How the heck are ya? It’s our sixth podcast! Thanks for joining us, once again. So...what do you do if you have some dark tequila and it’s a bit too strong for you?
Well, you get SHAKIN’ and make these...
Sparkling Tequila Sunrise

2 ounces Tequila
1 ounce Amaretto
3 ounces Cranberry Juice
Pour these ingredients into a cocktail  mixer and shake well. Strain into an old fashioned glass over ice.
Now add..
2 ounces Orange Juice
Top off with Ginger Ale and garnish with a slice of orange and some maraschino cherries, and enjoy!

And what’s more fun than Bakin’ CHOCOLATE?
Chocolate Rum Cake

Combine the above ingredients and pour into a bundt cake pan that has been greased. You can add chopped nuts (1/2 - 1 cup) to the top of the batter, if you like.
Bake at 325º-350º for 50-60 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool. Flip out of cake pan and glaze with one of the glazes below, or dust with a lite coating of powdered sugar.

Chocolate Ganache:
2 cups heavy whipping cream
15 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened)  or semisweet chocolate, chopped
(and I like to add about a tablespoon  or two of rum or amaretto)

Bring cream to simmer in small saucepan.  Remove from heat; add chocolate and whisk until smooth. Drizzle glaze over cake.

Cream Cheese Glaze:
1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
2 tablespoons tub light cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon 1% low-fat milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
(and, again, you can add about a tablespoon or two of rum or amaretto)

Place powdered sugar, cream cheese, milk,  and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a medium bowl;  beat with a mixer at medium speed until smooth.  Drizzle glaze over cake.
