Julep season is upon us! Although I would strongly argue that all year is technically julep season, it is undoubtably the time of year when everyone and their mother decides that they need to bust out the mint and mix up the famous southern sipper. Growing up in Kentucky, the Derby was the Cinderella’s Ball of…
Beverages
Raspberry Rye Old Fashioned
Oh, the old-fashioned. — I’m not talking about your grandpa that yells at everyone during holiday get-togethers. We’re going for what I consider to be the ultimate cocktail go-to. I can’t help but feel like there is this old-timey, almost Westworld-ish vibes that immediately pop into my mind when I see this on a bar…
Southern Bourbon Milk Punch
Hey, y’all! — It’s been a hot (but actually super cold) minute, hasn’t it? Let’s just have a come to Jesus moment here and talk about it. I took a bit of a break from the blog over the holidays, not just to shut down, but actually to work on some exciting new projects. Lots…
Asian Pear Mojito & Crispy Snacks (+ GIVEAWAY!)

I love trying to create a different cocktail for each get-together…
Gin Mint Julep
That’s right, y’all! It’s that time of year again. DERBY TIME! — You can’t be from Kentucky without completely shutting down for the entire week of the Derby. Spending all of your time with juleps and friends is mandatory. Last year, I shared 4 different takes on the Classic Mint Julep with varieties including Rose, Mango, and…
Raspberry Habanero Margarita
You may have noticed that I’ve been on this sweet and spicy kick lately. I used to be one of those anti-spicy people, but have slowly started enjoying it in the right situations. Pretty sure I have Nashville hot chicken to blame for that. When I was asked to toss in a margarita recipe for…
Mexican Hot Chocolate + Tequila Whipped Cream
