This week's post is especially for all of the SAHM out there (and the SAHD too!). Here at The Boastful Host, we typically try to avoid the cliche "mommy needs wine" type of comments. Let's be realistic, we'd be drinking nonstop if we drank because of the kids! The reason we like to highlight a cocktail each week, is because they are celebratory, fun, and tasty (we hope you agree!), and those things are what The Boastful Host is all about. This week though, I'm getting personal! If you follow us, you likely know that I have a 2 year-old daughter, and as adorable as she is most of the time, today, she is just driving me crazy! Along with the just the general "terrible twos," we are also a couple of weeks deep into potty training. She's exhausted my patience. I've screamed. Naps have been skipped. And yes, while typing up this post, we've even had a glass vase break that I had to go tend to! I know it's just one of those days, and tomorrow will likely be back to normal, but today I would do just about anything for peace and quiet. Right now, if I was told there's a trip waiting for me, I could be packed and ready to go in less that 5 minutes!
With that in mind, our drink today is usually called a Hawaiiantini (that I borrowed from a restaurant that no longer exists), I'm upgrading that name to a "I Need a Vacation Right Now 'tini" for my mood today! This refreshing drink tastes like a vacation in a glass, and I hope, if even for a second, it will allow me to sit back and take a vacation in my mind.
Read below to see how to make this for yourself.

As you know, we like to keep our cocktails easy, and this one is no different. When you're having a rough day, it needs to be quick and easy!
The "I Need a Vacation Right Now 'tini" only has 3 ingredients - vodka, pineapple juice, and fresh orange juice.

During a small window of calm, I was able to get this picture. Hopefully this post will act as a good reminder to really appreciate those fun days we have normally. To all of my fellow mommies out there, I send you calming vacation thoughts fueled by tasty vacation-like cocktails!
Much love to all!
