I’ve been drinkin’!

Hi, my name is Miss Bloom.
I’m a cocktail-taster-a-holic.

Yes, I’ve hit the drinks.  I’ve been trying to find a signature drink for our wedding.  It seems to have been a hit at the weddings that I’ve attented.  Not only with the women, but the men have been drinking the concoctions especially if the cocktails are blue. 

On my quest for the perfect Martini, I’ve been ordering various drinks from the pub, bar, or restaurant that I’ve found myself in.  I always give Mr. Bloom a sip but he can’t drink these mixed drinks. He prefers his microbrewery or Czech beer!  At each of these restaurants, I would snap a pic of the cocktail menu with my camera phone.  Sometimes, I’d be lucky enough to bring a cocktail menu home.

I’ve also taken the opportunity to drink a little more of my favourites (okay, a lot more! *hiccup*) to see how my guests would feel the day after.  Basically, overimbibing the stronger liquor with more sugar content especially in a mixed cocktail results in the worse hangovers.  High sugar content liquors include schnapps, jaggermeister,
I had a yummy Martini with vodka, cointreau, cranberry juice and pomegranate juice.  It was so tasty, almost like Kool-aid.  Unfortunately, it gave myself and my friend a dull headache that lasted the entire day.  We’re both not light-weights so we were very surprised.

I’m still searching for signature drinks recipes.
Does anyone have any good cocktail recipes they could recommend?

I’m thinking of having a tent card bar menu with a drink representing ”Something Old”, “Something New”, “Something Borrowed”, and “Something Blue”.
