Memorial Day Cocktails at the Beach

My husband, whom I love (but frustrates the crap out of me sometimes), likes to take advantage of my Amazon Prime account.  I get emails for shit he's bought all the time I think is bizarre.  But this once, this once time, he bought a water bottle that KEEPS BEVERAGES COLD.  I love this bottle so much - it's perfect for our kids on a long day when the water in their sippy cups doesn't stay cold and their 4 year old selves cannot process the concept of why why why?!?!  It's...

What's the "right" type of ice for use in cocktails?

We have this debate all the time when we're testing out different flavors and wondering if our half moon ice (made straight from the ice maker in our freezer) is somehow tricking us and producing a different flavor than square ice or crushed ice would. What it really comes down to is what is the point of ice in the first place?  It's meant to dilute the cocktail (but slowly).  A cocktail is shaken or stirred to aid in speeding that process up so your first sip isn't straight alcohol...

Spring has Sprung

When I was little, my dad always used to say, "Spring is sprung. The grass is ris. I wonder where them flowers is..." It used to make me so happy.  It was such poor grammar from someone who always cared about that kind of thing and yet it spoke so perfectly to the way I felt.  It was warm(er) out.  It was technically spring (according to the calendar), but there weren't yet any flowers.  And the blooming flowers were by far my favorite part.  They still are.  Whenever I go...

Cocktails Can be Healthy!

I have to admit, I am always a bit skeptical when it comes to supplements and juicing or vegetabling (sp?), but it's hard to question when the people behind these products have flawless skin and to die for bodies (even after kids!).  I have to accept, therefore, that perhaps my steady diet or Fiesta Lime chips and cocktails may not be doing me any favors. BUT!  What if there was a way to continue to enjoy my cocktails AND have flawless skin and a kick ass bod?  We are a team...
