Drinks
One of my favorite things to order when I go out is a drink. Around the house I normally just open up a can of soda or even make a glass of iced tea. Making unusual drinks can be a wonderful way to enhance a meal or an evening.
You may want to have a few cocktail glasses on hand, and they dont need to be fancyyou can find inexpensive ones anywhere. The two types I recommend having are highball glasses and old-fashioned glasses. The highball glasses are perfect for iced tea and any other drinks that go in tall glasses. Highballs typically hold about 8 to 12 ounces, and old-fashioned glasses hold about 6 to 10 ounces. You may also want to pick up a cocktail shaker, but if you dont have one, you can also use two glasses you have around the house (one needs to be larger than the other) or you can mix drinks in a large glass. Making a fun drink really is a wonderful way to make any occasion extra special.
CopyKat.comsJACK IN THE BOX
Marshmallow Rice KrispiesShake
The first time I heard of this, I wondered how good a shake with Rice Krispies could be. Well, I was surprised because this shake is really good. Jack in the Box is known for tasty and inventive fast food, and this shake definitely fits the bill. They use premium ice cream, so I suggest that you use a good-quality brand, as well. A couple of good brands that I have used are the Blue Bell homemade vanilla ice cream or Blue Bunny vanilla ice cream.
1 tablespoon Marshmallow Fluff
2 tablespoons milk
1 cup vanilla ice cream
2 tablespoons Rice Krispies
In a small bowl or glass, combine the Marshmallow Fluff and the milkif you dont combine these two first, it is really hard to get the fluff to mix properly into the ice cream. Scoop the ice cream into a large glass and add the milk mixture. Stir until it reaches the consistency you desire. You can use a blender to do this if you want. Use a spoon to stir in the Rice Krispies just before serving.

Secret Passion Punch
This restaurant has a fun, festive, beachlike atmosphere. Jeans and T-shirts are the perfect attire there. This punch is a light and fruity punch. One warning though: Dont have too many of these. They dont taste strong, but drinking too many will sneak up on you.

1 ounce Chambord(raspberry liqueur)
chipped ice
maraschino cherries, for garnish

Ya Ya Punch
One of my favorite recipes to make at a party is this Ya Ya Punch. A variety of fruit flavors make this drink popular with many people, and its good to make at a cocktail party because people typically have rum and vodka on hand. The two fruit juices can also be used in many other cocktails.
