Okay – it’s time to get X-Rated…

But before you close out this blog for fear of what you’re going to see once you scroll down, rest easy, I’m talking about X-Rated Vodka. Lyght House Cocktails mixes up a pretty fancy refreshment with this sweet spirit.

And it’s an easy one to make – Just pour about 2 ounces of X-Rated liqueur into a sparkly champagne glass and top with 4 ounces of  your favorite brut bubbles. Pop a cherry in and raise your pinkies – Enjoy!

Have you ever watched the hostess of a party and wondered just how she pulled it all off with such effortless perfection? The lucky ladies of MJCCA recently spent a Girls’ Night In here at the studio with several of our very own StudioWed vendors. These vendors gave their expert tips in the basics of being the perfect hostess. From the tablescape (F&G Weddings) to homemade stationary (Papered Wonders), these ladies learned it all.

Lyght House Cocktails and Added Touch Catering shared tips on the perfect drink and appetizer combinations while others stepped into the photobooth (Shutterbooth) to capture the fun on film.

For the final touches P3 Lab provided make up tips, and Scoobie West took hair from day to night without hot tools. These perfectly polished ladies are now prepared to be the hostess with mostess!

Okay, so not all summer soirees work with Martini glasses… Sometimes you need something a little less sloshy and a little more hot-weather proof. Break out that blender again, friends–This one is a double dose of delicious doozy.

Lyght House Cocktails calls this one the Rise ‘N’ Shake

Grab a handful of the freshest strawberries your supermarket has to sell… Toss in 2-3 kiwis and a medium-sized banana. Next, pour in 3 ounces of milk (your choice)… top with ice and blend away! Perfect for your bridesmaids luncheons, bridal showers or special occasion brunches and lunches, this non-al option is JUST as delicious as it’s spiked cocktail cousins.

(And if you want an extra poolside punch, splash a bit of your favorite fruity-flavored rum and sip slow.)

Once you’ve got a tropical-colored, smooth and creamy dream drink, pour into your glass of choice and garnish with a vibrant kiwi. It’s healthy, fresh and guaranteed good.
