Happy Hour - Pineapple Upside-down Cake Cocktail

Today's Wedding Wednesday post is unfortunately going to be postponed until next week.

And the combo of a yucky weather day and all of these rumors swirling about losing coaches, players, recruits, etc., I think I may just treat myself to a cocktail - will you join me? :)

I'm going to close my eyes, sip this, and pretend I'm sitting on the beach in 80 degree weather.

Pineapple Upside-down Cake
Quick and easy... 2 parts* pineapple juice, 1 part cake vodka, splash of Amaretto and splash of grenadine. Don't forget the cherry on top!

*Part: "Part" means any amount you want. It could be 1 ounce, 1/2 ounce, 2 ounces, 1 cup or any other amount you want. It all depends on how big you want your drink to be. **Remember, please drink responsibly!
