The Evergreen Gimlet

Hey, hey, Happy First Friday of the new year!

Let’s kick it off with a drink, shall we?

Making simple syrup is, well, simple. Just use equal parts of water and sugar, bring to a boil, then add in your flavor. Let it cool, and use.

Throw everything in a shaker with ice, annnnd shake, shake, shake!

You know I simply had to whip out my snake ice mold for the first Martini Moment of 2025.

Enjoy the weekend!

A Simple Sip

Happy Friday, All!

Let’s make a cocktail to celebrate the weekend!

This drink is perfect for walking in the door after work and throwing together a very simple sip. No fresh mint on hand? Honestly you can do one drop of mint extract if you happen to have it. Have neither? Oh well, play through.

what you do:

Throw some mint into a glass with a few wedges of lime and muddle.

Add some ice, then your rum, and top with Sprite (I used Sprite Zero).

Garnish with mint and lime and you’ve got yourself the perfect Friday cocktail with not much effort.

I hope you all have a fabulous last weekend in January. Also how is it still January?

Anywho, cheers, Friends!

Capri in a Cup

Hey Fab Friends!

Every time I sip Limoncello I am immediately transported to the Amalfi Coast in Capri where I had tried it for the first time. I was blown away! If you aren’t into sipping an Aperol Spritz this summer, try one of these delicious limoncello drinks! They are really fast and completely hit the spot on a hot summer day.

what you do:

Simply add limoncello, vodka, and lemon juice to your chosen glass and then top with champagne and garnish. Then immediately head to the patio to enjoy!

This has really been my summertime cocktail. So refreshing. Garnishing it with fresh basil really adds another fresh element.

Next up!

Another easy one. And here is what you do: add equal parts : limoncello, vodka, and lemonade and throw those over ice and enjoy!

These drinks are perfect for wrapping up another summer in the sun. I hope after reading this you head to the store for some limoncello! I also hope that this fabulous Friday meets you with a some fun and a delicious, chilled cocktail!
