Ok, let’s talk boys. Short boys to be exact.

Back in the day, when I was young, single and dating, my friends would say I was attracted to the short, cute, skinny, wimpy guys. Whatever. .  maybe they were right. .  but that wasn’t what I was looking at.

As long as they had something, something that drew me to them.  Some personality and charisma, something going for them, I was charmed. I didn’t really care about how tall or short they were. I mean. .  come on. .  there are plenty of SEXY short men out there. Pharrell Williams. Bruno Mars. Damn. Sexy. And yeah, ok maybe it helps that they can sing too.

So, yo, short guys. .  and guys who may be balding or loosing hair.  . yeah, I’m talking to you!!! Who cares about your height or your hair (or lack thereof). .  Work it. Own it. Know who you are and be confident. That is what girls will be attracted to.

Ladies, am I right?!

And ok, why am I talking about guys. .  with a cocktail recipe? Well, New Years Eve is coming up. .  and we all need a great, delicious cocktail for the evening and I was thinking about all those NYE parties I used to go to (pre-kids) and when I was single. It was all about the dress, guys, cocktails and counting down to midnight.

    I was the opposite girl! I was all about the buff, tall studs and man, were there heartbreaks in my single days. Thing about these boys, they love themselves too much. And a few years ago on NYE indeed, I had a cocktail in hand and decided to give this short guy a chance. Was a turning point and a great idea. Too bad I was a senior and left 5mths later. So to all the short guys, you deserve all the attention and this cocktail!!

    You’re too funny, Alice, but so right! If they have that special somethin’ somethin’, height and hair does not always matter. lol This drink looks like something right out of Sex and the City, and pomegranate is my favorite flavor! Love it and pinning it. 🙂

    Haha, too funny! I didn’t care so much about height either, but I was definitely attracted to older guys. Then I married someone just two years older than me. Lol. This looks like the perfect cocktail to sip fireside this New Years!

    My husband is the tallest guy I ever dated….. he’s only 5’10 which is short to me, the men in my family are all 6-6’6! So I guess I always attracted short guys too 😉

    This cocktail on the other hand looks amazing! It’s not lacking in any department.

    hahaha! This made me laugh! I’ve definitely dated shorter guys before and loved it. I’ve also been fond of a bald head 😉 if we expect them to love us for who we are, we gotta embrace them too, no matter how short or bald they are (oh my gosh do r even get me started on some love handles. Rawr!) single partying days are definitely over for me, but I’ll still make this for when the kiddo is asleep!

    Ha Ha, Alice, this was funny to read 😉 And even funnier that you didn’t marry a short one. I dated super tall guys (even though I’m a shorty!)… but married a medium (?) By Asian standards, he’s semi-tall, but not by Norwegian standards 🙂 🙂 🙂 P.S. Love this holiday-ish drink!

    Haha Alice, what a throwback! I SO remember the days of single-lady-new-years-eve-partying and I’m so sorry to say – I was always on the lookout for the tall guys. But being 5ft11″… I thought I deserved it 🙂 Love this cocktail – so beautiful!
