My husband and I are very fortunate to have a pair of best friends that are there for any event.  Whether it’s hosting a holiday with family and hoping for some sanity, moving to a new house and needing some extra hands, or attending a child’s sporting event and wanting a cheering squad, they are there.

This past weekend our eldest competed in a tri-county cross country meet.  Of course, our best friends were in attendance with us.  To cap off our day, they joined us and two of our kids at home.  Having a little fun with the big sporting event, I created a Tri-Tini for the adults.  (The kids mixed juices, seltzer, and grenandine to make their own special beverages.)  Named the Tri-Tini to acknowledge both the event and the three ingredients with alcohol, this drink was tasty.

What better way to end a day with such great friends than to have a drink and enjoy their company?

The Tri-Tini

2 ounces blue curacao

1 ounce banana liqueur
