Papaya Margarita
Hi friends! The past few days the weather here has been amazing. Warm, sunny, calm winds, basically exactly what you would dream up if you were casting “perfect weather” in a film. So, I’ve wanted nothing more than to be outside. This weekend we spent Saturday in San Francisco eating lunch at a restaurant right...
Bourbon Soaked Cherries
Hey there! You guys ready for a holiday cocktail?! I am! I’ve spent the day Christmas-ing it up! We got our tree set up and decorated and the house is looking Christmas-y and smelling like a Christmas Tree thanks in part to our freshly cut tree, but mostly due to my favorite candles from Bath...

Hey there! Iiiiiiiiiit’s Monday! I know I know. Monday. AND it’s the first day of school! So I dunno about you, but I could definitely use a cocktail.

Blueberry Smash
Happy Friday!!! This weekend I’m headed up to wine country for two wonderful people’s nuptials. I just love weddings in wine country and knowing the bride and groom I am sure this wedding is going to be a BLAST! Unfortunately, it is also supposed to be 100 degrees! (seriously, that is the forecast!) So I’m sure...
Raspberry Mint Julep

Watermelon Mint Margarita – Happy Cinco de Mayo!!
Happy Cinco de Mayo Friends!!!! I absolutely love food/drink based holidays. But then again who doesn’t?! My love for Cinco de Mayo probably has to do with these three factors: my love for chips and salsa, guacamole, and tequila! So today to celebrate I’ll be drinking lots of these! My sister is coming down to...
La Paloma Hermosa
Happy Friday! Best day of the week right? Who’s feeling like a cocktail? Is it weird that I am raising my hand as I type? It is supposed to be a ridiculously nice weekend in northern California and I can’t wait to fix me up a big batch of these! I first had this delicious...

Guinness Brownies!
Happy St. Patricks Day to me! Who doesn’t love St. Paddy’s Day?! Now, I’m not Irish, but I can appreciate any holiday that is based around eating (corned beef and cabbage anyone?!), drinking (Guinness for all!), and fashion (does everyone have their green outfit/nail polish/eyeshadow ready??), not to mention general merriment and tomfoolery! So, even...
Avocado Margarita!
It’s Happy Hour time!!! Welcome to the weekend folks. What better way to spend an afternoon than by sipping on this delicious cocktail?! I know, I know, you are already questioning me. Acocado???

If you are ready to kick back and enjoy your weekend make one of these, you won’t be disappointed! Why, you may ask, is this called a “Whiskey Smash?” Is it because you “smash” up the mint leaves?...
