Happy New Year, y’all! *fireworks, drinks, cheers, etc.* Now that we’ve got that out of the way, I’m sharing a total kitchen experiment turned amazingness with you.

Bitter Bit Beautiful Grapefruit Cocktail
This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of IZZE. All opinions are 100% mine. I made a discovery this summer. It’s pretty much one of the best discoveries that I’ve ever made. Since I’m an adult now, and adults have these things called jobs; Jobs can sometimes leave you a tiiiiny bit…

Julep Week: Meyer Lemon Julep
After having a little bit of a spicy sip for Cinco de Derby yesterday with our Mango Jalapeño Julep, I thought it would be good to take thing a bit over to the tart side of life. We’re taking beautifully sweet and citrus Meyer lemons, and squeezing them into a delightfully fresh julep for Kentucky Oaks…
Julep Week: Mango Jalapeño Julep
Julep Week continues here on Southern Fatty with a tribute to Cinco de Mayo. Cinco de Derby, y’all! Jalapeño-infused simple syrup replaces the traditional bar spoon of sugar for this spicy and sweet twist.
