This three ingredient cranberry bourbon cocktail is fizzy, refreshing, and perfect for the holidays! The holidays--and my due date--are just around the corner. I'm so exciting to meet this mystery baby who, evidently, loves tomatoes and pizza (my two biggest cravings), is a morning person (baby ...
Strawberry Rose Wine Mojito
This fizzy, fruity mojito is made with muddled strawberries and rosé wine. With only six simple ingredients, it's the perfect warm weather cocktail! Have you heard of brogurt? It's yogurt...for men! I think it's hilarious for so many reasons, but mostly because the "manly" packaging ...
Grapefruit Cucumber Paloma
What's a girl got to do to get a drink on Easter Sunday? As I've mentioned before, Alex is Jewish and I'm half-Jewish. Easter is obviously not a big deal for Alex's family, and it was never a big deal for me growing up, either. This year I dyed some eggs with Owen and we gave him a little ...
Five Ingredient Spiced Pear Bellini
In my whole life, I've lived alone for exactly one month. I was 25 and had just quit my job and moved from Manhattan to Brooklyn, leaving behind my tight-knit group of girlfriends to strike out on my own in a new borough. I moved in with a girl I barely knew; I met her through Craigslist when she ...
Fresh Tomato Bloody Mary
Last week I drank an entire pitcher of bloody marys.* Seriously, I don't mean to toot my own horn, but this recipe is one of my best yet. I've never been a Mrs. T's mix person (except when I'm on an airplane), but when I've made bloody marys in the past, I've always used bottled tomato juice. I ...
Limoncello Sangria
This is my 100th blog post! I almost didn't notice, but last week I was doing some updates and realized that I was at 97. So of course, I had to plan something celebratory for today. But before we get to this week's drink, how about some fun links from around the web to help kick ...
Strawberry Lime Jalapeño Shandies
Years ago, when I was just out of college and a newly minted New Yorker, I went home to Foxboro for the holidays. There was a Blockbuster (remember brick-and-mortar video stores?!) nearby, where my brother once worked, and where we rented all our movies. When you're 23, and live with a bunch of ...
Improved Maple Leaf Cocktail
I can't believe it's been almost five years since I wrote my first cookbook! I'm so proud of it, but sometimes I wish I could go back and tweak some of the recipes. One of the things I've quickly come to love about blogging is how alive this site feels. It's always growing and changing, and nothing ...
