Lobstah

I went to the states for my last summer vacation. Old Orchard Beach, ME is one of my favorite places. It’s a little beach town in New England with a pier and some really good soft shell lobstah (I love a good New England accent). The locals are friendly and seem to like french canadians, what’s not to like we, did invent poutine! 

Every year, we girls go see the sunrise on the beach and the men do manly things, like go fishing. We get up a five in the morning, drive down to the beach, coffee in hand, and watch the beautiful colours light up the sky. You haven’t seen a sunrise until you’ve seen it on a beach. It’s really calming.

Our time spent in OOB usually consists of laying on the beach and eating various fried things on sticks. There are many campgrounds in the area and it’s pretty cheap if you already have camping gear. We already booked for next year and I can’t wait.

Sneaky Bitches

These are my little Sneaky Bitches, great drinks for summer time. 
They're sneaky, because they don’t taste like alcohol and bitches, due to the fact that if you have one to many you’ll be crawling to bed on all fours at the end of the night.

For one serving

6 raspberries

1-2 mint leaves

1 lime

Ice cubes 

2/3 cup rosé wine

3 tbsp apricot brandy

3 tbsp raspberry vodka

1/2 cup light soda 

The recipe is fairly simple and the end result looks pretty good. Muddle together raspberries, mints leaves, three slices of lime and the juice of whatever is left over of that lime, in your serving glass. After everything is crushed and looks like purée add the ice cubes. Then add in all of the liquids, mix it all up and you’re done. You could also make it in pitcher size for a larger group, just purée the raspberries in a food processor and let the limes, mint leaves and liquids chill in a pitcher. Best served on hot BBQ days with friend and family. 

Do you have summer drink staples? Comment and tell me about them, I’d love to know!
