Pomegranate Mojito

December 21, 2012 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 11 Comments

Hi Everyone and Happy Friday!

Welcome to my holiday cocktail hour!!  Normally I don’t drink too much alcohol except at holiday time or at parties, otherwise I can do without it, but one thing I can’t turn down is a good mojito.  Besides all the foo foo drinks, mojitos are my favorite!!

Pomegranate Mojito

My Holiday Pomegranate Mojito is made with Pom Light Pomegranate Juice, Bacardi Rum, lime juice and Champagne.  It tastes amazing!  I am so loving the champagne, it gives it a nice light fizz.  The drink in general is light, fresh, slightly sweet, with a slight pucker from the lime and a sweet bubbly feeling in the belly from the Champagne.   Honestly, I am horrible at describing foods or drinks, though I do try my best.

Pomegranate Mojito


To add a little festivity to the drink I filled it with Pomegranate Arils and a pretty pink straw.  This drink is pretty light compared to most cocktails.  Actually out of all the mixed cocktails out there, mojitos tend to have the least amount of calories.  As a rule of thumb, when you do go out for a drink, be sure to order a drink with clear alcohol.  Clear alcohol tends to have the least amount of calories.  Try to stay away from drinks like margaritas, daiquiri’s and pina coladas.  Those one’s have the most calories.  Figures, because next to the mojito, they are my favorite!

Pomegranate Mojito

To keep a party skinny, here are some guidelines I try to follow:

  • Eat a light snack before going to your party, have something like yogurt, an apple or  banana with peanut butter.
  • Stay away from the food table, grab a little plate of some healthy goodies and walk away.  Don’t hang out at the table!!
  • Stay away from fatty foods such as eggrolls, crackers, potato chips, pigs in a blanket and heavy dips.
  • If your going to have dessert, have a good one and savor it.  Don’t reach for an after dinner chocolate, cookie or pastry.   You had your dessert, put the plate down and stop eating for the evening.
  • Keep your hands busy (don’t be dirty minded) by holding your drink in one hand and say a purse or a camera in the other.  Keep your hands busy, keeps it off the food table.  You tend to eat more when you drink.
  • Sip your drink slow, enjoy it.  Don’t gobble it down, savor every drop!
  • Drink sparkling water, it keeps you full and hydrated, put a squirt of lemon in it or dress it up with some fresh cranberries.
  • Most of all have fun!  Enjoy the company of your friends and family, it’s about them, not the food!

Oh one last thing!   My Holiday Mojito is a drink for people over the age of 21.  When you are away from your home and at a party, restaurant or bar, and you do chose to drink, please be sure to call a cab or have a designated driver in your group. It’s better to be safe and sorry!!

One last piece of advice, if you do drink too much, an easy cure for a hangover is to drink coconut water!  That is from experience.  I drank to many cosmos one night, and when I got home I drank coconut water and I did not have a hang over and felt perfectly fine the next day!

Have a great Friday everyone!!!

Happy Holidays!!

Jennifer

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep clea Happy Thursday! As you may know I did my deep cleaning in my kitchen on Monday. I washed the floors, cabinets, counters and decluttered the countertops. It feels so good and everything is so bright and clean. Well….
💖
My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.
💖
What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together.
