t's FRIDAY! After reading this short article, I was thinking... I don't really ever recall seeing my parents drink. I may have seen my mom enjoy a glass of wine once or twice, or heard my dad order a Long Island Iced Tea when we were in Lake Havasu, but that's it.

Apparently my love of good vodka, Maker's Mark and cold beer was not genetic. That being said, do you remember what your parents/ grandparents drank or which beverages they still enjoy today? What is your favorite? Did they have happy hour rituals or did that disappear with the surge of that despicable thing called "political correctness"?

What's my favorite? Well, thank you for asking! I have a new found love for the Moscow Mule served in a freezing cold copper mug (Thank you Calebshu). Add some muddled mint straight from the garden and it cannot be beat. Although a nice cold beer and a shot of Maker's gives the Mule a run for it's money.

This is a much healthier version of the "Green Jell-o" that is a staple on our special occasion menu. I loved it when I was a kid and now my husband practically froths at the mouth when I'm preparing it for holidays.

GOOD STUFF!
