Let’s talk about the perfect poolside drink shall we? I’m pretty sure it’s this boozy watermelon lemonade infused with rosemary. Mix it up with a really good gin (my favorite is Hendricks) or substitute your favorite vodka if you’re not much into gin. Serve it up in some awesome mason jar glasses and tie a …

Specifically, this preserved lemon cocktail from Eat Boutique which I recently had to try and fell head over heels for. It’s …
I’m so pumped that it’s finally Friday! I feel like I’ve been waiting for the weekend all week this week. Admittedly, I’m ready to kick my feet up, mix up some cocktails and usher in the weekend. I love a pretty party cocktail served up in a fun glass with a colorful garnish and a …
