  • Summer Sparkling White Sangria

    Summer Sparkling White Sangria

    August screams for SANGRIA, right?! Icy, sparkling, white, light sangria filled with fresh summer fruit! Perrrrfect. I made a red sangria a couple years ago (totally underrated recipe, by the way – I may need to remake that and feature it again!) So now it seemed time for white sangria, which typically is the only…

  • Grapefruit Maraschino Cocktail

    Happy Monday! Here’s a little grapefruit maraschino cocktail if you need happy hour after your Monday back to work… OR for those of you who have the day off, maybe you’ll start your cocktail hour a little early today, eh? It’s inspired by an awesome cocktail I had at a local bar called The Ernest…

  • Vanilla Spiced Pear Cocktail

    Vanilla Spiced Pear Cocktail

    Over the weekend, I had the BEST cocktail. I actually had no idea what I was ordering or what was in it, but still took on the challenge of remaking it 😉 I went out to Broderick’s Roadhouse with my family on Friday to try their vegan chef challenge menu. I actually ordered off their…

  • Summer Elderflower Shandy

    Summer Elderflower Shandy

    Official summer drink acquired! I haven’t had a shandy in a loooong time, and I’m pretty sure the last time I had one I didn’t like beer. Kind of a problem. Until last weekend. I had an awesome shandy at a local bar called Low Brau (I’ve mentioned it before because they serve fantastic vegan…

  • Cold-Brew Kahlua Cafe Au Lait

    Guys, it is HOT outside. I picked a horrible time to move, and have been sweating my butt off getting myself all packed and organized and moved out/in. When it finally was almost done and I had one more quick handful to bring up to Preston’s from my car, Preston offered coffee. Yes, sounds perfect.…

  • Pattaya Beach | 2 Ingredient Cocktail

    Hi, folks!  Happy Monday….?  Sorry I’ve been slow this past week, I was trying to focus my free time on some spring cleaning and all that getting-my-life-in-order stuff 🙂 That’s as under control as it’s going to be. To celebrate, a cocktail!  Woo hoo 🙂

  • Maraschino Cherry Cake w/ Elderflower-Honey Buttercream

    It’s birthday cake time! Last year I made a drunken Frangelico blueberry cake, and the year before it was an amaretto-drenched cake. Plus, for Preston’s birthday he got an orange brown sugar whiskey cake. Boozy cakes have become a birthday tradition. True to that lovely tradition, my mom made me INCREDIBLE tiramisu cupcakes for the…

  • Fizzy Prosecco Sunrise

    Need a sparkly drink for New Year’s Eve?!  You could sip this as the ball drops, or the next morning during brunch.  I made this for Christmas morning, and I’m so happy with it.  It’s a cross between a tequila sunrise and a mimosa.  Sold.  Simple, gorgeous, and tasty! 

  • Blueberry Coconut Margarita (No Sugar Added)

    I present to you the health foodie’s margarita.  I’m not sure how else you could make a margarita more guiltless.  This bad boy is a nice refreshing drink of superfoods without any added sugar. It couldn’t be simpler to make, either, and only has five ingredients!

  • Maple Sugar Cookie Hot Toddy

    I’m thinking of doing a new series on the blog called I’m Awesome at Turning Manly Drinks Into Girly Drinks.  Do you like it? Okay, maybe it doesn’t need to be a series. But I am really loving this.  Last year, I got hooked on hot toddys (toddies?) and I loved them.  This year, I…
