Last night on The Tonight Show Snooki got host Jay Leno to sip on her super-sized cocktail subtly named, 'The Snooki Cocktail'. Snooki was there to promote her new novel A Shore Thing. 

This Snooki cocktail isn't for the weak hearted. Everything about Snooki is super-sized from the over-the top hairstyle and over-the top nature of her comments--well, almost everything. The cocktail is basically one large margarita and two Corona beers. Once you have the margarita and two beers in a jumbo glass in front of you place a lime inside the glass so that the alcohol can mix. Then sip until the cocktail disappears. If you haven't tried a Snooki cocktail yet then this Thursday night is the perfect time to try it as Jersey Shore Season 3 returns to MTV. More...

What do you think of when you hear the word violet? There’s the flower and the color. It’s a beautiful shade of purple isn’t it? You might see spring blossoms in your mind and you start to imagine what it would taste like.

Well, wouldn’t it be cool if you could taste what you see? Violet drinks have always been far and few in between in the States, but not anymore!

In 2007 the Rothman & Winter’s Crème de Violette made its way to the States from Austria. Then G. Miclo’s Liqueur de Violette popped up, by a French Alsatian distillery. Crème Yvette is back as well, a nice violet and berry liqueur made of dried violet petals, honey, orange peel, and of course, berries.

These are all good choices for a tasteful evening. Mmm.
