I love summer vacations. Some of my greatest memories are from trips taken during the summer. Road trips to visit national parks when I was a kid, lazy days spent at my family's cabin, and more recent trips of cruises in the Mediterranean and fancy beach houses on the East Coast.
A simple gin cocktail for the holidays, made even easier with cranberry sauce! The holiday season is wonderful for so many reasons but I especially enjoy the parties and gatherings with friends. Maybe it's because I'm a stay-at-home mom who rarely leaves the house past 7pm, and getting dressed up to sip cocktails with other adults feels like a luxury.
I often notice bartenders. Erm, that is to say, I often notice bartenders tasting cocktails before serving them to customers. They stick a straw in the glass, stop up the straw with a finger, and lift the liquid-filled straw to their lips, usually pronouncing the beverage in question adequately quaffable before sliding it across the bar to a waiting customer.
No Beer Pairing Today Rainier Cherry and Orange Campari Cocktails: a frozen cocktail recipe that's perfect for those warm summer nights! Two layers of sweetness pack some serious punch. The first layer: a blended mixture of Campari, Rainier cherries, tart cherry juice, honey and ice lays the foundation for the perfect cocktail.
This sparkling honey rosemary lemonade is full of sweet flavor. I served it plain but a splash of vodka wouldn't hurt either... Today is a special day. We are celebrating Liz's little baby lemon scented bun that is growing in her oven. Is that too weird? Too specific?
A vanilla milkshake made with orange juice and champagne creates a bubbly milkshake that will leave you wanting seconds. Serve them in a shot glass for the perfect New Year's Eve Dessert! Before we talk about one of the best desserts that I have published on my blog, I want to say THANK YOU!
Brunch season is heartily upon us, and what's a holiday brunch without a festive drink? Here's a gorgeously simple sangria that isn't much more work than a pitcher of mimosas, but much prettier. I call this a breakfast sangria for two reasons: Number one, it's a citrus-driven sangria with all the breakfast fruit you can eat.
You guys, you are in for a treat today! Just for you, I've plucked the beloved Orange Julius straight out of my childhood memories, veganized it, and added strawberries for a summery twist. I'm super pleased with this version, and I think you'll love it too.
Mint Lemonade] It has been quite hot around here lately. I am certainly not complaining, as I tend to like the peculiar atmosphere heatwaves create - blazing sun, closed shutters, quiet afternoons and glistening faces - and it happens seldom enough in Paris for me to welcome the meteorological oddity.
Fresh and fruity White Sangria made with white wine, triple sec, fresh orange juice and lemon juice. I think we need to continue with this Blogiversary Celebration and have a sip (or a pitcher) of this fresh and fruity White Sangria. Is there any better way to celebrate? Right...
