With appetizers and bite size goodies, drinks are must. Though I would have loved to spike this TGIF inspired drink with vodka and gin, but kept it alcohol free for my friends who stay away from the goodies of sinful ;).

  1. That is such a beautiful drink Sonal! As someone who has downed quite a few long island ice teas, I love the idea of a non-alcoholic one for a change & such a pretty one too 😀

  2. Gorgeous mock-tail Sonal – looks stunning and the flavour combinations sound fabulous! I’m off to find Julianna and spike it with a little vodka – it’s a pardee after all!!

  3. I’ll take a double shot of vodka in mine please Sonal :). Love the blackberries. I’m so glad someone thought of music, and salsa to boot!! My favorite, love to dance 🙂

  4. Okay I don’t drink but the photographs of these cocktails are phenomenal . . . I love the dark colors and the jewel tones. Fabulous and festive. Now everybody go get drunk on them!

  5. I was wondering when someone was going to bring out the drinks! Thanks so much for making this beauty for us, Sonal! And hey, I know where Angie’s liquor cabinet is, for those of us who might want to make it a bit “stronger” 😉

  6. So good of you to bring a drink. I was beginning to get thirsty after all the delicious appetizers I have been exposed to, and how else can we toast Angie without a drink! I had hoped to bring one myself, but it isn’t ready yet, so am more than happy to try yours.

  7. Sounds positively delicious, Sonal! I’ll start with the alcohol-free one (it IS morning still for me after all)… but by 5:00 I think an added shot of Vodka will keep me partying on the Fiesta Friday all night. 🙂
