Spicy Salty Dog

Apr 27, 2020

Spicy Salty Dog – freshly squeezed grapefruit juice, vodka, and jalapenos! So refreshing and delicious, the perfect spicy cocktail recipe.

I love a spicy cocktail. If there’s a spicy cocktail on the menu, I’m ordering it. I don’t care what else is in it. If it involves a jalapeno or a serrano or a habanero, I’m trying it.

If you love spicy drinks as much as I do, you’re going to love this Spicy Salty Dog! It’s also a really pretty pink color thanks to the fresh grapefruit juice so it’s perfect for a girly brunch or shower.

I have a Spicy Cilantro Margarita that you may also enjoy.

Thank you VOVETI for sponsoring this post. Elevate your entertaining this season with VOVETI Prosecco

Okay, I know I swore that I’d never be obsessed with cheeseboards but it’s happened. I’m obsessed.

I used to never keep crackers and cheese and weird jams and all that on hand but now? What if we need a cheeseboard and some yummy drinks on a Sunday night to go with our 5th viewing of Home Alone 2?

I’ve made at least 3 already this month. They’re just the perfect easy dinner or so fun to throw together if you decide to have a last minute get together.

Peach Cherry Sangria

Jun 16, 2017

Peach Cherry Sangria – the perfect summer sangria! Peaches, cherries, and fresh basil in white wine and brandy. Mix up a big batch of this for all your summer pool parties!

Hey guys, happy Friday! How was your week? Are you also depressed that there was no Bachelorette this week?

Anyway, my mom came in yesterday!

Kicked that off by realizing that the Jeep had a flat tire minutes before I needed to leave for the airport to get her. Luckily the boyfriend was here and got it changed for me because otherwise?

I would’ve sat in my driveway and cried.

I haven’t seen my mom in almost a year – crazy, right? I mean, we talk pretty much every day of our lives but still.

Of course the boys started begging to go to the lake as soon as she stepped off the plane so we ended up spending a couple hours floating around.

Guys.

It’s hot in Texas.

Did you know it’s hot in Texas?

You did?

Oh, okay.

I guess this is news to no one.

Anyway, I’m really into showing up at at my friends’ houses with homemade boozy popsicles these days since it’s so hot and also because they’re so much more fun than showing up with cocktail supplies. And lucky for me, I’m usually just walking over to my neighbors’ house so popsicles are easily transported.

For these really easy Sangria Popsicles, I used Woodbridge by Robert Modavi Chardonnay. Woodbridge has been around for over 30 years and is one of my go-tos because I know I can trust their wines to be delicious and make any occasion more fun.

And what’s more fun than popsicles made from wine?!

Like I said, these are SO EASY. Cut up a bunch of fruit – I used strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, and kiwi, but use whatever you like. And then mix together the Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi Chardonnay and a little bit of lemonade. And then combine it all in popsicle molds. Freeze for 8 hours and then get ready for your friends to really love you when you show up at the block party with a tray of frozen wine.

They are so pretty – I just can’t get over all the bright colors! And seriously delicious!

Pineapple Rosemary Crush

May 19, 2016

Pineapple Rosemary Crush – easy cocktail recipe with pineapple, rosemary, and sparkling wine! Perfect for a party.

Today I’m heading up to Salt Lake City (OMGMOUNTAINS! I might just stay forever!) for a conference so I have to stick with my tradition of posting a cocktail on days when I fly.

I actually really enjoy flying but I’m also that person that has a minor panic attack with every bump. Which is why we talk cocktails on days that I fly. Because I’ll probably spend most of the flight wishing I had one.

The conference is going to be so much fun though. I’m rooming with my bestie Nicole and we coordinated our flights so that we land at the same time and can navigate SLC together. And there is going to be SO MUCH FOOD. I plan on gaining at least 10 pounds.

Ugggghhhh.

I hope you had a relaxing and/or exciting weekend and hopefully Monday won’t be too bad to you.

But just in case, I made us some Pineapple Blackberry Mojitos.

Picnic Punch

Sep 10, 2015

Happy Thursday!

I can’t believe it’s already September! But just because it’s after Labor Day doesn’t mean summer fun has to be over!

Guys, I have the easiest and tastiest cocktail for you today. Two ingredients. Two! All you need is ginger ale and Pinnacle® Raspberry vodka!

How much do you love the Pinnacle® flavored vodkas? They are the only vodka with over 40 playful flavors. We’re talking things like Whipped®, Habanero, and even Pecan and Pumpkin Pie. They offer premium quality at a price that won’t break the bank. And they are so delicious! I love that when you use the Pinnacle® flavored vodkas, you can just add one or 2 mixers and you have a yummy cocktail. Like this one!

I’m obsessed with raspberries every summer so obviously I went with a Raspberry vodka drink for this post. This easy cocktail is seriously just ginger ale (I used diet, because #bikiniseason all year long in Texas) and the vodka. It’s perfect for serving at a party or at a weekend picnic with friends – just mix the two ingredients together in a pitcher and serve over ice! Or with a fruit popsicle!

And most importantly when making a cocktail, you have to take a cute cocktail selfie for Instagram (or Twitter or Facebook or whatever you use)! Make sure to tag your #CocktailSelfie!
