Spicy Pineapple Mint Juleps

April 23, 2015 14 Comments

Today’s recipe is inspired by a margarita Dan and I had once at a tequileria called the Mala Suerte (“bad luck”). It was made with spicy habanero infused tequila, grapefruit juice, and lime juice, and came with a sugar rim. Since I generally hate peppers and they hate me, I thought for sure that the drink would be disgusting, but damned if it…read more »

Sunday Brunch: Tropical Orange Smoothies

April 19, 2015 4 Comments

Short post today, folks! It was too nice outside this weekend to be cooped up in my kitchen, so instead of getting fancy with brunch, I just threw together a quick smoothie with fresh mango, banana, carrot and the pineapple I had leftover from making lava flows last week. I’m calling it a Tropical Orange…read more »

Lava Flow Cocktails…and a GIVEAWAY! {GIVEAWAY CLOSED}

April 15, 2015 50 Comments

Happy April 15th, everyone! Have y’all filed your taxes yet? Dan took care of ours earlier in the week, which is great for me because filing taxes is one of my least favorite things to do. Even with TurboTax guiding me along, filling out my tax forms every year is amazingly stressful. In the back of my mind…read more »

Apple Pie Bourbon Cocktail

February 24, 2015 8 Comments

If the Apple Pie Infused Bourbon I made last week was Dan’s favorite blog recipe ever, then this is definitely his favorite cocktail I’ve ever made. Admittedly, he tends to like all my boozy concoctions, but I’ve never seen him get quite so ecstatic about any of my other drink recipes. I’m honestly a little embarrassed to tell…read more »

Apple Pie & Peach Infused Bourbons

February 23, 2015 19 Comments

Funny story – today’s recipe was originally supposed to be a Valentine’s Day post. A few days before V-Day, I read an article somewhere (probably Buzzfeed) that said something along the lines of “if you REALLY love someone, make them infused liquor.” It was a silly, fun puff piece but for some reason it really spoke to me. Do you guys watch The…read more »

Happy Thursday, everyone! It’s been a while, but I’m finally back with a Thirsty Thursday drink post, and y’all…it’s a good one. Tinto de Verano! Ever heard of it? Me neither!

Thirsty Thursdays: Peach Coolers

June 26, 2014 8 Comments

Now that the summer solstice has come and gone, summer is well and truly upon us. Which means…it’s hot. Not quite as hot as it was this time last year, but still plenty sticky and gross. And, now that school is out for the summer, DC is flooded with tourists, which I’m convinced makes the city feel…read more »

Thirsty Thursdays: Watermelon Sangria

June 19, 2014 2 Comments

Guys, it’s Thursday already. How did that happen? Where did the week go? Thank god I had the foresight to make a big pitcher of watermelon sangria on Tuesday because, as always, this week’s Thirsty Thursday really snuck up on me big time. Which is why this post is late…again. Some day I will be super…read more »

Thirsty Thursdays: Pomegranate Lemonade Spritzers

June 5, 2014 13 Comments

Happy Thursday, everyone! Sorry this week’s Thirsty Thursday post is a little late…I am a lazy slacker, and sometimes it’s hard to get motivated to make drinks + take photos + write a witty post. But hey, there are 2 more hours left in the day, so it’s all good! Right? Right. Today’s post is inspired by a drink I saw on Buzzfeed…read more »

Now that the days are getting a little warmer (but not today…wtf, 60 degrees + rain?), I’ve decided to start a new blog series called “Thirsty Thursdays”.
