The Jellybeantini: A Super-Sweet Easter Cocktail
If I'm being totally honest, I have to admit that I hacked this idea for an Easter-candy cocktail from my colleague. She created a beautiful conversation-heart martini around Valentine's Day, and it planted a seed of an idea—a bean of an idea, if you will, in my brain. Related: ...read more

Our Favorite Sweet Strawberry Cocktail Recipes
I'm a simple girl (and, no that's not meant to be an oxymoron). I like my libations clean, strong, and slightly sweet. One of my favorite cocktail ingredients: fresh strawberries. Muddle one up and throw it into just about any spiked drink, and I'm one very happy—and hopefully ...read more

Saturday Sips: The Pink-Flamingo Cocktail
Flamingos are majorly on trend right now. I've had to stop myself—multiple times—from buying the ridiculously oversized hot-pink pool float that's been all over Instagram and magazine spreads (I'm sure you know exactly what I'm talking about). My 18-month-old daughter has ...read more

Saturday Sips: Spicy Tequila Sunrise

Saturday Sips: Barr Hill Gin is the Bee's Knees
I tell my almost-four-year-old son not to judge a book by its cover... But I have to admit it, I'm guilty of judging my liquor by its label. If it's not attractive, I don't want to drink it. (But, Grant, just know that I'm a grownup and you're a toddler. Our rules are different. ...read more

Saturday Sips: Wine Awesomeness
It's safe to say that I love drinking wine. While I have my favorite go-tos, I also like to branch out and find new favorites. I don't have the time to study and curate wines for myself though, and that's why I like wine subscription services. Wine Awesomeness is more than a ...read more
