My two buds Jamie and Kristen came to visit me a couple weekends ago. The three of us used to all be coworkers and now we still hang out because we are the coolest, pretty much.
We went out one night to a fun grown-up prom and we looked hot. We looked even hotter than this because we weren’t standing under horrible lighting for the entire night.
But one night, we decided to stay in and eat junk food and drink, like ya do.
Part one: Drinking. This part was easy because Daily’s sent me some of their Daily’s Cocktails Original Frozen Pouches in about a hojillion different flavors. All you do is stick them in the freezer and then take them out when you’re ready to get your drank on.
The alcohol’s already in there and everything. There is no possible way to screw it up.
Well, I mean, we had some mad cold fingers after squeezing the bags to break up the frozen slush and then getting it into the glasses, but we found that problem was easily remedied by running the bag under hot water instead of using your fingers. Boom.
Then you can either drink it like a frozen cocktail or use a spoon like a slushie, which we did because we are classy broads. (Ignore the fact that the spoon says “hot cocoa” on it. We are rebels without a cause.)
But a woman cannot live on frozen cocktails alone, delicious though they may be.
Jalapeno poppers to the rescue!

These seem like they’d be pretty easy too, and I tried– I really did. But the first step was to put the biscuits in an ungreased muffin tin and you know how things tend to go with my muffin tins, so I greased it and forgot about the consequences.
Then you mix up all the other ingredients, and you make a mental note to tell your girlfriends not to mention the mayonnaise part if your husband asks. (Oops.)
Then, if you are me, you put them in the oven, take a picture, and moments later realize that you missed the most important ingredient: the jalapenos. Siiigh.
So you take those biscuits back out of the oven and put jalapenos on them, because that’s how they should be. And then you bake them and they are delicious, if somewhat flatter than the ones in the picture, which is probably somehow because you greased your muffin tins, you idiot.
But it’s all good, because they were delicious (even if flat) and the cocktails were delicious, and we had girl talk and my dog only tried to eat my guests a couple of times, which is really pretty good, considering her history.

I drank those all summer – poked a hole in the bag and stuck a straw in, like a grownup Capri Sun. Oh, the shame.
Sasha- that is such an AMAZING idea! No need to wash glasses after! Love it!!!! I am so doing that from now on!
They were flat because you took them out of the oven after they had started to warm and rise…easy to fix next time š
The bahama mama and pomegranate acai margarita both sound awesome!
That blue dress you’re wearing…is that the “Issa for Banana Republic” dress? The RepliKate of Kate Middleton’s engagement dress? I’m totes jelly of you getting to buy that dress! I can’t find it ANYWHERE!!
You all look pretty smokin!
Looks amazing, I am making these for my next party!
Huh, we could use these drinks right now as most of my friends are furloughed… Hm. I think a tried and true margarita mix would be my pick.

