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
Summer Spritzer – so refreshing!
Homemade espresso martini frappe – slushy and perfect for hot days when all you wanna do is crunch on ice
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 today’s shake-up you’ll need:
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!
Oh la la, I said husband! So Joe and I had a crazy food night making spicy quesadillas and Hi-C margaritas! I say crazy because of the copious amounts of jalapenos that went into making them 😉 Give these a try for a fun date night or dinner with friends . . . oh oh have a game night!
Please Subscribe to my channel if you haven’t, I love creating these food/ beverage nights with you!
I’ll find any excuse to put coconut anything into everything. Today for your #WineNotWednesday shake up, we’re making a coconut infused vodka mint lemonade! It’s just as refreshing and delicious as it sounds.
Shake it up baby! You’ll need:
Place mint, strawberries, ice, and vodka into a shaker and shake it up. Kind of muddle the mint and strawberries together before adding in 2 oz lemonade, 1 oz vodka (or 2 if you like), and 1 oz coconut water. Pour the goodness into a glass and garnish with jalepeno slices, mint leaves, kiwi, and ENJOY! Sip responsibly. Love, mom
Do you love coconut? You either love it or hate it and if you love it than you put it in everythingggg!
