Watermelon Margarita Recipe Straight from the Watermelon!

If you follow me on Instagram, you would know I was off from my 9-5 all last week. I spend an entire week on the North Fork lounging around and it was much need.

Westchester Living: Food I Love – Flinders Lane Stamford

Rosemary Honey Spritz with Peony Vodka

Today I’ve teamed up with a Hudson Valley local vodka company, Peony Vodka. Let me tell you this stuff will get the party started! It has such a mild taste that I wanted to add more to the drink when I first tasted it. I’m so happy I didn’t because halfway through I was already feeling it. This stuff is potent! I also love working and using local companies because they are a great conversation starter and who else better to support than your neighbors! Creating beautiful impressive cocktails is a skill I’ve always wanted to possess. Now more than ever I’ve been…
