Jay-Z+Kanye Inspired Cocktails

My favorite Kanye & Jay-z Albums

Anyone who knows me or has listened to my ipod, is well aware that I’m a huge Jay-Z fan.  So it’s no surprise that my best friend and I are frolicking off to the Watch the Throne tour tomorrow night here in Atlanta.  I couldn’t be more excited!  To celebrate the occasion, we’ll be sipping on Jay-Z + Kanye inspired cocktails before heading out.

First up: My Beautiful Dark Lemon-Twisted Fantasy 

Ingredients:

Dark rum ( I used Cruzan Black Strap)

Grenadine
Fresh lemon juice (just a splash) + lemon twist

Inspired by Kanye’s album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.  It’s dark, it’s strong and it’s twisted…much like Kanye.

Listen: Blame Game 

Next: The Blueprint

Ingredients: 
Blueberry-infused vodka
Apple juice (just a bit)
Splash of tonic water
Crushed ice
Blueberries (fresh blueberries and the alcohol soaked ones – garnish)

Inspired by, yes you guessed it, The Blueprint (the first one).  I infused vodka + blueberries and the flavor of the vodka is quite tasty but not too overwhelming.  I didn’t need a lot of apple juice.  

Listen – Girls Girls Girls

So excited to Watch the Throne Saturday night!
