Aloha Friday = Cocktail Firday

As I mentioned in my previous post, Aloha Friday is my equivalent to TGIF.  Although it's not quite the same outside the islands of Hawaii, I still like the overall happy vibe it ensues for me.  One of my favorite things about the weekend is enjoying a glass of wine, a cold beer, or maybe even a lovely little cocktail.  I did get my bartending certification from ABC Bartending School when I was 21 (and yes it is a real establishment, I have proof!) and have always enjoyed mixing up tasty concoctions.  One my recent favorites, is the John Daly cocktail.  It's a cocktail named after the infamous professional golfer/partier John Daly and is spin off of an Arnold Palmer.  Here's the version of the cocktail that I use below:

John Daly Cocktail

• 1 1/2  to 2 oz. of Sweet Tea Vodka
• 1 part lemonade
• 1 part iced tea
• 1 lemon wedge as a garnish

Take the previous ingredients and pour over ice and sit back and enjoy.  This was a big favorite of D and I this summer, but I believe that this may be enjoyed all year long! Note: lemonade and iced tea can be replaced with pre-mixed iced tea lemonade.  Can also substitute Sweet Tea vodka with Ginger vodka and also very tasty.
