Enjoy this delicious Fizzy Vodka with Trix Cereal. For adults only!
Last week I was invited to a Hello Cereal Lovers event hosted by General Mills serving creations by Justin Warner. As soon as I arrived and started to taste all these amazing cereal dishes my mind started to wonder quickly. I usually think of Cereal as something I splash milk on and call it a day, or occasionally bake cookies and make granola bars with. But savory? I never thought of cereal as savory but that has all changed. By thinking out of the (cereal) box I can totally see how cereal can be incorporated into dinner dishes and you will see a few recipes in the upcoming weeks as I try them out. While at the event I had one amazing rotini pasta dish and one extra delicious split pea soup – both had cereal in it. I hope you’re intrigued by this, because you’re soon to be hungry!
As soon as I got to the event I was greeted with smiles, then quickly offered a Fizzy Trix drink. Let me tell you a few things:
I accepted this drink because all I heard was “Trix”.
I don’t drink Vodka.
I started to drink it and quickly felt my cheeks become flushed.
I found a recipe book at a nearby table and quickly realized I was drinking Vodka.
I really enjoyed this Fizzy Vodka Trix drink. Alot.
I quickly started to dance on tables.
They asked me to leave.
Ok the last 2 things aren’t true. In fact I was offered another Fizzy Trix drink but declined because I have a fear with alcohol that I will become that stranger on the subway home. Random: Once on the way home Matthew and I were sitting on the subway, and a intoxicated man placed his hand on Matthew’s thigh and quickly stroked very high up. Matthew removed his hand. I giggled crazily. The man awoke embarrassed, confused, and then passed out again. It was a highlight of my year.
So for you Fizzy Drink and Cereal lovers out there, I think you’re going to love this recipe. Enjoy!

That is one crazy looking but totally fun drink girl. I think those would just go down too easy and I would be regretting it in the morning 🙂 I love drinking anything pink.
Cereal and savory?I would have never put those two together in the same category, but I will trust you that it works! Looks like a fun event! xoxo, Jackie
Pamela says
Was lots of fun Jackie and the color of the drinks were pretty!

Ruby @ The Ruby Red Apron says
I don’t drink but this is too cute… and I may easily drink all 4 glasses. But that subway story is a good reminder not to drink too many… haha
Anyway, I can’t wait for that split pea soup recipe, looks so good!

Hani/Hanielas says
Cereal and savory? Who would have thought that it is possible. I can totally see it happen, how about swapping some of the bread crumbs in meatballs for some cereal..it could actually work.
Drink looks amazing!
Pamela says
That sounds amazing Hani!

Wow, these events are really fun, right? I loved the amazing things you did with the cereals. And that Vodka trix drink sounds fab! I am a non-drinker too and I don’t drink vodka because of the same reason you have. But this drink really looks appealing!

Katie says
How fun!! I hate vodka too.
I LOVED all those cereals growing up – Trix and Lucky Charms and Boo Berry and the Count. Remember when Trix were shaped like the fruits they were supposed to be? Genius. I can’t believe they don’t do that anymore. Whatever happened to Cookie Crisp? I miss those.
Pamela says
Boo Berry is the best, it’s still my favorite!
Kelly @ hidden fruits and veggies says
I’m a total vodka drinker and I’ve been obsessed with Loopy, which is Three Olives’s Fruit Loop vodka. This drink sounds like something totally up my alley!
Pamela says
Enjoy Kelly!
