It’s officially the weekend! yah, we thought we might start a Friday tradition with Drinks Night! Some alcohol some virgin, but all great drinks. Another super weather day, we have decided to ride our bikes down to our local pub for a Friday evening pint. It only takes 10 minutes to ride down, and doesn’t make us feel too guilty for having a drink.

Tricia just loves fruity drinks so these martinis are perfect. They have raspberries and blueberries and just the right amount of vodka (Absolut of course) This drink does have some white sugar in it for the syrup which is still vegan, but once in a while it’s not that bad for you. If you are concerned about the sugar using bone char, I used imperial extra fine granulated sugar. It’s the weekend let your hair down!

I used regular orange pekoe tea bags for this recipe.
