How to Make a Lucky Lady Cocktail

Who couldn't use more luck, especially in today's crazy economic environment? So why not conjure some up and share it with your friends? A simple way is to invite a few over for a lucky cocktail and some much needed companionship. Here's to getting lucky.

Things You'll Need

• 1 oz. Vodka
• 1 1/2 oz. Grand Marnier® orange liqueur
• 1 oz. Triple sec
• 1 oz. Orange juice
• Orange slices for garnish
• Ice
• Glasses
• Cocktail napkins
• Pennies or lottery tickets

Instructions

1. Meet up with your friends often, rather than battling the economic downturn alone. Feeling connected to a group helps when faced with difficult times--and inviting your pals over for cocktails is a great excuse.

2. Make it informal and do the invites via text, phone or email. This should not be a fancy, overthought kind of thing.

3. Gather the cocktail ingredients, orange slices, ice, glasses (no, they don't have to be matchy matchy), napkins, pennies and lottery tickets.

4. This cocktail has an orange theme, because if foods are golden in color, like oranges, they are thought to represent wealth. So mix them up while thinking abundant thoughts. Your intentions will be contageous and create an atmosphere for manifesting good vibes!

5. Pour the above ingredients into a tall glass filled with ice. Garnish with an orange wheel or wedge, then garnish the cocktail napkins with lucky tokens like pennies or even lottery tickets!
