A Summer Spritz

Happy Friday Lovelies!

I believe I may have stumbled on my drink of the summer, All. I’m a savory chick so I love a good gin martini. But, this is no ordinary martini. It’s so light and refreshing. Grab a coupe and let’s go…

what you do:

Fill your coupe with ice (I love a huge ice ball myself) and simply throw everything in the glass. Run the lemon peel around the rim, and drop in a few olives. I always use three. An even number is bad luck and…I don’t like even numbers.

The secret to this one is the olive oil. It adds so much richness. Also, when it comes to gin, I used Broker’s. Why? Their marketing won be over because the bottle has a top hat. Who can pass that up? Not this girl.

Also, also, don’t like gin? Use vodka. Easy fix.

So who’s coming for martinis?

Have a wonderful Friday and have some good sips this holiday weekend!

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!
