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…

12 Must Try Champagne Recipes for New Year’s Eve
Fun fact: The earliest known New Year celebrations were in Mesopotamia and date back to 2000 BC.

Thankfully, people these days are…

Blackberry mint juleps are a fun and colorful spin on the classic mint julep – a touch of lime and homemade blackberry syrup gives it a fruity kick!

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…

Watermelon margaritas are fruity, slightly sweet margaritas that can easily be made on the rocks or frozen! Hi, everyone! I wasn’t planning to be gone that long, but you know what? I needed it.
