Tequila Sunrise Cocktail
This tequila sunrise recipe is sweet and smooth, requires only three ingredients, and has the gorgeous color gradient of a summer sunrise! It’s not often that I order a fruity drink at a bar. My default is a French 75 cocktail, and aside from that I look for a dry Riesling. Or if I’m at a…

French 75 Cocktail
A classic bubbly gin and champagne cocktail with a fresh lemon zing!

Instead…

Thankfully, people these days are…

Raspberry Rosé Sangria
A perfectly fruity raspberry sangria that’s easy to whip up for a party or to sip on the porch on a summer afternoon. All I needed was one day above 70° to send me straight into summer recipe development mode. The moment I put shorts on to go for a walk, I started brainstorming all…