I’m pretty sure the peach daiquiri with a splash of Malibu rum would be outstanding!
“Tasty even if they turn out sort of flat.” Sounds like a yellow pages advertisement for a d-list plastic surgeon.
Cocknails theme for ladies night, Breast Cancer Pink Ribbon nails and Daily’s Pink Lemonade.
Last summer-ish my sister and I both had “one of those days” at work, and decided that we deserved to let loose a little, and we absolutely could not wait for the weekend. So we grabbed several Daily’s from the freezer and marched our butts down to the basement for some kickass karaoke. Upon first sip of our Daily’s slush, we decided that there was not nearly enough alcohol in them, so we marched our butts back upstairs to remedy the situation by adding lots and lots of wine to the already boozy drinks. Karaoke is always better with alcohol, right?
Needless to say, fun was then had by all.
People do karaoke without alcohol?
I’d love to try these. They look like adult capri suns. Just use a hole punch and insert straw!
Probably went a little flat from taking them out of the oven early. I don’t think the greasing is to blame š Lube always solves the problem
Free cocktails. Woo!
Bahama Mama’s are my favorite Dailies!
I would like to try the peach daquiri!!
I’m in love with anything strawberry! The pina colada looks fantastic too!! MMMM adult frozen juicebag is where it’s at!
I love these! I’d take the strawberry daiquiris and the lemonade!
https://twitter.com/thatkrissy/statuses/385492558161276928
They look like a bizarre variation of the corndog bites.
I would enjoy any of them if alcohol didn’t turn my guts into a sickly mess. Perhaps Pina Colada with a shot of amaretto.
I think the pinner used mini-muffin tins and you used the big girl tins.
I’ll have to check out the peach daiquiri or the bahama mama. Yum!
They make frozen lemonade with alcohol in it?!?
A grown-up prom?! I wanna go to a grown-up prom with my grown-up friends! Is this A Thing that I just don’t know about?
sounds like big fun was had by all. MMMMMM frozen daiquiris … drools expectantly Those sound entirely too damn good.
I too have muffin tin issues, I feel your pain
The Blue Hawaiian sounds awesome! Then I can sit under the lamp w/my eyes closed as I drink it & pretend I’m in Oahu next to the handsome McGarrett from Hawaii Five-0.
Lol! My husband hates mayo too! When ever he sees me with it he gags, says “That’s so f***ing gross!” and has to leave the kitchen. If he stays in the kitchen, I like to lick it off of the spoon/knife just to gross him out! I think it’s hilarious! Is that bad? š
mmmmmmm Hurricane for sure! And Seriously, I want to go to a grown up prom!
I hate mayo, also. Who mixed eggs and vinegar together and thought “this will be an awesome condiment?!”
Bahama Mama Daily’s, on the other hand, are made of win. Especially with extra rum.
I’ve never seen those Daily’s before. I’d have to give the Pina Colada and Strawberry a try!
Staying in with your bitches and drinking beats out wearing heels any day. Those margarita ones are looking pretty good to me, because I’m a margarita whore.
PiƱa Colada!
Blue Hawaiian sounds amazing!
its delicious.
I don’t see anything wrong with them being a little flat. Sometimes the flat ones have more fun. Or maybe I’m wrong and thinking of something else…either way taste is all that matters!
I think they are flat because of the pan size vs the biscuit size. And I like any cocktail involving rum. š
dailys blue hawaiians are the fuckin BEST hands down.
Ohhh! Peach fo sho!
Hey! I have some of those Daily’s in my freezer! I need get those out of there and try them!
Blue Hawaiian!!
UM, time out. Grown up capri suns? HOW DID YOU NOT BLOG ABOUT THIS SOONER???
Peach daquiri
Pina Colada or Peach Daiquiri look yummy! But no trying them for another 7 months for this pregnant girl!
I want to taste the Blue Hawaiian. I’ve had their strawberry and pina colada – both delish. I think it was still smarter to grease your pans than not – cuz it’s you. And your muffin tins hate you.
I enjoy that one of the most frequent comments is how the booze included drink pouches would be awesome with more booze.
I’m also a sucker for any fruity girlie drink so bring on ALL the flavors. Maybe not all at once though, if you want me to remember the experience.
I would love to try them all but the first one on my list would be Bahama Mama.
I would go with the Light Strawberry Daiquiri.

I love those, especially in the summer! I’m impatient, so I only freeze mine halfway. Not even slushy, just slightly below room temperature cold. I guess I COULD buy a bunch and put them in the freezer but, you know, planning.
Try layering the Daily’s blue hawaiian with Daily’s pina colata…it’s a pain in the butt, but they’ll think you’re Martha Stewart!
I’d go with the Peach Daiquiri flavor. Yummmmmmmmmmmooooo. I’m convinced that they need to make whisky gingers of these. I’d buy stock.
I actually do think that it’s because you greased the muffin tins that they stayed flat. The biscuit was thinking about creeping up there and peeking out over the top, and then it’s all like “FUCK! BUTTER!? HOW DO WE GET PAST THIS, MEN???” And they just couldn’t do it. It was like an invisible fence to your biscuit dogs.
I like Pina Coladas. And walks in the rain. But mostly just Pina Coladas! We’re having a girls knitting/crochet night tomorrow at a friends house, and Daily’s will be there to make our attempts at craftiness even more interesting! Maybe I’ll go for a Bahama Mama to mix things up!
I would love to try the Bahama Mama.
The PiƱa Colada and the Strawberry Daiquiri would be my choices to bring.

