Okay, y’all finally caught me on a bad day, but it sure did get better once I got home.
Word.
I always try to stay upbeat and positive on the blog, but ya’ know what? That’s not life all the time. Sometimes, it really bites. It’s not all fun and games all the time, LOL!
Today was just a bad day… but that’s okay, it’s only temporary I know!
When I got home, there was a glorious, white rectangular box by my front door and I knew what it was.
Pinnacle came to my rescue. I knew it was their newest flavor, Pinnacle Caramel Apple, and I was SO EXCITED to come up with a fabulous drink using it.
Sometimes great things come out of adversity. You just have to keep pushing and realize there IS a rainbow at the end of all of your CRAP! We all have it… keep pushing, friends, keep pushing!
CHEERS!

This sounds like a totally awesome drink! I’ve been a fan of Pinnacle for a long time after happening on it in the store. Can’t wait to try the new flavor and share it…just plain fun! Sorry about your day but know that your postings and recipes are one of the highlights of my day! Hang in there!

Can’t wait to try this, looks delish! BTW, I’ve been though a divorce too, never easy. I was married to him for 15 years, and it was hell. I was single for about 13 years and now remarried for almost 18 years to a wonderful man. (Yes, I’m older than dirt, lol) Just adding that to let you know your best years are ahead of you, not behind you.

Thank you so much, Jody! And you are not older than dirt… lol!!! If you’d like to get together to make cocktails sometime just let me know. Have a great weekend! 🙂

I’m not a drinker but had my first martini -key lime & adored it! Have been dreaming of a caramel apple martini to try next & stumbled on your site. Your post was refreshing, also have been there & done that, lessons learned. The hardest part of divorce after many years of difficult marriage is the idea of going out into the dating world!
It’s so difficult to connect w/new people when you’re older… Do not give up, after many frogs you will find your true prince. I did & it was worth the wait! 😉
Cannot wait to try this awesome recipe! Thank you

Thank you so much, Di for your nice words! That post/recipe was a while back… I have since met my prince and we are currently on our late honeymoon traveling cross-country for the first time. Hope you enjoy the Caramel Apple Martini. Cheers!
