We all like rooting for the underdog. Being popular and a huge success and knocking it out of the park all the time can be sooooo boring. But there’s a reason some things are as successful as they are – donuts, Paris, roses, Beyonce, waterfalls….MARGARITAS! They’ve earned their rightful place in this popularity contest we call life. (BTW, […]
Game, set…SMASH! It’s official, Spring has sprung, and with it all of the fresh fruits and blossoms and herbs are bursting at the seams here in California. And my severe seasonal allergies to it all can prove it! You know what I’m not allergic to? Sipping on delicious rum drinks whilst playing table tennis in […]
When Kim Wiseley, Editor-in-Chief of Flutter Magazine reached out to me about featuring three spring-time cocktail creations for their Spring Issue, also their 2017 Astrology Edition, I was totally on board. Sparkly, floral, love-inspired cocktails? I can do that! And when she mentioned that instead of a photoshoot to capture the drinks I created, she was working with […]
As Memorial Day weekend quickly approaches and summer starts to tease, I can’t help but get a little giddy about one of my most favorite times of year; That’s right, it’s Spritz Season! While I’m partial to a well made spritz any time of year, there’s nearly nothing as refreshing during the warmer months than this low alcohol, bittersweet sparkler. However, […]
Remember all the way back to a few days ago, when I posted a tutorial for how to make limoncello? And, that part at the end of the post, where I promised to fill you all in about the most perfect Lemon Drop cocktail made from limoncello?? Well, here it is! Sometimes I really come […]
Today is technically Spring! But, as is often the case, New York and the greater northeast region for that matter, has not quite gotten the memo. I heard some super mean rumor about it snowing this weekend. Harhar, real funny, guys. Psych! I’m not laughing. Good thing I have my very own batch of liquid […]
Spring, spring, spring, spring, spring, SPRIIIIIINNNNNGGGG! It’s finally here! And with it comes a whole batch of inspired, fresh flavors. In lieu of chocolate bunnies and marshmallow chicks today, make this herbaceous, springtime treat. Galliano Liqueur is absurdly underused in cocktails. It is occasionally used as a digestif in Italy but most people associate it […]
It’s TRUE! Spring has officially arrived just in time to rescue all of us from what has seemed like a never-ending Game of Thrones winter of pain. You know what that means?? Spring Cocktail Fever! I don’t know about you, but I am full-on cocktail crushing all over town. Take last night’s Cocktail Crush at The […]
Did you know that the Spanish word for daisy is margarita? It’s true! Maybe you already knew this and are better at languages than me (probably), but I studied French in highschool, and I’m still working on my English, so finding this out a few years ago was a revelation for me! It is no […]
New York City was glorious this past weekend. The light: magic. The air: fragrant. The soundtrack: chirping birds and wind chimes. The sun shone DIRECTLY into my soul. It was heavenly. It felt like an angry, dirty, sludgy Instagram filter had been lifted from the entire city and that winter could possibly be on its […]
