    Derby Day Tea

    April 13, 2023thetipsyhousewife

    A Refreshing Race Drink This Derby Day Tea is a refreshing drink that is also fun and beautiful to look at. Brewed with Hibiscus Tea and mixed with pink lemonade, mint, and lemons this is a drink you can sip on all day. If you would like to make it a little more spicy, feel free to add a shot of flavored vodka or bourbon. Additionally you can double this recipe to make a bigger batch. It stores in the fridge for up to three days. It’s the perfect drink for your derby party. Or any party, for that matter.…

    Mardi Gras Hurricane Mocktail

    February 14, 2023thetipsyhousewife

    For Partying Just the Right Amount If you want to celebrate but you’re worried about the morning after, this Mardi Gras Hurricane Mocktail could be just the ticket. I have never been a huge fan of the whole Mardi Gras food culture. I think it is because I don’t eat shrimp or any shellfish really for that mater. But who can resist a well crafted Hurricane Cocktail? I love how pretty it is and how it is sweet without being cloying. I gave up drinking about 5 months ago to help heal some gut issues I was having. Therefore, I…

    Super Special Lemonade

    November 4, 2022thetipsyhousewife

    A Sweet and Creamy Treat Make some Super Special Lemonade by adding sweetened condensed milk to fresh squeezed lemon juice! This produces a perfectly sweet lemonade. The lemonade is super drinkable due to the slightly creamy taste of this thirst quenching drink. If you’re like me and have always been a fan of lemonade but not a fan of the overly sour flavor, this is the perfect solution to that problem. The full, printable recipe is at the bottom of this post but first I will share a few fun facts and tips. Brazilian Lemonade I found out about this…

One of my hostess tips is to keep simple ingredients around to be able to present a last minute Bloody Mary bar that’s sure to impress. When I need to stock up on supplies to be ready to throw something together, I head to Walmart!  Personally, I do not like those Bloody…

  • Iced Coffee

    January 15, 2019thetipsyhousewife

    A Cold Caffeine Fix for Cheap I have learned many useful things since I started blogging and using Instagram. I would have to say that one of the most useful things I have learned on Instagram was this Iced Coffee recipe from my Instagram friend @southernatheart. If you are an Instagrammer give her a follow, her stories are SO entertaining. Nikki “Southern At Heart” calls herself the Coffee Queen, and after trying this recipe, I have to agree that she is, in fact, a Queen. I added my own little touch to this recipe and it has saved me hundreds…

    How to Make a True Wisconsin Old Fashioned

    June 21, 2018thetipsyhousewife

    A Brandy Bonus I have an O-B-S-E-S-S-I-O-N with Wisconsin Supper Club Style Brandy Old Fashioned’s. My parents have a home in the Western Upper Peninsula of Michigan which is right over the border from Wisconsin, the home of The Brandy Old Fashioned. Last year I even did an Old Fashioned Crawl through the Northwoods and wrote a blog post about it called “A Waitress Named Diane”. It was fantastic. Since I cannot permanently live in the Northwoods (although I wish I could) I decided I needed to perfect the Brandy Old Fashioned at home. The drink itself does require more…

  • Grab & Go Apple Cranberry Sangria Jars

    September 15, 2017thetipsyhousewife

    Easy, Breezy, Boozy They say an apple a day keeps the doctor away. That’s nice, but it won’t get you buzzed. Let’s put a pin in that and move on to another fruit: Cranberries. Cranberries are neat. Did you know that farmers flood cranberry fields as part of the harvest process? You might already know that if you’d seen certain Ocean Spray commercials with the farmers standing knee deep in the water. Despite this cool fact, however, I regret to inform you that cranberries will also not get you buzzed. Why have I presented this cocktail of fruit information for…

  • 5 Tasty Recipes for Spiked Fast Food Drinks

    August 11, 2017thetipsyhousewife

      Everyone has their favorite drive thru drinks, but we can all agree they lack one important ingredient: Booze! I’ve taken some of my favorite drive thru drinks and turned them into tasty cocktails that I bet you’ll enjoy as well. Before we get started, let me make one thing extremely clear: Don’t Drink & Drive! I waited to add alcohol to these drinks until after I returned home and enjoyed them in the Garden of Eatin’. I’d also like to make clear that the franchises mentioned here had no part in this process and, as far as I know,…
