Red White and Blue


Hello Beautiful Ones and Happy July 4th! I hope your day is filled with sunshine, friends and family and of course finger lickin good barbecue! Don't forget to take a moment to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.

I created a really fun mocktail that is perfect for July 4th. I call it: "Cherry Bomb!" This is a very easy drink to make and it has great taste, and a little sizzle action too. I named this drink after those explosive Cherry Bomb Fireworks. What makes this drink so fun is the cherry pop rocks that rim the glass. you get a burst of flavor and some popping action too! Ready to make this drink?

Cherry Bomb

Ingredients
Cherry Sorbet
Sprite
Cherry Pop Rocks

You can serve this drink in any glass, but I thought the martini glass gave it some extra oomph:-) To make this drink, simply put a scoop of sorbet in a glass and pour sprite over it. Rim your glass with Cherry pop rocks and Voila! Cherry Bomb!







Cherry Bomb? Yes please!!!!!







Happy 4th of July!
