Cheers to Mother Dear

 
 
What does Mom really want? Chez moi, it would be a chance to put my feet up for just an hour or two with a killer cocktail and the Sunday New York Times. Or a copy of The Enquirer - preferably the Cellulite Edition. Okay - maybe I'd need two cocktails to get all the way through the NYT. Here’s a  delish suggestion from Cocktail Deeva  Dee Brun, who also happens to be a very yummy mummy.

Mother’s Little Helper

 1 ounce Vodka

1 ounce pomegranate liqueur

1 ounce pink grapefruit juice

1 ounce pineapple juice

1/4 of a fresh orange 

Coarse sugar for rim

Rim the edge of a glass with the coarse sugar and fill with ice. Squeeze orange into a shaker full of ice. Add all other ingredients and shake well. Strain into glass. Garnish with a piece of fresh fruit.
