It’s finally here! The Hunger Games! I never thought I would get sucked in to a series like this, but I find myself so completely absorbed by it all, that I can’t stand myself. I mean today I read something about a Hunger Games inspired workout – a bit much, I have to admit. Though I am beyond excited to see the movie, I am not beyond crazy and going to the midnight showing tonight.
Instead, I may possibly just celebrate in my own way and have a Hunger Games-themed cocktail such as a Mockingjay or the sting of Tracker Jacker (we all know that isn’t good, or is it?)… I know quite a few people that will also be excited for these fabulous concoctions to honor Panem, so without further ado… “may the odds be ever in your favor. Happy Hunger Games”
The Mockingjay
1.25 oz Frangelico
2 spoonfuls sour cherry macerate
.75 oz Cherry Brandy

These drinks would be perfect for the bar at the Hunger Games Dinner Adventure!
