This is a cocktail easily made for one, or you can scale up at will. Feel free to make it boozier if you like -- there are no rules.
Special equipment: Cocktail shaker, strainer Yield: Makes 1 cocktail Active time: 5 minutes Total time: 20 minutes Salty Dogs are great with gin, but we like to use vodka in this rendition-its more neutral flavor lets the interplay of bitter grapefruit and woodsy thyme take center stage.
Smoky mezcal replaces vodka in this jalapeño-spiked take on the classic Bloody Mary. Served with a crisp bacon swizzle stick, it's the kind of savory, spicy cocktail that's equally at home on the brunch or dinner table.
A refreshing summer drink - a fresh raspberry-limeade slush. A drink good enough to rival any Sonic drive-through's famous slushes. Have I told you all about the time the husband and I road-tripped cross country? We drove and visited 44 states taking a picture by every single state sign and collecting a souvenir from every single one as well.
Summer parties are almost here, including our oldest daughter's birthday. And with that I wanted to try some drink recipes. This is partly to cut down on the cost of drinks for parties, as soda gets costly. But also because there is just something special about having a glass of something homemade.
Today is a big day. 1. It's my friend's, Haley, birthday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HALEY! 2. It's Thirsty Thursday. 3. I feel like surprising Trevor, because it's almost Valentine's Day and I feel like doing something cute, as in, I didn't actually get him anything for Valentine's Day, sooooo I thought this post and a really great drink could count as something...right?
As I've told you before, I grew up in Iowa. Iowa in the summer, spring, and fall is honestly so beautiful. Iowa in the winter, for lack of a better word, sucks. It's. So. Cold. School gets cancelled because it's too cold to walk the 100 yards to get inside, kind of cold.
This Skinny Orange Blueberry Mojito is such a perfect and refreshing drink! Thank you to the Chinet® Cut Crystal® brand for sponsoring this amazing drink and my super fun girls' night in! I realized after we moved into a slightly bigger house that I kind of love entertaining.
Happy First Day of Summer! ☀ Although, it's officially the first day of summer today, we have had some hot summer days the last couple of weeks. Last week, it was 90 degrees and it was the perfect day to be on the boat and sip on this delicious Watermelon Lemonade.
Every day, regardless of whether I set my alarm or not, I wake up at 5:47 or 5:48. It's like magic. On weekdays I'll roll over and lightly doze for a few more minutes until my alarm goes off at 6:00.
