Drunken Cherries for Girls Night Out

July 30, 2012

Saturday was a day full of laughter, wine, swimming, and a few drunken cherries. Scott and I had our bachelor/bachelorette parties and did activities during the day and then we all met up for the evening at a lake house. We had a blast! It was exactly what we wanted, no cheesy activities or penis related items. Instead we started the morning with manicures and pedicures, headed to a winery and then for lunch and bloody mary’s. It was pretty darn fun!

 

My maid of honor Jess and I did some prep on Friday night by making drunken cherries. Deliciously addicting. We pitted 3 pounds, soaked them in marshmallow vodka and let them soak overnight. My Oxo pitter came in handy, worth every penny for the time savings of pitting all of these!

Looks like you had a blast. Wish I could have been there, but I will definitely have to try the drunken cherries to taste some of what I missed out on. Can’t wait until the big day as I’m sure it will be just as much fun for both of you.

Oh, and the Drunkin cherries sound like a “must try,”
