Two Summer Mocktails That Will Leave You Feeling Refreshed

While I enjoy a good cocktail as much as the next person, mocktails can serve a purpose for me too. (AND NO, I’m not pregnant) If I’m only going to have one drink, or if it’s early in the day I’d rather have something sans alcohol. Day drinking leaves me worthless after about 3:00 p.m. and I personally find that I wake up the next morning after a cocktail with dinner at only 90% of my best self. And I’m just trying to be my best self as often as possible. Do you feel me? Well, if you do then…

Summertime Frozé Ice Pops – Thank Me Later

These are probably one of the most delicious cocktails I’ve ever made. Cocktail ice pop? Whatever you want to call them, they’re GOOD. The ones in this photo, in particular, have lasted in the freezer all week. And they’re so easy to make. So follow the instructions below for my summertime frozé ice pops and thank me later! So first, you’ll obviously need your rosé. I started out with a bottle of Adorada rosé. You can buy it here. The flavor is delicious, with hints of strawberry yet not too sweet.

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…

Being by Sanctuary Spa – Why You Should Try It Too

(Being by Sanctuary products are c/o) Being by Sanctuary Spa not only speaks to me, but they talk in my language. Any product that can promise me I’ll smell fresh AF is a product I need in my arsenal. The scents are fresh and young yet are also like nothing I’ve ever smelt before. My favorites? The chili mango and tonka bean is a perfect power scent, spicy yet sweet. At night the salted caramel and macadamia will make you crave a midnight snack. Or at least make you smell like one. Being has successfully created a product that is meant for…

Watermelon Cocktails – Eat your Fruit and Drink it too

As much as I enjoy a glass of rosé, I also love a good cocktail! So, today I’m sharing something I concocted myself, delicious watermelon cocktails. What I love about watermelon is that it keeps you hydrated while you drink. I’m very big on drinking eight ounces of water after every drink. Insane, I know but you’ll thank me when your skin still looks good and you’re not puffy and hungover the next morning. How to make the best Watermelon Cocktails: What you’ll need (makes six cocktails): 1 large watermelon 2 cans club soda 8 oz vodka 2 oz St-Germain…
