fantasy league of cocktail starters that deliver a tasty punch of vitamin C, iron, fiber, magnesium, and other elements essential for good health. Kick off the party with the refreshing Beetology cocktails below or let them inspire you your next signature drink. You can make these drinks sans the alcohol for refreshing mocktails too.

We're looking forward to trying their other flavors!  This is good- healthy stuff, gang!

A Wet Mardi Gras and a Gorgeous Sunset

Well, Mardi Gras was a complete WASH-OUT.  Alot of rain and some sleet.  I felt bad for the folks in the French Quarter and parade routes.

As for us, we ate Mexican food, drank margaritas and watched the parades on TV in the comfort of our own home. How times have changed!

For many years, we'd be right there in the belly of the beast.....along with my brother Ric and many times with his Ohio buddies.

Bogalusa party on Saturday, thrown by Richard and Jeff McM..... It was THE place to be on that Sat!  The parade passed right in front of Jeff's home.  They had live music, alot of food.  Fun, fun times!

Sunday, we'd wake up at Jeff's hung-over, then head to Madisonville, LA for the annual boat parade.

Monday and Tuesday were spent in the French Quarter.

We're getting too old for that shit!   LOL  (But it sure was fun back in the day!)
