A Chic Rita

Hello and Happy Friday to you!

Yesterday was “National Drink Wine Day”, a pretty great holiday if you ask me. Well get ready because we have another boozy holiday coming…”National Margarita Day” which is February 22nd. I feel it is my responsibility to make sure you, my dear reader, are prepared for this not so ordinary Monday.

Keeping on brand with me I decided to give you a very chic Margarita

what you do:

It’s an easy one! Throw it all in a shaker with ice and strain over crushed ice.

I’m pretty obsessed with St. Germain and it is the perfect addition to this cocktail. So go ahead, get fancy and enjoy this delicious Marg this weekend…or even better, on Monday.

Have a fabulously fun weekend!

Happy Friday!

Who’s ready for a drink?…

With Valentine’s Day being next weekend, I thought my next two drink recipes should follow that theme. I think I’ve come to realize that so many of my favorite drink recipes are ones that have some bubbles.

This recipe is simple and a tad different. Simply add everything but the Rosé to a cocktail shaker full of ice and shake, shake! Strain into two glasses and top with Rosé.

enjoy!

This is a great drink to make if you’re staying in for Valentine’s Day! We love to stay in for Vday but MK has something planned for this one. All I know is it will be our first totally kid free date night in a year!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Warm, Cozy, & Boozy

It’s been pretty chilly in my neck of the woods this week. So I thought it would be a perfect time to mix up a warm drink.

For a very long time I’ve wanted to make Milled Wine. I know I’ve been talking French lately but the first time I had this delicious drink was when we were strolling around Paris. It was cold as we landed in The City of Lights on The Day of Love. February is pretty cold there too. When we were offered hot wine, I’m not going to lie I was a little confused as I never heard of it let alone tried it.

The recipe is simple and so worth making on cold Winter days.

In a large saucepan, combine all ingredients and bring to a low simmer over low-medium heat. Simmer the mulled wine mixture for 15 minutes. Just don’t let the wine boil or else the alcohol will boil down too. Then remove from heat and ladle into mugs.

Enjoy your Friday!
