HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL AROUND THE WORLD!-2015

Happy Thanksgiving to
all around the World!

For thanksgiving Day, I just wanted to give you
all a few treats for your family gatherings for tomorrow
and I pray that everyone around the world will have peace,
is my wish for thanksgiving. I hope that you enjoy the fun drinks below.

The Pumpkin Pie Shot~

Pumpkin Pie Shot

The first Holiday Thanksgiving Drink I found for you all
is called; The Pumpkin Pie Shot~ This one you can't make it Non-alcoholic.
The Pumpkin Pie shot tastes very similar to a pumpkin pie, it is said
when I found this recipe. Its blends of Irish cream with the amaretto
& cinnamon schnapps gives you something of the heavy sweetness and the spices that name it the Pumpkin Pie Shot. This kinda magical little shot is all alcohol[not for the underage], so you can just pour and stir - no need to shake. it's sweet and very delicious, plus it is not meant for chugging because it's got so much to the tiny drink & you will miss all the wonderful flavors. As for what kinda brands of alcohol to use for the drink, I would go with what you use too! There are many good Irish Cream liquors & as for the Amaretto Disaronno is a good one. For your cinnamon schnapps, the best in my opinion is Goldschlager. Why well I discover it on my honeymoon over 19years ago in Maui, however, there are other brands that are just as good too. Be aware that a flavor Irish cream will change the profile completely of the drink. However, it just depends on what your taste buds like. So Irish Cream liquors have a more Caramel taste. So you can play with it. 
Ingredients-
1/2 ounce of Irish Cream liquor
1/2 ounce amaretto 
1/4 ounce of cinnamon liquor schnapps
pour into a fun shot glass and stir gently
and enjoy.

The Nutcracker Cocktail~

This one that I found I just love the Name of it. Why because when I think of the holidays I always think of the Nutcracker ballet and I have always loved fancy collectable nutcracker's since I was a young girl. So having a name of a Cocktail called the Nutcracker sounded very cool. This drink is an very old version of the Nutcracker I found out. They found this one in an old book so it might be the original drink you never know. I think that's why they put it in an old fashion glass? Anyway, this has quite a few blend of ingredients within the drink. From what they say it's very similar to the B-52 shooter, with all those delicious candy like sweet notes within it. This drink I am sorry you really can't make non-alcoholic, there is just to many liqueurs in it.  This drink blends the flavors of coffee, almonds, orange, and caramel.
Ingredients~ 
1 ounce Kahlua
1 ounce Amaretto liqueur
1/2 ounce Grand Marnier
1/2 ounce Bailey's Irish Cream
Mix together in either an older style shot glass or new
and serve.

FOR MY LOVE OF THE HUMMINGBIRD-BEE HUMMINGBIRD

For My Love of the Hummingbird~

Bee Hummingbird

I thought I would bring you all to the West Indies.
This is where the world's smallest bird lives.
The Bee Hummingbird...
There's variety  to islands in the West Indies,
the Greater Antilles which offer an enormous number of endemic
kinds of species and widespread of South American birds.
That's where are hummingbirds come to play.
Unfortunately, there are a few political situations within these
islands which have made visiting  these birds quite difficult.
Therefore, one isn't able to see the beauty of the species and the widespread beauty of South American birds & their Hummingbirds!

Cuba is the only site of the rare and smallest bird - hummingbird
in the world. The Bee Hummingbird which is becoming scarcer every day in Cuba. These Bee Hummingbirds live in isolated areas of
Cube, like thick areas of patched woodlands and scrub.
However, since President Obama opened the doors with Cuba, I believe it was last year? Now I pray more folks can visit Cuba's beautiful country and they can do the same with any country of their choosing. I did a little looking on the web with google to make sure I was correct on my information. And Yes! It was correct that President Obama had opened the doors with the leader of Cuba to franchising in Cuba. I can only pray that it will help the good people of Cuba and their families. It is said as long as congress doesn't screw things up and close this door that President Obama works so hard to open. The U.S. franchise industry will soon be able to bring franchising and along with new jobs to Cuba's economy. I am not sure how all this works, but I hope and pray its a good think for the people of Cuba. The President one fell swoop just opened the door to normalized relations between the two countries that have been at odds with each other for more that 5 decades. I pray that this will continue to grow as a happy union.

Bee Hummingbird
As of now there are many nature reserves, which
have been establishing near the areas of the Bee hummingbirds
in Cuba. This was done in hopes for the future of the world's
the smallest bird will have a more secure future and so that
more people can enjoy these amazing tiny hummingbirds. 
That live in Cuba and around the world. I 
Hope that you all enjoyed the post on the 
Bee Hummingbird in my Birdtales of 
For my love of the Hummingbird, I have loved
them for over 10+years and its fun to find new
and different ones to share with you all my
dearest Friends & Followers.
I hope to share more with you
all! And thank you for always being there
for me! love you all 
your friend always
