Know who's really cool? Cocktail Deeva.  Know what's really hot? Cocktail Deeva’s Signature WASABI Caesar.

Here's how to make one:
 
2 oz. Wasabi infused Stoli vodka
6 oz. Clamato Juice
1/2 oz. Worcestershire sauce
dash of salt and pepper
lemon /pepper spice for rim

To infuse the vodka, make your wasabi paste on the thick side. Add vodka to the wasabi and shake the two together.  Leave the mixture in a container to infuse for a while. Then take a coffee filter and place it over a glass, pour in the wasabi/vodka mixture and allow it to strain through to collect the infused vodka.

Combine 2 oz. of Wasabi infused vodka, 6 oz. Clamato juice and ½ oz Worcestershire sauce in a rimmed tall glass or mason jar over lots of ice. Add a dash of salt and pepper.

Garnish with a bacon wrapped scallop and a snow pea or some dried wasabi peas.

Have you struck gold by having a trusted sitter or a helpful hubby ready, willing and able to hold down the fort for the night?  If so, hallelujah sister. Your shift as March Break Mama is over and you can partake in some super, silly and sublime mom-time. (insert sound of angels singing here)

Here are some easy and cost-effective ideas to give you the break you deserve.

Serenity Now – An evening of wine and cheese, or sushi and cocktails. Hire two or three aestheticians or a masseuse for a few hours, and split the cost with guests. Check out local beauty schools or massage colleges for discounted rates.

 Fun-do – Each guest brings an assigned fruit. The host provides the chocolate. Bring on the fun as guests dip and dish the gossip. Try to resist the urge to plunge your face in the chocolate mind you. An unecessary warning? Sadly no.  Been there, done that.  True story.

 Miami Mama – Sip on some fruity tropical drinks, and hire a Latin or salsa dance instructor to teach a class at home. Bring the flavour of a hot spring break holiday to you!  Keep the drinks simple by limiting the number of ingredients and by mixing up a pitcher of cocktails ahead of time so you can just add ice and serve. Fancy them up with tropical fruit garnishes, funky swizzle sticks or paper umbrellas.

Try one of these at your Miami Mama party

She She Chi Chi
2 oz. Stoli vodka
4 oz. pineapple juice
1 oz. cream of coconut or coconut milk
1 slice pineapple
1 cherry

Blend vodka, pineapple juice, and cream of coconut with one cup ice in a blender.  Pour into a red wine glass, garnish with fruit and enjoy. You can keep it simple by shaking ingredients with ice cubes and serving in a tall glass.

Miami Mama
1.5oz. Stoli Vodka
2 oz. orange juice
2 oz. cranberry cocktail
7-Up
Grendadine

Add vodka, orange juince and cranberry cocktail to a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake and strain into a wine or martini glass. Top with 7-Up. Can add a squirt of grenadine for additional colour and sweetness.  Make up a pitcher ahead of time.
