"It's Friday, Friday!

Gotta get down on Friday!" (Thank you, Miss Rebecca Black)

We all made it through the week. Congratulations to us. Now we must do ourselves a favor and buy ourselves a drink!

Whether you're relaxing or going out and partying (yeah!), try some Cîroc vodka. At a bar last week, the bartender was offering free shots of Cîroc vodka. Now, I'm not really a vodka kind of gal but we here at Joonbug, never miss out on a free shot. Vodka doesn't always go down well for some, but this vodka is an exception--it is smooth!

For the folks who are going out tonight, give it a whirl. You can either order it on the rocks because of its smoothness or with a mixed juice.

Or how about a homemade Cîroc mixed drink?

Cîroc Grapevine, created by Cîroc Vodka themselves:

Things you need:

- Ice

- Cîroc Vodka

- White Grape Juice

- White grape sugar or just regular white sugar

- Champagne Glass

- Cocktail shaker with strainer

Directions:

1. Get some ice--fill your cocktail shaker with the ice.

2. Pour 1.5 ounces of the Cîroc Vodka and 1.5 ounces of white grape juice into the cocktail shaker.

3. Get a champagne glass and dip the rim of the glass into water.

4. Now that the rim is wet, dip the rim into some white grape sugar.Now you have a sugar-coated rim!

5. Shake the cocktail shaker to mix everything up.

6. Pour the mixed drink through the strainer and into the sugar-rimmed champagne glass!

7. Voila! Drink up!

Cool fact about Cîroc Vodka: while other traditional vodkas use their base as wheat, rye, or corn, Cîroc is

made from French grown grapes! Très cool.

Cheers!
