With Cinco de Mayo in just a few days, shouldn’t we be talking about margaritas? Well, you’re in luck!

(Although it’s finally warm this week! Hooray!)

We’re one day closer to the holiday weekend, friends, and I couldn’t let the end of the week creep up on us without one final fancy shot recipe for you! Today we’re talking watermelon slice Jell-O shots. Made with fresh watermelon juice, they look deceptively like real watermelon slices, which pretty much means they’re going …
I have a thing for a good paloma that I just can’t shake. Especially this time of year! Traditionally made with tequila and either freshly squeezed grapefruit juice and club soda or a grapefruit soda, I decided I wanted to try my hand at mixing up the flavors a bit. And this time of year, …
