Rosemary + Orange Holiday Negronis

I think one of my biggest accomplishments of the weekend was making THIS cocktail. This cocktail that had an egg white topper, and making it + drinking it felt just so fancy. We got the shaker out, we shook + cracked eggs + juiced fruits, and we made these Rosemary + Orange Holiday Negronis.

Pumpkin Margaritas

Sweet, delicious, and made with Incline Hopped - and I love any cocktail incorporating Incline. This Pumpkin Margarita recipe is sticking around for year after year repeats. It’s for sure sweet, and gives a bit of a dessert vibe, but it’s enjoyable + feels like a really fun Fall treat.

Watermelon Cosmos

Watching Sex and the City + sipping on the Watermelon Cosmos + overall just feeling like a fucking queen. I’m usually light on the alcohol during the week, but this week I was extra good going sans alcohol Mon through Thurs, and I’ve honestly been SAVING myself for a good Summer cocktail. These watermelon drinks are THE Summer cocktail.

Spicy Beer-ita

Another weekend happy hour, another margarita variation. I’m really proving to be a one trick pony here with the drinks, but I guess it’s a sign I love a good marg. But this one has a fun twist: beer! & also freshly pickled fresno chiles that give this drink spicy, & kind of vinegary kick. Think kombucha margarita - the Spicy Beer-ita kind of has this vibe.

Grapefruit + Mint Margaritas

Big plans for our quarantine weekend: have an at-home fiesta and get top 10 wasted. Yes - I came up with the term top 10 wasted, and I would love to say that it was a thing that just happened, but no - it was pre-planned. Because if you can’t make time to nurse a hangover during the Corona quarantine than when the hell can you?

Spicy Cucumber Margaritas

Clearly margaritas are my drink of Summer 2019 since they’re the only thing that have made their way onto the blog this summer as far as drinks go. & maybe I’m just tired of looking at bottles of untouched tequila in my garage & I’ve finally been lured into breaking into the stash. & añejo is the name of my game. More because I’m curious since silver tequila is always my go-to. The brown stuff just seems scary, and not cocktail friendly. But we have tons of it, so I figure time to get accustomed.

Watermelon Margaritas

I am the queen of stocking up on fresh fruits at the grocery with full intention live my life as an extra healthy human & eat them - have them for dessert to curb a sweet tooth & snack on them for an easy bite. I’m like lured in by how pretty they look and I think to myself “I want to eat be the person that eats fruit on reg.” But it’s inevitable - I always end up wanting something salty for a quick snack,

Backyard Margaritas

Let’s. Talk. Margaritas. The most refreshing cocktail that can be easily ruined by a super shitty margarita mix. Honest to god there are few things more disappointing than getting a super sweet, super artificial tasting marg when you’re hoping for a drink that’s refreshing & lime-y to it’s core. With the busy week we’ve had & it being Cinco, I tackled my own version of margs that was sans all things artificial to create the perfect Backyard Marg. No low calorie or “fresh” pre-made mixes - just a bunch of limes, a little elbow grease, and my husbands tequila stash.
