Shopaholic in Alabama

It's well documented that I love my Skinnygirl Margaritas and White Cranberry Cosmos (originally blogged HERE and HERE ).  Last weekend, I was thrilled to find the new Skinnygirl Pina Colada at the Publix store near my office. For some unknown reason, these products tend to arrive in Florida faster than Alabama. It must have something to do with distribution? At any rate, Publix had two bottles left on the shelf --- and I bought them both!  We enjoyed them over the weekend while at my parent's island home, and I must say I love the new Pina Colada flavor. My DH and Father both said they were "watered down" - but then again, they weren't frozen and heavy pina coladas that taste like ice cream. HA! They are light and refreshing, definitely best served super cold and with a slice of pineapple.  I also noticed that Skinnygirl has added flavored vodkas to their offerings. Tangerine, Island Coconut, Cucumber and Bare Naked are the available flavors. Now I want ...

Say what you want, but former RHONY Bethenny Frankel is a genius. The newest creation from her Skinnygirl Cocktails line is White Cranberry Cosmo, and it is delicious!  Last week, I was excited to find it in our local state-owned liquor store. I bought some to try, and tested it over the weekend. It's a little tart, but I happen to like that. I plan to purchase another bottle for our last home game in Tuscaloosa next weekend... Now, if I could just find that new sangria in my area - I would be happy!  Hope you're having a great start to a new week! 

Happy Thursday!  Our girl Bethenny has gone and done it again - created yet another beverage in the "Skinnygirl" line. Skinnygirl Sangria should be available in most markets by the end of July and everywhere by the end of August.  We are already big fans of Skinnygirl Margarita around here. I blame my sister for getting me hooked as she first had her DH pick it up in Panama City and bring to us at the beach. We like to add a splash of Diet Sprite and a twist of lime - this cuts down on the tartness of the drink.  Sadly the Sangria isn't available in my area yet - a major metro area this isn't, so I'm probably in the end of August distribution. Have you tried the Sangria yet? How about the Skinnygirl Margarita? Are you also a big fan? Have a stellar day!  p.s. Bethenny has been quoted as saying she is making "enough money to wipe her bum with $100 bills". I'm thinking this will help continue that tradition. Haha.
