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

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and Happy Thursday! Last week I cleaned my bedroom and boy does it feel so nice to have a clean room.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors. 
💕
I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which Happy Thursday! This week is just flying by, which is okay by me. Yesterday I worked on my bedroom and it feels so good having a clean bedroom. It was a chore that I needed to get done.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

🌸
I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle.

Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
