It's 5 O'Clock Somewhere- Thank The Tasting Panel Edition

One of my high school friends works at The Tasting Panel magazine and consequently I've become part of her Facebook mailing group where every week they send out "drinks of the week" recipes, which is like a god send for me. And so here are the recipes they've sent out this month
(from January 4th edition)
