ooooooooooh guys. I've been a very lucky lady. Art in the Age sent me a bottle of their RHUBARB tea to create a recipe with and share with all you booze hounds out there. WOOT! I was so stoked for this one!

Hi guys! I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Did you enjoy your friends, families, and LOTS of good food?! Did you lounge around your moms house in pjs all day and do absolutely nothing? Did you realize eating 8 meals a day isn't so great for your skinny jean situation...
Wednesday night imbibes is back and this time it's with my go-to drink: gin & lemonade. I order it 9 out of 10 times I'm at dinner or a bar - ask anyone that knows me and they'll know that's my favorite drink.
Until I read Imbibe by David Wondrich, a wonderfully nerdy book about the history of boozin', I thought an old fashioned was bourbon served over ice, sugar, bitters, and a muddle of oranges and maraschino cherries. But turns out, that fruit-laden recipe is pretty much the antithesis of what an old fashioned cocktail was intended to be.
Is anyone else ready for Fall? I don't know what has gotten into me this year but I am so ready for apples, pumpkin and all things Fall. It may be all of the crazy fires in the area that are making me wish for rain.

Summer Berry Sangria is a refreshing cocktail made with summer berries soaked in red wine with berry infused vodka and a sweet bubbly ginger ale. I love red wine. By no means am I an expert, but I can certainly tell you if a wine tastes good or not.

This Pina Colada Pie is definitely a new favorite! It's so light and summery and the pineapple and coconut flavors are TO DIE FOR! I'm in love with it. Today, this pie is for a celebration! The guest of honor is a big fan of all things coconut and tropical, so pina colada is perfect.
