So my mom is from Mexico and I know that Cinco de Mayo is not a holiday there, it celebrates a victory over the French (I’m also part French BTW 🙂 at the battle of Puebla in 1863. OK now that we have that out of the way I made an AMAZING SPICY margarita! The...

Strawberry Margarita
Cheers to the weekend! Our blenders have had more than enough kale, chia seeds and protein powder in them for a lifetime. It’s time to break out the tequila and get down to business!? Great cocktails are all about using the BEST ingredients. This one is no exception. I made a strawberry reduction then added tequila, fresh...
Berry Basil Gimlet
Spring is in the air. Jasmine is blooming all over. The days are getting longer and longer. This drink is literally the PERFECT cocktail to reward yourself after a long week. So I had a ton of fresh basil left over from the bruschetta I made the other day and didn’t want it to go to waste. What...
Guinness Baileys Shot
This is a drink is best enjoyed among friends. Looks like it’s time to call some friends you’ve been meaning to catch up with! I had my first one at an Irish bar downtown and boy, does it taste chocolatey! Before you know it, you’ll be chugging a lot of alcohol quicker than you had anticipated!...

PSA: blood oranges have a slightly different taste than regular oranges and a dramatically different look! They make for quite a knockout of a drink ? Here, I used pink Himalayan salt for...
Old Fashioned
My ALL TIME favorite drink is an old fashioned cocktail. It’s the alcoholic equivalent to pizza! A not so guilty pleasure? When it’s done right it’s amazing! When it’s done poorly, it’s not all that bad, either. I will, of course, be making mine correctly with this old fashioned recipe honed over many evenings. Here...
Grapefruit Mojito up with a Twist
With all the grapefruit and champagne syrup left over from my last recipe, I concocted a new recipe so they wouldn’t go to waste! Delicious. I wondered if I should use it for a different dessert but in my heart but in my heart, I knew a cocktail was in order! ???? The most fun...
