Howllo Fellow Basset Hound and Pretty Pink Patty Lovers! Well, I know a lot of residents are one of those! For those of you that might not know what a Pretty Pink Patty is, it is Emma’s belly when it is in near pristine condition. Kind of like this!

Well, every morning when Julian wakes up we lounge in the dog bed and talk about our dreams. Emma always goes Patty up and Chaps nibbles on the pillows. It is a magical time. So, this morning I was calling Emma, Shimlette. Which turned into Shimlette Gimlet. We laughed and I told Julian that a Gimlet is a drink. He suggested that we name a drink after her. The Shimlette Gimlet! Well, I told him that we needed a drink that did not have an alcohol meaning and he suggested the PINK PATTY! So the Shimlette Gimlet has Vodka and the Pretty Pink Patty is without the hard stuff. Keep in mind all of this took place in the dog bed at 7:00am!

This is what I love about us. When we get an idea, we follow through. We designed the drink, discussed the recipe, and made it happen!

First off, you must get in your car and go to the Hawaiian Shaved Ice Stand.

You rush home with 2 large shaved ices. We made sure Emma was supervising! After all, it is named after her Pretty Pink Patty!

Then you do the set up! This is Julian rimming the frosted mugs in lemon. Then he squeezed the lemon into the bottom of the mug.

Now we add the Raspberry Lemonade….Notice howl the color matches the original Pretty Pink Patty!

Then you add the Pomegranate Juice.
The parts are about 3 parts Raspberry Lemonade to 1 part Pom Juice.

OMD! This concoction is as sweet as the PATTY!

We toasted our new drink!

Grandma loved it!

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh,,,,,I love early morning conversations and making dreams come true while in the dog bed! Emma is so inspirational!

We miss you Julian…….

More loving our boy and Pretty Pink Patties later….Love, Cat, Chaps and Emma
