I am overjoyed to tell you that I made my national television debut this morning on Breakfast Television! You can catch the whole segment below where I shook up two tea-infused cocktails for summer! Here are the full recipes below, plus a third cocktail that we didn’t quite get to on the segment: Earl Grey…

El Diablo
Listen, I know drinks have been dominating the content around here lately. I had intended for today’s post to be a fabulous shrimp and Israeli couscous dish that I’ve recently perfected. I went to make the dish today to shoot for the blog only to realize that I’d used up all my Israeli couscous the…
Watermelon Paloma
Guys! Patio season is finally upon us. I also caught a glimpse that my condo is prepping the pool. Fingers firmly crossed that it will be open for this scorcher of a weekend. Aside from the universal feeling of stir craziness, I’m particularly elated about the prospect of the pool because it was under construction…
Cinco de Mayo Recipes
I typically host an annual Cinco de Mayo party but that will be out of the question for 2020 as we all continue to do our part to flatten the curve through physical distancing. That being said, I’m still hoping to inspire a little bit of festive spirit for this Mexican holiday by sharing a…
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…
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…
Feliz Navidad
Oh, you don’t think of margaritas when you think of Christmas? Well, I’ve put together this handy checklist to determine whether or not margaritas are a seasonally appropriate cocktail for the holidays. Can you make a margarita with seasonal juices like pomegranate and clementine? Check. Can you make a margarita in Christmas appropriate shade of…
Tequila Monkey Gland
Pour yourself a glass of this Tequila Monkey Gland, a cocktail that typically calls for gin, which I’ve simply swapped out for this agave based spirit, and settle in for story time. From ages 12 to 17, I lived on a farm. I’m sure the will come as a shock to many of you who…
Picante Pineapple-Hibiscus Punch
Few things are better than a spicy cocktail, in my opinion. Coming into an unexpected windfall of money like the kind you get from the Community Chest in Monopoly? Also good. Finding someone on a dating app who looks like their photos, can carry a conversation, and isn’t a fuckboy? Next to impossible, but buy…
Spicy Mango Margarita
Cinco de Mayo = tequila time. I will be hosting my 4th annual Cinco de Mayo party on Saturday (May the Fourth) because I’m too old to have the club going up on a Sunday. Cinco de Mayo is an annual celebration observed on May 5th to commemorate the Mexican Army’s victory over the French…
