why have fitspiration when you can have drunkspiration? [updated!]

Ya know what's fun? Taking things that are supposed to be motivational for "productive" things, and tying them in with other things that are wayyy more fun.

Fitspiration quotes help you get motivated for the gym, but I'd rather them motivate me to drink and party.

There are SO MANY more quotes that are perfect...

• If I fall, I will get back up. If I am beaten, I will return. 
• I'm prettiest when I sweat. 
• Push harder. Go longer. Mind over matter. You can do it. 

I can't wait to throw these at my friends when they come up with lam excuses not to go out. YES. 

If you make some of your own or find good quotes, let me know!

UPDATED! Look at these new ones!

25 rumchata recipes to change your life

I said all over social media and my show last week that after hearing the Kane Show talk about Rumchata for months, I finally found some and tried it... and hott damn my life is changed forever. 

I'm not normally into the sweet drinks. In fact, I normally keep it very fruity with straight up screwdrivers everywhere I go. Now Rumchata has opened up a whole new world of drinks. 

It's just a liqueur, so it's not very strong, which makes it perfect for a mixer! You could absolutely drink an entire glass of it straight [it tastes like the milk of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, no lie], or you could spike it up a little. 

Thanks to Pinterest, I got some ideas for recipes, but I'll also be trying some of my own. 

Golden Graham shots will be happening in my life very soon.

Oh, a root beer float?! Count me in! Maybe with some added root beer vodka.

Campfire Delight martini: Van Gogh Dutch Chocolate Vodka, Creme de Cacao, Rumchata, Marshmallow Syrup and Cream, then top with Roasted Marshmallows

RumChata Colada

LOTS of ways to make a Rumchata martini! 

Basically any sweeter kind of vodka can be added in! I mixed it 2 parts to 1 with maple syrup Burnetts and holy wet pants.

RumChata in hot chocolate! Or White Russians!

White Chocolate, Snickerdoodle Martini. Real life, this is liquid dessert.

RumChata bombs anyone?! This would absolutely work in favor of your tastebuds.

And then there's even food you could make...

RumChata pancakes, made with the Instant mix! Oh yes.

I've heard really good things about this RumChata French Toast. 

Seriously, the possibilities are endless, and for me- the cinnamon makes it so what might normally be very sweet, isn't as serious.

If you've tried anything with it that is like OMG ORGASMIC, you gotta share with me, obvi!

recipe: frozen pumpkin yogurt shake... with alcohol!

We had people over for the first time in the new place this past weekend, so you know I worked up some Pinterest recipes. The meatballs and pizza dip I've had before, but homemade, pumpkin flavored, frozen yogurt?! This was going to be a new treat for everyone!

I failed to read in the recipe that you should have an ice cream maker, which I don't have [and most people don't]. So in order to still make it delicious, I put a couple spins on the original pin/recipe to make it a delicious alcoholic beverage.

Here's what I did, in easy "recipe card" form so you can Pin it, save it, share it, print it... do what ya do! [This made 4 small milkshakes... I'd say it makes 2-3 regular sized ones.]

It would have been good as the frozen yogurt even without the ice cream maker if you're not picky about it being smooth. 

I can't decide if that looks good or not, but it was!

Technically I could have told you exactly how much milk and alcohol to put in there, but I feel like everyone makes their own adjustments to those parts, anyway. I just got all Rachael Ray and guestimated how much would be great. Same goes for the spices, really. 

Also, I recommend using the whipped cream vodka because it adds a different flavor to the mix... but if you're one of those who skips the Cool Whip on their pumpkin pie, I say go straight for the pumpkin pie flavored liquor!

If you give it a whirl, let me know how you like it, and if you make any changes!

you will love my pumpkin pie martini drink

I've been on the hunt for the pumpkin pie vodka for weeks now, and either the world hates me, or I'm looking in all the wrong places. Since I couldn't wait any longer, I decided to go a different route and got some pumpkin pie flavored liqueur.

The flavor is really strong, and you could absolutely drink it alone, but I prefer to spike it a little more with some whipped cream vodka. More alcohol, balancing flavors, easy to do... it's perfection.

Recipe: 

2 parts Fulton's Harvest Pumpkin Pie Liqueur

1 part whipped cream vodka

Shake with ice, and pour. 

You could get fancy and line the glass with graham cracker crumbs, but there's really not even a need for adding cinnamon. There's plenty of the spice in the liqueur. 

And as much as guys have told me "I don't drink martinis," as soon as I put this in a red solo cup and hand it to them, they haven't been able to put it down. 

While we're on the topic of pumpkin flavored things, my mornings have been kickstarting with this delicious pumpkin butter from Harris Teeter. 0 fat, 35 calories a serving, and pure perfection on an english muffin. 

I'm also looking forward to making these that I've found on Pinterest: 

• Pumpkin pie shots
• Pumpkin pie french toast
• Pumpkin pie milkshakes

YUM! Football, boots, pumpkin flavored everything... I'm not sure what the best part about fall is anymore!

If you have a favorite pumpkin recipe, share it with me, duh!

thirsty thursday: drinks i want in my mouth today

Pinterest might be the thing to finally broaden my horizons when it comes to drink choices. As of now you can call me queen of the screwdriver. Unless there's a cheap frozen margarita where I'm at, orange juice and vodka is all I've ordered for damn near 4 years straight.

Here is some deliciousness that I can't wait to make ASAP:

Blood orange margaritas [Grand marnier and orange juice added]


Birthday Cake shots


Lava Flow [Fruit with whipped cream and Malibu]


Lemonade pineapple sangria


Homemade Four Loko


Blueberry infused vodka lemonade


Tequila over lime sorbet

And of course:


I'm trying to help my Aggies who invented that delicious shot get spread around the country. Try it. You won't regret it.... until you're making bad decisions, anyway. But then you can just thank me for making your life interesting.

So... is it 5:00 yet? Or 10:00 when I get to host at Fahrenheit? Cool, let's drink!

love,
elizabethany
