And, hi. Can we talk about that gorgeous pink color? It’s clearly a win-win all the way around …

It’s the time of year when honestly all I want to do is hoard all the fresh fruit I can get my hands on. It’s a real thing. It happens to those of us who live north of the Mason-Dixon Line who know our days of fresh produce are limited and will all too soon …

I’m excited to share this cocktail recipe with you today because it’s one of my absolute favorites! While simple, it’s classic, crisp and refreshing. Oh, and utterly delicious. Before we dive into the recipe, first a little background, because I quite enjoy cocktails and conversation with friends. The summer of my senior year of college, …

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 …
