Tiki Bar Inspired Mermaid Water Fish Bowl Drinks</a></h2> <div class="excerpt-excerpt"> <p>There used to be a bar tucked into the hill on the walk up to the Carrier Dome where they served the most over the top fish bowl drinks. They were loaded with booze, topped with twisty neon straws and feature Swedish fish floating in brightly colored liquid. And they made the rest of the cold walk up the hill to watch Syracuse basketball a whole lot more entertaining. That bar has since closed their doors and I’ve since grown a bit older, but those cocktails still remain imprinted in my memory as legendary. Usually tiki bar inspired and tropical flavored, there’s nothing quite like a good fish bowl cocktail. Until today, because I’ve gone and made them even better. These mermaid water fish bowl cocktails are the slightly classier, fairly grown adult version. Fair warning – they’re still loaded with booze.

It’s likely that sangria season is my favorite time of year. Fruity, boozy, winey, super refreshing and perfectly party-ready! Sangria is made for front porch sipping, slow and easy back patio happy hours, and prepping in advance for all of your summer parties. This kiwi limi mint sangria recipe might just be my favorite one I’ve whipped up yet! It’s made with fresh kiwi purée (which is a cinch to make) and loaded with refreshing lime and mint so it’s basically summer’s new best cocktail recipe. Don’t be intimidated by the kiwi purée, friends, please! The addition of simple but fresh ingredients like that make a cocktail recipe come alive and it’s really easy to do. Scout’s honor! (Ooo! Do we think I could earn a badge in cocktail mixing?!) I’ll toast to a long, hot awesome summer with a glass of this one, pals, I hope you do the same!</p> </div> <a href="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/2018/05/kiwi-lime-mint-sangria-recipe/" class="button article-read-more" data-wpel-link="internal"> Read More<span class="screen-reader-text"> about Say Yes to Summer with this Kiwi Lime Mint Sangria Recipe</span> </a> </div> </div> </article> <article class="article excerpt"> <div class="excerpt-container"> <div class="excerpt-photo"> <a href="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/2018/04/the-ultimate-strawberry-mojito/" class="excerpt-link" title="The Ultimate Strawberry Mojito" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" data-wpel-link="internal"><figure class="post-thumbnail"><style>img#mv-trellis-img-4::before{padding-top:133.33333333333%; }img#mv-trellis-img-4{display:block;}</style><noscript><img src="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/the-ultimate-strawberry-mojito-recipe-14-240x320.jpg" srcset="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/the-ultimate-strawberry-mojito-recipe-14-240x320.jpg 240w, https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/the-ultimate-strawberry-mojito-recipe-14-546x728.jpg 546w, https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/the-ultimate-strawberry-mojito-recipe-14-360x480.jpg 360w" sizes="(max-width: 599px) 300px, 270px" style="display: block" class="size-mv_trellis_3x4_low_res size-ratio-mv_trellis_3x4_low_res wp-image-445049" alt="The Ultimate Strawberry Mojito Recipe | Cocktail recipes, entertaining tips, party ideas and party menus from @cydconverse" height="320" width="240"></noscript><img src="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/the-ultimate-strawberry-mojito-recipe-14-240x320.jpg.webp" srcset="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/the-ultimate-strawberry-mojito-recipe-14-240x320.jpg.webp 240w, https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/the-ultimate-strawberry-mojito-recipe-14-546x728.jpg.webp 546w, https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/the-ultimate-strawberry-mojito-recipe-14-360x480.jpg.webp 360w" sizes="(max-width: 599px) 300px, 270px" style="display: block" class="size-mv_trellis_3x4_low_res size-ratio-mv_trellis_3x4_low_res wp-image-445049 lazyload" alt="The Ultimate Strawberry Mojito Recipe | Cocktail recipes, entertaining tips, party ideas and party menus from @cydconverse" height="320" width="240" data-pin-media="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/the-ultimate-strawberry-mojito-recipe-14.jpg" id="mv-trellis-img-4" loading="lazy" data-trellis-processed="1"></figure></a> </div> <div class="excerpt-post-data"> <h2 class="excerpt-title"><a href="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/2018/04/the-ultimate-strawberry-mojito/" class="excerpt-link" aria-hidden="true" tabindex="-1" data-wpel-link="internal">The Ultimate Strawberry Mojito</a></h2> <div class="excerpt-excerpt"> <p>This fruity and refreshing strawberry mojito is the perfect summer cocktail.

I’ve been back since and have only fall more in love with the carefree, Cuban meets Caribbean vibe each time I go. This frozen tropical cocktail is entirely inspired by that same salt air in your hair, Jimmy Buffet music playing in the background experience that makes you never want to leave the Keys. In essence, this cocktail is a vacation in a glass. Because it’s sweetened with Truvia Nectar, it’s also a reduced sugar alternative to the typical sugar laden frozen drinks that seem to make the rounds ad nauseum in the summer months.

If you have no idea what that means, I’m about to fill you in. If you’re already familiar with the classic Tom and Jerry, you’re probably already squealing with joy. Because that’s what happens as we stomp off our snowy boots and make our way inside to sip that first Tom and Jerry of the season. While my favorite version is served up at The Crystal, you will find them in bars and restaurants all over the region. They are only served from Thanksgiving through New Year’s day and then they’re gone for another year. I think that’s absolutely part of their magic, because they conjure up the joy and cheer of the season.</p> </div> <a href="https://thesweetestoccasion.com/2014/12/tom-and-jerry-recipe/" class="button
