If you’re looking for an easy and inexpensive dessert/drink combo, look no further than these Raspberry Sorbet Champagne Floats! Sweet, tart, light, and refreshing! You can easily substitute strawberries or blackberries for the sorbet for a different flavor. These are perfect for parties or when you’re just having a “Treat Yo Self” kind of moment! Check them out for yourself and see just how easy it is!
I can’t help but feel like this cocktail is the perfect representation of our summer.. Sweet and hot! I made this several months ago for a party we had at our home and I’ve been anxious to make it again ever since so I could share it with you! Since the season doesn’t show any signs of stopping, mix up a batch for yourself to enjoy on these balmy summer days!
Happy National Rum Day my fellow rum swillers! Even if you’ve only been a Tattooed Martha reader for a short time, you know I post A LOT of rum cocktails and even rum spiked food recipes. I thought I would compile some of my favorite Sailor Jerry Rum cocktails that have been posted here on the blog to share with you on National Rum Day! Pineapple Jerry Ginger Blackberry Mojito… Keep Reading
About a month ago I had an entire pineapple that I had no clue what to do with. I sliced it up into chunks, froze them, and there in the freezer they stayed until just a few days ago. Since Portland has had a sweltering summer so far, I’ve been craving icy cold slushy drinks and couldn’t think of a better way to use up that frozen pineapple than with… Keep Reading
Every time I make a Bloody Mary I use it as an opportunity to let my imagination run wild. I put a slightly different spin on each one to see how much I can change the flavor while still remaining true to the classic. And of course you can’t forget about the garnish! I’ve seen everything from an entire slice of pizza, to a slider, to crab legs.. which is… Keep Reading
Last week I was convinced that all of our Midwestern friends and family in town caused Portland to have a heat wave! When the temperatures heat up I turn to my go-to summer cocktail, the Lemon Basil Gin Fizz! A refreshing and crisp cocktail that I almost always have the ingredients on hand for. Enjoy one to yourself or make up a whole batch for your next summer get-together!
Happy Fourth of July America! Like most Americans I’ll spend the day barbecuing, drinking, and blowing things up.. ‘Merica! In addition to the Red, White, and Booze Slushies I created last week, I also wanted to whip up something classic and it doesn’t get more classic than homemade lemonade! Of course I had to put a Tattooed Martha spin on it though and added homemade raspberry syrup and a healthy… Keep Reading
Growing up, we lived just a block away from the nearest convenient store, so during the summer we loved to walk over and stock up on candy cigarettes, gummy bears, and of course SLUSHIES! There was just something magical about artificial fruit flavored syrupy slush that gave you a killer brain freeze with each sip. I set out to make an adult version of this childhood classic, but found that… Keep Reading
After using my juicer for cocktails the last few times, I thought I’d be good for once and make an actual juice! As we’re heading into our warmer days, I wanted something that’s refreshing, light, and gives you plenty of energy to get through the day. This crisp summer green juice is exactly that! Sweet from the pineapple, slightly tart from the lemon, and a light finish of cucumber and… Keep Reading
I think I’m going to declare this the Sailor Jerry Summer and it’s all starting with this cocktail! I put a fruity twist on the Jerry Ginger by adding freshly juiced pineapple to the mix. You can’t help but feel like a bit of a rebel for using your Jack LaLanne juicer that was purchased with the hopeful and naïve intentions of doing a natural juice fast, only to use… Keep Reading
Along with my strawberry cravings all week, I’ve also been on a spicy cocktail kick, so here’s another one for you! My fiancé isn’t a big fan of cucumbers, so I was shocked when he tried (I sort of forced him to try) one of these margaritas and he actually liked it! The cucumber and ginger give the drink a much needed refreshing and crisp twist. What I love most… Keep Reading
If you’re a fan of the sweet and spicy cocktail combo like me, then this drink is MADE for you! The slight heat from muddled jalapeños and the sweetness of fresh mango puree, come together perfectly with the bold kick of Sailor Jerry Rum. Mix one up for yourself this weekend and enjoy a mini-tropical vacation in a glass!
