One of the most common questions I get is, “What do I need in my home bar?” I’ve been getting a lot more of these questions lately since I started hosting my nightly virtual happy hour on Instagram. In the interest of taking some of the guesswork out of the art of building a well-curated…
Tipples
Earl Grey Sour
Today is the first day of Spring and I’m marking the occasion with a little help from my friends at Sipsmith who generously gifted me this bottle of their London Dry Gin, a couple of Fever Tree tonics and their SIP 100 Gin Cocktails With Only 3 Ingredients book. I wanted to feature a cocktail…
Empire State Sipper
I’m very excited to announce that I will soon be introducing fashion content to the blog. Today’s post is kind of dipping my toe in the water, a mix of fashion, some photos featuring moi, and a delicious cocktail recipe. For those of you who follow me on Instagram, you’ll know that I often share…
Midsummer Gin Dream
A friend reached out and asked if I could feature some easier cocktails that don’t require any hard-to-find ingredients, days of infusing, or an array of bar tools that you don’t own. So, here is the Midsummer Gin Dream, a simple, build-in-glass cocktail that is a subtle riff on the standard gin and tonic. Because…
Tequila Surprise
I have returned from my extra long weekend in Austin with my limbs and dignity intact, although I may have put back on some of the weight I’d lost in my Whole30 Challenge. I ventured on this indulgent four-day trip of eating and drinking with my friends and coworkers Kayla and Josie. In advance of…
Superhero Sipper
God bless – booze is back on the blog. It has been a hot minute since we wrapped up the 2019 edition of the Let’s Get Blitzen: Cocktail Advent Calendar on December 24th and I am REJOICING to have my shaker back in hand because I need a drink. I’m jumping in with both feet…
Blood Orange Rosewater Mocktail
Guys, it’s Day 16 of Whole30, I’m past the halfway point but I was missing my cocktail shaker more than my mom missed me when I moved away to university. (JUST KIDDING MOM! It’s not possible to miss anything that much) I decided to take matters, and by matters, I mean my cocktail shaker, into…
Blue Christmas
Let’s Get Blitzen: Cocktail Advent Calendar – Day 24 – Blue Christmas. WE DID IT!!! Today is the final episode of the 2019 edition of this calendar. We are finishing things off with an unexpected conclusion – tequila. I’ve published a couple other drinks with an agave base thus far – the Snowbird and the…
Pear Magic
Let’s Get Blitzen: Cocktail Advent Calendar – Day 23 – Pear Magic. Only two more sleeps until Christmas – are you done your Christmas shopping? Have you wrapped your presents? Have you gotten into a heated debate about Trump impeachment proceedings with in-laws/extended family yet? So little time, so much to do. Luckily, this Pear…
Lilac Luminaria
Let’s Get Blitzen: Cocktail Advent Calendar – Day 22 = Lilac Luminaria. In case this is the first time you’ve seen the word “luminaria” it’s a small paper lantern, commonly a paper bag with a candle set inside. It’s significant in Hispanic cultures around Christmastime. I’ve named this cocktail “Lilac Luminaria” because it is a…
