Good morning! Today is such a glamouros day….i have to get to the spa for my facial, pedi, and mani; oh and then i have my final fitting at the tailors, and a hair & make-up appointment with Nick at the La Shai Salon…..LOLOLOL I wish! A girl can dream right?! The Golden Globes is tonight and I was just imagining what this day must be like for all of those glamorous celebs. I’m so jealous of all the pampering they receive! I wish that for just one day I could be in their shoes sigh…..
There is one thing I do to get in the spirit and feel a little glamorous even if I am wearing sweats…make a fabulous gold themed cocktail and a super delish charcuterie board! What’s better than an amazing cocktail with cheese, fruit, spreads, olive, and crackers?! Now onto this fabulous drink! To start we have to first make our pear simple syrup; start by dicing an entire pear and throw it in a pot with 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water. Give the mixture a good stir and let it come to a boil. Make sure the sugar completely dissolves before removing the syrup from heat. Allow the pears to steep in the simply syrup while it cools completely.
Next rim the glass with gold sugar….I got lucky and found some gold sanding sugar on Amazon. I’m sure you could find it at party city or your local store. To rim my glass I dipped the tip of the champagne flute into the simple syrup and then the gold sanding sugar.
Add the ice, vodka, and Pear simple syrutona sjaker and shake away! Pour over diced pears and top with champagne. Yes it’s that easy 🙂
This drink is super easy and has just the right amount of glam! Make sure to sip responsible because it’s a little on the strong side lol. What do you do to get in the mood during award shows? Do you play games, make delicous cocktails, charcuterie boards or all of the above lol. Let me know in the comments below!
