Cocktails

  My sister spent a semester abroad in Ireland – I never made it to visit her at school but we did a family jaunt to Dublin while Emma and I were traveling in Europe one spring. Emma said when they would go out to the bars in Galway all the little old ladies would […]

Two weeks ago my sister Emma came over for a full day of cooking, baking + recipe creating- which is always a fun way to spend a Sunday! The next day Kate came over and snapped a bunch of pictures of our creations. We wanted to come up with a St. Patrick’s Day cocktail that […]

  Happy Friday! It’s been a long, emotional week and I’m looking forward to finding some time to relax and catch up on styling projects this weekend. I may cheat on my cleanse and enjoy a cocktail or two – one being this refreshing Orange Cosmo! Read on for the recipe.    Back in December […]

  This cocktail is so easy to make and it’s equally as delicious.    It has sorbet in it, so it’s definietly more of a post-dinner drink or something to sip on at a Valentine’s party with your girlfriends. I think it would also be great for a bridal shower! Bottoms up!    The French […]

  I don’t know about you but during the bitter cold winter months I crave fresh citrus flavors, warm tea and cozy comfort food almost daily. I decided to put a winter twist on the classic champagne cocktail (lemon slice, sugar cube & a dash of bitters) to satisfy that seasonal craving for something with […]

Last year I shared my favorite holiday cocktail — The Poinsettia and it’s so good for this time of year that I’m posting it again! We’ll be making a big pitcher for Christmas Eve — which just may be a new tradition around here :) Images by Yvonne Rock Photo.    The Poinsettia 1/4 cup […]

I love the addition of fresh herbs in cocktails – they add a refreshing scent and taste but I mostly love the way they look! I created a little sage simple syrup (equal parts sugar, water + 3 sage leaves) and added a bit to Prosecco. Easy and different twist on a glass of bubbly! […]

Happy almost Thanksgiving!! I can’t believe the holiday season is almost officially upon us – my favorite time of the entire year! Today I’m sharing a super easy Thanksgiving punch that’s ideal to sip on while you slave away in the kitchen or as a cocktail before your meal. It’s a little easier than my […]

Happy Friday! Hope you had a great Halloween. I was a little dissapointed in our amount of trick o’ treaters last night and am left to be tempted by a basket of candy all weekend! This cocktail is perfect for a fall night — I’m thinking of making it tonight to have with this salad. […]

I served this yummy Apple Cider Sangria at my birthday party last weekend and it was a hit. I use apple cider just about anytime I can this time of year and when thinking of a recipe I could create for a group I knew it had to include it. This is so easy to make and […]

Looking for something fun to do this weekend? Invite over your girl friends, pick up some bubbly, fresh cider and donuts and have yourselves a fun weekend brunch! Apple cider is my preferred mimosa mixer year round, but the fresh varieties available this time of year make this seasonal drink extra delicious during the fall. […]

  You guys. I found my new favorite cocktail. Obviously it’s made to sip in the sun, preferably in the South of France, but at the pool in the Napa Valley will do just as well :)  Dubonnet is a new-to-me French aperitif and I seriously can’t get enough! On me: gifted Calypso St. Barth […]
