It’s Brittany Bitch Sangria
Sangria is my favorite fruit! It’s basically a fruit salad right?! For my girl Brittany’s birthday this week, I created a fall sangria recipe with apple cider, cinnamon and a little something extra.

Tequila-Watermelon Refresco
It wouldn’t be summer without watermelon and this has definitely been the year of all the things watermelon! I have become addicted to the Simply Watermelon Juice, especially in my cocktails. This recipe is light, refreshing, and makes a great mocktail. What You’ll Need: Watermelon Juice Basil Lime Juice/Lime Lemon Lime Seltzer Tequila Ice Pint Glass Place a few basil leaves in the bottom of the pint glass and fill with ice. Sprinkle the remainder of the basil leaves on top of the ice. Basil measurement to taste, I personally love the herb! Pour 3 ounces of tequila (any kind! I used blanco), 1 ounce lime juice (I used half…

Citrus Popper
I love all things spicy. Give me a menu that mentions something spicy, Sriracha, Jalapeno or Cayenne, I will have a hard time turning it down! But I have found that most of these spicy drinks and the jalapeno infused liquors that are used are not enjoyable to drink; there is almost too much heat to them. So you could say, I was not a fan of spicy tequila. . .that is until I tried Xo Chitl ‘s house spicy margarita a few years ago. This margarita drink is actually not on their current menu, but if you are from Philly, trust me, go and ask for it! I have…

Blue Mountain
There is nothing more refreshing than a cold glass of lemonade on a summer day. Sitting in the middle of the woods watching the sun melt into the blue of the mountain tops is a breathtaking sight. I thought I would create a cocktail with the combination of these two happy memories. Enjoy a refreshing trip to Blue Mountain! What You’ll Need: Lemon Seltzer Lemonade Blue Curacao Vodka Cocktail Shaker Ice Pint Glass Fill a cocktail shaker with ice; mix in vodka and lemonade to your desired strength. I use (Uncle) Tito’s Vodka and Simply Lemonade (the blue curacao is very sweet so I recommend using a low sugar lemonade).…

Birthday Cake Martini
I would apologize for the explosion of sprinkles this week but what better way to say happy birthday! It was my husband and a few good girlfriends birthday this week, so I will drink all the cake flavored, sprinkle rimmed martinis! Our family loves to celebrate special occasions with good food, lots of cake and drinks, so naturally a drinkable cupcake is the perfect dessert to end a birthday. I have tried birthday cake martinis at upscale restaurants before, but they always consist of heavy cream or half and half. I have a milk allergy and unfortunately have not ever been able to enjoy these fun cocktails. The only solution…

Blueberry Margarita
I am from a household that loves their tequila! But the issue I have with most margarita drink recipes is they are super sweet, and I am more of a simple and sour drink girl. One of the best ways to avoid the tooth achingly sweetness is to make a margarita with fresh ingredients. This blueberry margarita will seriously blue you away! What You’ll Need. Carton of Fresh Blueberries Limes Triple Sec (or any orange liqueur) Simple Syrup or Agave Sugar or Salt Tequila Cocktail Shaker Ice Rocks Glass It is best to use fresh blueberries for this recipe. I use one full carton of blueberries and pour it into…