Actually, you CAN screw up Daily’s, when, let’s say, your friend brings them for tailgating at a concert and didn’t know they had to be frozen. And, let’s say, you try it anyway, poking a hole in the side (like a Capri Sun), throw a straw in there and you drink that semi-cold pina colada shit like a juice box because you don’t have a choice since you haven’t gotten to the concert venue, yet. Hypothetically speaking.
I wonder how many the original poster had to do to get those eight that looked all perfect and flaky and ooey goodnessy?
Definitely would try the Blue Hawaiian. I’ve seen these several times but have just stuck with my coconut rum. Think it’s about time to pick some up!
When I read these comments, I thought there were only 5 varieties. I’m wrong! there are THIRTEEN!! My lucky number. But as it is, I’m not much of a drinker. I like alcohol only if I CANNOT taste it. (The taste, or smell, of alcohol gives me horrific reflux. No taste or smell, I’m fine. Go figure.) I’d like to try them, though – especially the Pink Lemonade or Light Lime.
As for the poppers, would it be possible to make them in paper muffin cups? sure saves on cleaning up the tins…
I don’t drink, both for religious reasons and because I don’t like the taste of alcohol. But I love lemonade, so I think I’d probably pick that one if forced to choose. š
I think I need one of each!! Bahama Mama, Blue Hawaiian, Hurricane.. I can’t choose! My local liquor store (I’m stuck in Utah where we have state controlled liquor stores) only has 2 different flavors: strawberry and pina colada. So I’d love to try all the other ones!
OOO- nummy nummy Pina Colada!!
Margarita.. no doubt. I will admit with no shame that I have drank from these as if they were big old adult capri suns! Squish em.. tear the corner then shove a straw in there!
Oh.. yeat and I think the muffin cups they used were a little smaller than yours.. which meant more “loft” in the finished product.. I would have to tripple the jalepeno in that recipe..lol
I’d probably go with a peach daquari or a bahama mama
These things you made they look interesting I would try these
I love me some pina colada. The pink lemonade sounds good, too.
Yum, pink lemonade or strawberry look lovely!
I am a big fan of Bahama Mamas! I live in a dry county, so the closest booze is a little over an hour away from me. (So is the closest Wal-Mart) Just because of this I should get booze sent to me.
I used to work graveyards and one night I pulled out a Daily’s and drank it in the tub at 10pm when I had to go to work at 1am. That was a really bad idea.
I would most like to try the Frozen Pina Colada and Peach Daiquiri variety

The Peach Daiquiri is the bomb! My sis brought them along in our cooler on a trip to the beach this summer. We made sure we drank them before they completely melted š A delightful little treat!
I would most like to try the pomegranate margarita! hillary.barry(at)gmail.com
Awesome – I really need to host a ladies night soon! Loving the blue hawaiian – YUM!
The Pina Colada looks good. Are they available at Pathmark?
Booze and things made in a muffin tin? I’m in! I would totally start with lemonade.

Looks like my kind of night! I’d start with Bahama Mama although they all look delish.
I find those are most effective if booze is added to them. It’s very efficient and you consume less calories. Alcoholics – take note.
Pina colada!
nuthouse(at)centurytel(dot)net
Not allowed to drink right now, but they totally look like those fun Capri Sun things, but for ADULTS! Yay! And flat jalapeno poppers sound totally like something I’d end up making. I have honestly called home before to ask “how do you boil an egg?” (my mom: Boil water. Add egg. Wait.) and “how do you make spinach?” (mom: “What are you trying to do?” me: SPINACH. Mom: “Yes, but what with it?” Me: IDK SPINACH. luckily my mom figured it out, because I would’ve been up shit creek without a paddle otherwise)

Ummm……………..all of them? Yeah, that would work quite nicely š
well, I’d love to try Strawberry Daiquiri but I am not sure if I could handle the whole “run it under water” thing. Can’t you just poke a hole in the package like a Capri Sun drink box and drink it? That sounds much more my style.
the pina colada!
