Cheers to the freakin’ weekend <3 This Saturday Sip is dedicated to my love of mangos and smoky tequila!
Smoky, spicy, tangy, and sweet, there’s something for everyone! Full recipe up now on my IGTV, lil preview seen here with Joe and I were there was a lot of smiling, a lot of tequila, and drinking. A lot of that too 😉
Are you a fan of the smoky tequila? How about tequila in general? It’s my favorite! Enjoy responsibly and I’ll see you next week, happy Saturday bbs <3
Every city in the world may not be as hot as Los Angeles is right now but man oh man, have we been on a heat wave! Since you’re bound to go through a Summer season of your own I wanted to share with you my favorite summer recipes that are definite crowd pleasers.
So for your next girls day, catch up brunch, bbq, or BYOB- I’ve got you! These will take you no time at all and you probably already have the ingredients to get cookin’. Here’s a Summer ‘salad’ and two of the yummiest and easiest cocktails.
Disclaimer: if you know me than you already know this ‘salad’ is not an actual traditional leafy green ‘salad’. It’s one of my go-to summer salads though and one of my best girlfriends introduced me to it!
Lentil Salad- this is a cold salad
one package of cooked lentils from Trader Joe’s
one whole bruschetta tub- drained of juices
chopped red onion and cucumbers
chopped kale would be yummy here too with some sprinkles of vinaigrette but we were out
salt & pepper
mix all together, top with some fresh basil, enjoy with home made tortilla chips (like we did) or by itself, or even over a real traditional leafy salad 😉
Summer Spritzer – so refreshing!
your favorite rose´ wine
sparkling water (I used watermelon because yummm)
whatever fresh fruit you like
fill your glass 2/3 of the way with the wine and top with bubbly water and fruit
Homemade espresso martini frappe – slushy and perfect for hot days when all you wanna do is crunch on ice
cold brew, iced coffee concentrate, or espresso shot
whatever milk you like, I used almond coconut for creaminess
4-5 ice cubes
drizzle of maple syrup
Kahlua – I used a whole shot just because
combine coffee, milk, ice, and maple syrup into a blender. Top with Kahlua and stir, garnish with espresso beans. ENJOY!
P.S. did you know today is National Tequila Day?! One of my favorite adult beverages has a whole day! For my fellow wine moms/people out there, this is for you. I’m concocting an entire recipe list for tequila don’t you worry!
Halloween is this week and I’m all for an easy themed cocktail just as much as I’m up for an easy costume! This is the Vampiress Kiss, it’s delicious, Rum-my, sweet, and you’ll just need one… kinda like that vampiress kiss, only takes one.
What you’ll need:
– Captain Morgan’s White Rum
– Coconut Rum
– Ice
– Kahlua
– coconut essence
– Milk
For the Vampiress Kiss Drizzle:
– Sugar
– Cherry juice
Method: add ice to a tumbler and combine an oz of white rum with an oz of coconut rum, splash of coconut essence, half an oz kahlua, 1/4 cup milk, and SHAKE
For the drizzle you’ll combine one part sugar to two parts juice in a small pot and boil the mixture until thickened. Then drizzle that goodness into a martini glass and try not to lick the pot. Or do!
I hope you enjoyed this easy and not so spooky Halloween themed cocktail and have a safe and happy Halloween babes!
What are your plans? Staying in or braving the chilly weather and going trick or treating?
It’s #WineNotWednesday babes and today we’re making a dairy-free White Russian cocktail with a twist! A lil zing of coffee cold brew baby!
I particularly like this recipe because I’m dairy free now, it tends to upset my stomach and this version still has the richness of the original minus the kick, literally. I replaced the dark liqueur with cold brew and this Stumptown is one of my favorites! ps chocolate liqueur everything please and thank you!
For this deliciousness you’ll just need to pour 1/4 cup cold brew, a few shots of vodka, some ice, and a shot of liqueur into your shaker and shake it up!
Pour that into your glass and stir in gently 1/4 cup almond milk and garnish with nutmeg! Enjoy babe!
Does this recipe sound just like an espresso martini? LOL it just may be! I didn’t google it before making, I just threw it together for you so try it out and let me know what you think!
I felt so inspired booking our Bali honeymoon that I created a lil vacation in a blender for you! This cocktail IS A VACATION for your senses! Yes all of them because it smells like an island, it’s so pretty to look at, and it tastes tropical and mangoey! I love mango and coconut anything so here’s this #SaturdaySip just for you!
In a blender add an entire can of your chosen Malibu flavored canned beverage, 2 oz of Malibu Coconut Rum, and 1/4 of the frozen blended juice. Toss in sliced mango, lime juice, ice, and blend. E N J O Y!
I made two ninja blenders worth of this magical drink and Joe and I had a tropical dance party in our living room. Beachy music and all!
Please sip responsibly and let me know what summer flavors you’d like to see in this week’s #WineNotWednesday!
Things are heating up on this season of Game Of Thrones so I thought I’d follow suit with this week’s #SaturdaySip! A warm lil stir up with coconut rum, apple cider, and cinnamon!
Pour equal parts of rum and cider into a cup (yes I like it strong like the label says!), top with a sprinkle of cinnamon, and garnish with fresh apple slices! Enjoy!
Are you loving these themed GOT drinks?! I actually have the most fun time trying to figure out what I’m going to stir up or shake up for you each week! xoxo
Winter is here! Yassss it is week two of GOT season 7 and I’m so excited to share with you a new drink each week in its honor! This will be an especially themed #SaturdaySip for your Sunday’s viewing pleasure, and today’s shake up is “Winer Is Here”!
Shake it up baby! You’ll need:
