Today is the first day of Fall and I couldn’t be more thrilled! It’s definitely my favorite season by far. Crisp evenings, crunchy leaves, pumpkin flavored everything, and Halloween! One of the things I missed out on last year, was picking fresh apples at an orchard. It was on my bucket list for the season, but…
Cocktail
Dr. Pepper Soda Floats
Dr. Pepper is my jam. We have a love/hate relationship, becauce I try to stay away from soda as much as I can (who drinks water?!), but I always find myself running back to this staple in my liquid repitoire. There’s just something about it. Most people’s soda vice (including my husband’s) is Diet Coke,…
Citrus Sangria
It’s Thirsty Thursday! If you’re not familiar with this special weekly celebration, today is a great day to become familiar with it, because I’m sharing a special recipe that’s a perfect match! Sweet, tangy, and full of flavor, this cocktail is one that you’ll want to drink now and pin for later. Citrus flavors always…
Healthy Strawberry Margaritas
This week is only a 4 day work week for the residents of Utah (aka, me) and I couldn’t be more thrilled. Pioneer Day, the day that the pioneers settled in the state, is on Friday and I intend to celebrate the state holiday with a cool cocktail in hand. (Not exactly very “Utah-esque” of…
Shark Week Cocktail: “Blood in the Water”
It’s FRIDAY! I don’t know about you, but this week has been a doozy for me. Crazy busy schedules, what seems like an endless amount of problems popping up, and various home improvements that all decided now was the perfect time to break down. (Our front door handle was only ONE of the many things…
Blueberry Kona Pop Iced Tea Recipe
Today is national iced tea day! Iced tea is one of my very favorite drinks to serve in the warmer months. It’s really easy to make, a thirst quencher, and you can make large batches at a time, which is great for a crowd! A few years ago, I was turned on to Teavana tea. I…
Mango Mint Julep
Did you happen to catch the Kentucky Derby last weekend? Yeah, me either. One of the best parts of the race (besides the hats and the horses, of course) would have to be the signature cocktail in those classic silver cups. The mint julep is as iconic to the famous race as the fashion is,…
Blackberry Jalapeno Margarita Recipe
Easter is over and we’re heading into the meaty part of April (yeah, I said meaty…it just sounded good) and you know what that means…Cinco De Mayo is our next holiday and it happens to be right around the corner! Cinco de Mayo is definitely a fun holiday and if you’re as excited about it…
Flavored Ice Cubes
I don’t know about you guys, but I HATE water. Like, seriously loathe it. It has taken me every ounce of self control to cut soda out of my everyday life and replace it with water. It’s also taken about 5 years to actually do it. (Yes, I already know I am crazy. Yes, I…
Coffee Shooters Recipe
Usually, when I host a get-together, I struggle and spend a majority of my time trying to figure out what cocktails to serve on the menu. What type of liquor to serve, what pairs well with the meal, the type of event I’m hosting, and what variety of options I should have available. That’s a lot to wrap…
