Ahhhh I can picture it now. My feet up, sipping this old fashioned lemonade out of my mason jar, on a balmy summer day. These are the days I look forward to. Homemade lemonade is a lot simpler than you think. Especially this one. The hardest part is waiting for the simple syrup to cool.
Frozen Mixed Berry Lemonade. Super refreshing, tart and slightly sweet. Only 5 ingredients are needed to make this slushy mixed berry lemonade! Lemonade is one of my favorite summer drinks. Perfectly tart, not too sweet and super refreshing. I took it up a notch and made it frozen and fruity with mixed berries.
This Blueberry Lemonade is sweet, tangy, and made with fresh blueberries and ripe lemons. It's the perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day! The sun is shining, the humidity is blasting, and I'm holed up in the air conditioning.
Hi Guys! Today we have a fun little drink for you. Summer Shandy!! I'm a total (craft) beer and champagne lady myself and during hot summer months I'm usually craving one of these guys. Currently, I'm digging nice, strong IPAs, but when it's super hot I just want something light...with a small kick!
We're just starting to enter the rhubarb season here in Norway, and after spotting some decent specimens in the supermarket the other day I threw a few stalks in my shopping trolley without any particular plan as to how I'd use them. I love rhubarb, but it's not something I use that often.
If you aren't in the full on throws of summer by now, I am not sure there is anything that is going to help you. School's out, the beach is packed, and the weather has been HOT. We are down in North Carolina visiting the family and enjoying some much needed time with Handsome's niece and nephews (follow along on Instagram!
Contrary to what this blog might have you believe, I do not live a perfect life. I'm aware that some of my pictures suggest otherwise, with pretty little desserts on gently marbled countertops adorned with flowers picked with the garden. But really, it's all an illusion - the camera captures just a teeny tiny space of my life.
I love anything with strawberries! Makes 2 drinks 1 cup strawberries, hulled 1 tablespoon sugar 1⁄4 cup water 4 oz tequila 3 oz Triple Sec juice of 2 limes ice I never use Margarita glasses, I think they scream "bad cocktail"! This one is anything but bad, so it needs a simple glass.

A classic italian cocktail that screams summer. The Aperol Spritz is my new summer beverage of choice and needs to be shared to enjoy. We walked down the street... Waves crashing against boulders on the left. Brightly painted medieval buildings on the right. Sun shining above. Ocean breeze caressing our cheeks.
