For me, Superbowl is as much about the eating and drinking as it is about the football. Maybe more, actually. That’s why it’s always a kind of a bummer when I go to a Superbowl party and the only thing around for me to wash down all those delightfully salty, greasy, junky snacks is beer….read more »
Fizzy Apple Cider Punch
What is going on with the weather, people? One second it’s 55 degrees and freezing everywhere, the next second I’m running outside with a warm breeze on my face. And, rumor has it that it’s going to be 80 degrees and sunny on Sunday. Looks like summer isn’t giving up without a fight. Or, you…read more »
Twisted Strawberry Lemonade
Last week, David Leibovitz’s blog had a delicious-looking guest post on strawberry vodka. Soon after that, TasteSpotting and FoodGawker exploded with entries showcasing different fruit-infused vodkas. Since everyone else was doing it… Yeah, I hopped on the infused vodka train. Ripe strawberries smell so good! And after three days in a tightly sealed jar with…read more »
Blueberry-Limoncello Cooler
Maybe it’s just my imagination, but I’m pretty sure the limoncello is getting stronger.

Pomegranate-Champagne Rum Punch
“Today I don’t feel like doing anything, I just wanna lay in bed. Don’t feel like picking up my phone, so leave a message at the tone, ‘Cause today I swear I’m not doing anything.” I’m loving this new Bruno Mars song today! It really captures the way I feel about how my Saturday is…read more »
Mango Daiquiris
I think it’s pretty obvious by now that I’m a girly drink kind of gal. I mean, I could try to roll with the boys and throw back beers and booze on the rocks, but why suffer? I like sugar. I like fruit. I don’t like the taste of alcohol. It would just be silly…read more »
Strawberry Margaritas
It’s the weekend, the weather is 82 degrees and sunny, and I’ve just been treated to a delicious sushi buffet for lunch. Could my birthday get any better? Yes, but only if you throw in a pitcher of freshly blended strawberry margaritas (and a nap)! Tequila and I never used to be friends. But, that’s…read more »
