Our Jumanji, a Sony Pictures Event, ended with a great celebration and a cocktail party at the Four Seasons Hotel in OAHU, KO OLINA, Hawaii.
At that event, I had a chance to participate in a Mixology Class and learn how to make my own drink!
Here is the recipe for a delicious Winter Raspberry Cocktail:
Ingredients
1/2 cup of vodka
3 Tbsp of Raspberry Juice (made from fresh fruit in a blender)
1 TBSP of sugar
crushed ice
Mint leaves to decorate
Preparation
My instructor guided me in pouring the alcohol, ice, juice and sugar and mixing it well! As a good Latina, I was happy to shake!
Finalizing it with mint leaves! Doesn’t it look pretty?
I had the pleasure to also try my own drink! It was soooo good!
She was right, it’s all about the ingredients!
My friends and I had the most amazing time at the party! I now feel so confident, I attempted to make a cranberry cocktail for my friends at my open house! They looooved it! Recipe coming soon!
Have you ever taken a Mixology class? Do you have your own signature drinks?
Can’t wait to hear from you! As usual, give us a Trendy Shout!

I love fruit drinks it makes more special if you were on vacation as well with family or friends. I never had a good drink for a while. I need a vacation right now winter is so brutal and I need tropical paradise in my life.
