Pet Peeves: Stop petting my peeves!

You know what pets Cheryl’s peeves? Slow drivers in the fast lane or let’s get real, slow drivers in any lane. Know what drives Stasha nuts? Tailgaters, in any lane at any speed. When someone or something’s got you biting your tongue or yelling into the void, you’ve got two choices: let it out or let it go. Once again, we handle life’s irritations in our own ways, but always peddle to the metal, full speed ahead. Grab your drink (vodka, wine, water, whatevs) and join us for a heavy peeve petting session about the sh*t that works our nerves.   

Cheryl: Orange Crush

·         2 cups ice cubes, or as needed

·         2 fluid ounces orange-flavored vodka

·         1 fluid ounce triple sec liqueur

·         2 Valencia oranges, juiced

·         1 splash lemon-lime soda (such as Sprite®) (Optional)

·         1 slice orange 

Fill a pint glass with ice cubes. Pour orange-flavored vodka, triple sec, and orange juice over ice; top with lemon-lime soda. Mix well and garnish with orange slice.

Due to technical issues (another pet peeve!) Cheryl had to skip her cocktail this evening because the liquor cabinet cupboard was bare (another peeve!!). But the recipe was too good not to post anyway. Give it a try and let us know how it turned out for you. 


Stasha: Ruby Slipper

·         1 oz Tito’s Handmade vodka

·         3/4 oz Triple Sec 

·         3 oz grapefruit juice (fresh is best)

·         3 oz grapefruit seltzer (Bublé or LaCroix)

·         Lime wedge

·         Rosemary sprig

Combine vodka, triple sec, grapefruit juice. Stir. Pour over ice. Top with grapefruit seltzer. Garnish with lime wedge or fresh rosemary sprig.
