12th Gal Monica Hart La Famiglia Design 

 

So about this little football game going down in Seattle on Sunday….

 It’s the NFC CHAMPIONSHIP battle between the SEATTLE SEAHAWKS and

the 49ers. So excited! #GOHAWKS!

 Much has been said about the 12th man and rightfully so

#LOUDER #EARTHQUAKE!

 

 I thought it would be fun for the 12th gal to fly her own flag –

a cocktail flag!  You IN?

The Seattle Times featured a manly hawktail but

here’s a feminine & flirty icy blue martini drop I call

The Seahawk Sip,  handcrafted just for the

12th gal with a side of green skittles.

It’s a Beauty & the Beast Mode  kind of thing.

 The stunning shade of Seahawkish blue comes from

Blue Curacao with it’s lovely notes of orange citrus.

Then I added a splash of…true to its name Chartreuse…

an intriguing and mysterious herby &

florally liqueur made for centuries by monks. A little goes a long way!

 Next comes a minty simple syrup.

{One part water to one part granulated sugar, a spring or two of fresh mint,

simmered on the stove top, strain and chill}

Swirl the glass in a pool of fresh lime juice and then dust it in

sparkling sugar.

Next, it’s all about accessorizing.

To dress the glass…blue & green mermaids splash just below the rim. I added a

saucy garnish of mint and fresh tipsy blueberries soaked in the

blue Curacao…on a pretty blue or green ‘diamond’ pick.

 A trip the party store yielded NFL sanctioned Seahawk paper napkins but the

12th gal deserves better so I made my own with these

cloth cocktail napkins embellished with sparkly Seahawk decals.
