Olympics drinks

Just a quick post to share my opening ceremony celebratory drinks! This will absolutely work for any Olympics party you may have planned. The trick? Rimming sugar. Aka, colored sprinkles. ;)

Blue drink ideas:

Blue Hawaiian 

Blueberry vodka, blue curaçao, seltzer

Really, blue curaçao and anything XD 

Black drink ideas: 

Black Russian

Rum and Coke

Rum and Coke and chocolate (add godiva liquor or chocolate extract)

Red drink ideas:

Cape Codder

Cosmopolitan

Bloody Mary

Malibu Bay Breeze

Yellow drink ideas:

Jameson and Ginger ale 

Vodka and pineapple juice

Frozen Mango Daiquiri

Harvey Wallbanger

Green drink ideas:

Midori Sour

Green Apple Martini

Midori Mojito

To serve: Rim a glass of your choice (champagne for smaller sips, or white wine glasses or martini glasses for larger servings, assuming your glasses are anything like mine!) with colored sugar. I used cheap crystals for the green, red, and blue. The gold sprinkles are fancier here, but you could use simple yellow too. 

Pour a little bit of sprinkles in a shallow dish. Just wet the rim of the glass with a slight ring of water. Drip it in the sprinkles and spin to coat. 

For the chocolate rim; melt some semi-sweet or dark chocolate chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl in 20 second bursts. Mix in a drizzle of oil (canola is fine, or something fancier like coconut) to make it smoother. Dip the glass in and spin to get an even coat. 

My pick for the night? A modified green apple martini; vodka, apple martini mixer, ginger ale. 

My darling husband chose the Jameson and Ginger. Isn't it an epic gold? 

Your turn! What would be your pick? Please share if I missed a favorite. Also, what sport are you most excited to watch? I am all about some figure skating and ski jumping.
