Summer is officially here, and it’s starting to get hot here in Virginia. Usually that means the start of cocktail season at our house, but now that I’m 30 my body suddenly won’t tolerate the endless stream of sugary, boozy beverages that I want to put into it. Acid reflux and hangovers – they’re no joke, you guys. So,…read more »
Rosemary Greyhound Cocktail
Dan says I’m a sucker because I can never say no to the nice young people/children that show up at our door with something to sell. It’s true – Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts, high school kids raising money for one thing or another…they can all usually get a few bucks from me. But in my defense, it’s…read more »
Pineapple Whiskey Sour
Spring has sprung, and that means warmer weather, which (of course) means the start of cocktail season here at Just Putzing Around the Kitchen. And with pineapple in season right now, and St. Paddy’s Day just around the corner, it seems like kind of the perfect time to introduce y’all to this killer Pineapple Whiskey Sour recipe. Reasons…read more »
Blazin’ Bulleit
Since the Patriots aren’t in the Super Bowl this year, tomorrow’s game is officially all about the food and drink for me. Which is perfect, because I’ve partnered with Smirnoff Ice to come up with a fun, tasty “FANtail” for the big day. Smirnoff Ice and I have a long and happy history. In college, it was…read more »
Champagne Cocktails + DIY Homemade Angostura Sugar Cubes
Happy 2016, everyone! Please don’t judge me for posting this NYE recipe super late. I had this post and a Christmas post almost ready to go ages ago, but I just couldn’t bring myself to pull the trigger. What can I say, 2015 was a slow blogging year for me. I don’t want to say that…read more »
Spicy Pineapple Mint Juleps
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 »
Lava Flow Cocktails…and a GIVEAWAY! {GIVEAWAY CLOSED}
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 »
Tequila Sunrise Mimosas
When our friends Dave and Lynh got married a few years ago, a group of us got together before the ceremony and treated ourselves to a bottomless brunch at a tapas place near the venue. Getting the party started early, ya know? That’s how we roll(ed). And it was a fabulous time – good food, good company, bottomless mimosas and bellinis….read more »
Apple Pie Bourbon Cocktail
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 »
Metamorphosis
Happy New Year’s Eve, everyone! Can you believe it’s almost 2015? How did that even happen? It’s crazy to think about, but in 2015 I will… Turn 29 Be in my fourth year at my current law firm Celebrate my 2-year wedding anniversary (with Dan, duh) Reach my 10-year dating anniversary (also with Dan) Enter my 5th year of blogging…read more »
