Well, you didn’t think we’d forget to post a cocktail in honor of Mother’s Day did you? Please… if there’s one way a MAMMAKAZE likes to be honored, it’s with a guilt-reducing cocktail.

And if there’s one day that we mommies should be allowed to let go of the guilt it should be MOTHER’S DAY…….

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! As if!

Okay. So we agree that there’s no way we can EVER totally let go of the guilt.  But we can take the edge off a little.  Hence,  I return to the topic at hand –  this lovely little Mommy-inspired cocktail. What about it screams MOMMY!?

Well, it’s pink. And two of the ingredients are GIN and ROSES. Yep. I thought you’d like that. Now if only your perfekt hubby would  get a clue and drop a little diamond something in it, it could actually be , dare I say it, “perfect”.

Rose Petal Martini
 

1-1/2 shots gin

1/2 cup lychee juice

Rose petal for garnish

Directions:

Shake ingredients and strain into a chilled martini glass.

Garnish with a rose petal (preferably one from 100’s strewn across the bed in the hotel room of your favorite spa and resort that your hubby surprised you with on this, the weekend honoring the fact that you grew a whole human inside your body without regard as to what it would do to your figure or your sex life.)

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY MAMMAKAZES!

And remember, don’t feel guilt and drive… or parent.
