S’mores Hot Cocoa

This weekend needed a little bit of hot cocoa. Most of it was so great! But sometimes when your pup pee-walks over your shoe and then poops in your car the only thing to do is drink hot cocoa by your borrowed pink christmas tree with your new magazine and just muster up a mental fireplace to complete the picture. But mostly you guys… graham cracker honey marshmallows?! These s’mores-ify the heck out of this super…

Moscow Mule

This song makes me dance, this picture makes me happy, this dude makes me swoon, and this drink reminds me of going to New York, and Christmas Eve and Green Dot Stables. I love it! And there’s something so special about drinking this out of a copper mug. And there’s something even more special about making your own ginger beer. And well, I’d like to whip these up and cheers with a hottie! I’d like to…

Lemonade

If you offer someone lemonade on a toasty day, they’ll probably hug you. If you offer them lemonade with strawberry infused vodka in it, they might just kiss you on the face. Be ready for it. I made this for my family when they were in town. We chugged it. We guzzled it. I should’ve made more of it. I needed it again in my life! You can even go crazy with this recipe and use some…

Fruity Boozy Ice Cream Floats

If you want to impress your dog bake him these treats. If you want to impress your bread, make this jam. If you want to impress your sisters, make strawberry infused vodka and orange creamsicle ice cream floats. My sisters aren’t my neighbors. One lives in Illinois, the other lives in Minnesota. So when I knew these two lovely ladies were going to stay with me this weekend, I knew I needed to get girly with…

Cold-Brewed Iced Coffee

I’m an avid coffee drinker. My dad used to pour me a teeny cup of it as a kid. It was mostly milk, but he called it a mocha. I felt grown up. But let me tell you, I just can’t drink it right now. I can’t drink hot coffee when I’m already hot. I just can’t. So I cold-brewed some French roast, not French toast. (Although now I want French toast…) We made this…

Belgian Hot Chocolate for Two

Let’s drink hot chocolate together, ok? Let’s drink it while looking out the window at my car that’s stuck in a snow pile. Let’s drink it while watching Jake make BLTs for lunch. And let’s sip it while Elliot snores under his penguin blanket. Let’s drink it while sweeping the floor clean of sprinkles, and between loads of laundry, and while listening to The Clash. Mostly, let’s just drink hot chocolate on a snow day…

Raspberry Lemonade

You know what? You guys are the best. Have I told you that lately? Just know it. And thanks for stopping by and taking a sip of this lemonade. You know what else? I made a double recipe of this goodness because I wanted the only pitcher I own (that I love and never have a chance to use) to be full to the brim. P.S. The doubled recipe is below. Feel free to cut…