Okay, so I was on a bit of a watermelon kick last week, hence another watermelon recipe two days in a row, but this is too good not to post! I’ve never been a big fan of fruity drinks, but then I realized.. it wasn’t the ‘fruity’ flavor I didn’t like, it was all of the extra sugar! I decided to use freshly juiced strawberries and watermelon to add some… Keep Reading
Personally, I’m more of an autumn kind of gal, but one thing I do love about summer, is the opportunity to create delicious and refreshing cocktails all season long! The sweetness and tartness of the blueberry tea pairs perfectly with the bold flavors of Sailor Jerry Rum to help you cool down on a sweltering summer day!
I didn’t think it was possible to love Bloody Mary’s any more than I already do, but then I had a Sailor Jerry Bloody Mary.. and oh my! I don’t think I’ll drink another one with vodka in it ever again! I used my classic spicy Bloody Mary recipe and a healthy dose of Sailor Jerry Rum to create a bold and spicy mix! I’ve included the amounts for just… Keep Reading

Amber and her husband just recently made a cross country move from Texas to Virginia and she had to take a brief blogging hiatus. They’re getting settled in and she has lots of delicious recipes and crafty goodness coming your way! Be sure to follow her blog, or become a… Keep Reading
Last week I started the process of infusing my own tequila and I couldn’t be happier with the result. The infusing process ended up being much quicker than I originally anticipated and the flavor was perfect! I’m not much a tequila person anymore, but I could honestly sip this straight! I created three margaritas with the tasty infusion and I honestly cannot pick a favorite! Try them out for yourself… Keep Reading
Happy Friday everyone! Portland had a bit of a heat wave over the past few days, so I thought this would be the perfect timing to share this post! If you ever purchase fresh herbs from the store or you grow your own at home, you might find that you don’t go through them before they start to go bad! I’ve seen many people freeze theirs in ice and then add… Keep Reading
One of our favorite bars makes a margarita-like cocktail using cilantro infused tequila and I can’t get over how unique and refreshing the taste is! I thought I would try my hand at infusing my own tequila to whip up some delicious and festive cocktails for an upcoming birthday/Cinco de Mayo celebration. Since the infusing process can take up to five days, I encourage you to start this endeavor with… Keep Reading
If you’re not really in the mood to dye eggs, try one in your cocktail instead! I’ll admit it.. I was a teensy bit scared to try a raw egg in my drink, but I read up on a lot of good tips on how to avoid any risk with consuming a raw egg and included them here in this post! If you’re still skeptical, just think about how many… Keep Reading
Around Easter you start to see an abundance of carrot cake recipes, eggs, and all things bunny related, so I thought I would stay in theme with a fresh carrot and ginger juice! It’s sweet with a hint of spice from the ginger and it leaves you feeling refreshed and energized! Skip the carrot cake muffin for breakfast (even though they’re addicting and delicious) and try this fresh juice instead!
Portland is holding true to its rainy reputation this week and as much as I love a little gloom and doom, I’m really longing for some warm sunny days and strong tiki drinks! Since the forecast shows no sign of these spring showers stopping, I decided to kick off the weekend with a Sailor Jerry original recipe for a Queens Park Swizzle! The perfect blend of strong, sweet, and sour… Keep Reading
With warmer days ahead of us I couldn’t help but mix up a refreshing cocktail that reminded me of summer. It’s crisp and light and before long I was day dreaming about backyard barbecues and trips to the beach.. or maybe I just had a strong buzz. 😉 Either way this delightful cocktail might be just what you need to snap out of those winter blues!
A Guinness float might be nothing new to you, but since I had never tried one I thought I would give it a shot! It was delicious, foamy, and the perfect fusion of two of my favorite things! I decided to kick it up a notch by adding a rum spiked caramel sauce and rum spiked chocolate sauce that I used in my Sailor Split recipe awhile back. Chocolate, caramel,… Keep Reading
