Spooky Sangria

The thing I love about sangria is that you can be reasonably creative with it — this spooky riff on a red wine sangria comes together super easily (the hardest part is waiting for the ingredients to mingle in the fridge for a few hours).

Blackberry Limoncello Spritz

What I love about a spritz is that you can be relatively experimental with the ingredients that you use — spritz are a part of the apéritifs family, which were designed to be served before a meal to stimulate the appetite. They're typically lightly alcoholic and more dry than sweet.

Daiquiri of Dreams

No better way to celebrate National Rum Day than with this riff on the classic Banana Daiquiri! The addition of pineapple juice and orgeat allows it to lean more towards tiki-style, and it’s one of those cocktails you’ll want to make before the summer’s over.

Prickly Pear Bourbon Smash

The beautiful thing about making a smash-style cocktail is that you can be really experimental with the fruit, herbs, and base spirit you choose to use. The addition of Amaro Montenegro really paired well with the sweet notes of the prickly pear, but this would also be really lovely with gin, or even tequila ;)

Peach Gin Mojito

A mojito is one of the easiest cocktails to riff on! With the addition of fresh fruit, or changing up the base spirit, you’ve elevated this classic cocktail into something totally new and totally YOURS. You know I’m always looking for an excuse to watch the magic of Empress Gin happen.

Agua Fresca

Agua Fresca is such an easy weekday mock-tail, especially when you stumble across a really delicious watermelon, cantaloupe, or even cucumbers or strawberries! It’s a classic Mexican drink made by blending fruits and lime, sugar, and water (and feel free to spike it if that’s your vibe!).

Taki Margarita

This process was super interesting, and I was actually extremely impressed with the final product! It had a great amount of spice and a hint of corn which I’m surprised came through. Overall, I actually recommend making this is you’re a fan of Takis. It’s delicious!
