Gold Medal Sochi Mule

If you've been around this blog for a while, you'll know I'm obsessed with the Olympics.

As in, 2 years ago, I created a life size red phone booth and giant double decker bus.
I had a theme party, complete with a mandatory dress code. It was fabulous.

Before I knew it, winter of 2014 had arrived, and Sochi was around the corner.
This year, I'm toning down things, there will be no giant buses or phone booths, but I am going to have one of these, the Sochi Mule.

I've been dreaming up a spin on the other famous Russian bev, the Moscow Mule, but adapted it to my taste buds (ginger beer ain't my thang).

Root Beer (diet or full sug)
Vanilla Vodka (1 shot)
Grenadine (1 tablespoon)
& a Maraschino Cherry Garnish.

Served in a traditional copper mug.

So mark your calendars, and your shopping lists - the Opening Ceremonies are Friday night at 7:30pm.  

Pour yourself a Sochi Mule, wear your red, white and blue, and have your own Party in the USA.

**Sea Day**

Today is our day to relax. We are at sea. Heading across the Ionian sea to where we will land in Greece, tomorrow.

GREECE! Can you believe it? Part of me can't.
Part of me thinks I'm living in the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

That is as far as my Greek knowledge goes. Hopefully the next three days will change that.

So, I hope you all are having a lovely weekend.
Enjoy your Saturday!!!


(A year ago today, I was exploring Russia for a second day - which I covered in yesterday's post...come back tomorrow for the next stop on the 2010 Adventure)
