Girly Cocktail Recipes... Shaken, Not Stirred

Ladies, get ready for an all night giggle fest!  This is Friday's Featured Recipe gone wild! *smile*

If you're anything like me, it's not always easy to get "out" to enjoy a much-needed cocktail hour.  This weekend I'm inviting you to have the girls over to your place for some of the yummiest drinks of your lives!  I interviewed a few gal pals and asked each to contribute her personally-created and girlfriend-tested, favorite girly cocktail recipe.  These drinks are pretty, potent, and glamalicious!

Break out the cocktail shaker and get ready for Girls' Night In, packed with plenty of girl talk and girly drinks!  *Disclaimer* The Prissy Mommy Chronicles is not responsible for injuries sustained while swinging from the chandelier!
