Breaking away from the day to day
Every exhausted person knows that a great cocktail can wipe away your day to day troubles. I usually reach for a glass of wine, but sometimes a cocktail is needed. Since we are technically in the winter months, anything “spiced” is needed. I live in Miami, so let’s face it, winter isn’t really coming. A…
It’s summertime and here in Miami, mangoes are plentiful. It’s hard to drive down the street and not see a mango tree in someone’s yard with the branches bending from the weight of the ripening mangoes. I LOVE mangoes!!! They are so sweet and juicy….YUM! My friend has a mango tree and a lemon…
Summertime and the livin’ is easy…… Kids are out of school and the water is fine. Time to sit in the lounge chairs and enjoy a Sparkling Blueberry Lemonade Cocktail while the kids frolick in the sprinklers and throw water balloons! Or maybe your kids want to have a lemonade stand in the front yard…just…
I was recently invited to an event at the W Hotel on South Beach that highlighted everything with California grapes. Also, Chef Lorena Garcia from “Top Chef All Stars” was there to show us how to make some recipes using California grapes. How do I pass up that opportunity? I LOVE grapes! There were yummy…
I love Sonic’s Cherry Limeades. I crave them…the little pebble ice, the tang of the lime, the sweet of the cherry. I stinkin’ love them! Well, there’s an adult version of this yummy beverage. HOT DAMN! I “debuted” it at a recent getaway with some friends and kids. It was a great beach drink!…
Ok, so now that I’m getting into the groove (mostly) of being more healthy and exercising more, I save up some calories for a cocktail here or there (and here and there). But I’m finding that there are so many choices out there to satisfy both sides. With the entering of spring, I found this…
Summer time and the livin’ is easy. Kids are swimming and the sun is extra hot. Don’t you want to cool down? What better way than with an icy fresh beverage with what else…RUM! During the summer, fresh fruit is bountiful….especially strawberries and watermelon. They are the inspiration for this week’s drink! [youtube…
What do you think of when I say “Thanksgiving?” I think of family, friends and FOOD!! Usually, there is SO much food that I don’t save room for dessert. I am a fan of pumpkin pie, but after eating, I won’t eat the pie until the next day. Here’s a way that I can have…
When it’s hot outside and we are relaxing by the pool, it’s nice to have a frosty cocktail to sip on and enjoy. Anything that will help to combat this heat is welcomed. One of my favorites is the Pink Salty Dog Cocktail. This grapefruit refresher is so yummy and not overly tart. To prep…
A few years ago, my sister decided she wanted to do a “girls only” weekend for her birthday. I didn’t even think twice! #1 It was my sister’s birthday. #2 It was NYC. #3 It was girls only. (no kids…yay!) We had an amazing time! Shopping, eating, Broadway, and drinking! Who wouldn’t love it? We…
