Apple Cider Sangria10/3/2018 On Sunday my family and I attended the Busti Apple Festival in Busti, NY! A yearly tradition for us! While at the Busti Apple Festival, we picked up apples & cider! That evening I decided to whip up some of my famous Apple Cider Sangria & make an Apple Pie! Curious on how to make that cider? Of course you are! That’s why you’re here. Keep on scrolling to find out how you can make a pitcher of this yumminess in your very own home :) INGREDIENTS• 1.5 Liter Bottlr Moscato • 4 Mini Bottles Carmel Vodka • 2 Red Apples • 1 Green Apple • Handful of Grapes • Half Lemon • Apple Cider Pour the bottle of Moscato into a large pitcher. This is a fabulous recipe to use that random bottle laying around you received for a gift since quality does not matter! Squeeze that half Lemon into the pitcher. Then toss the squeezed lemon into the pitcher. Chop up your green & red apples. Then toss your apples & grapes into the pitcher. Now mix in your caramel vodka and top off with cider. The caramel vodka has a very strong caramel taste. I suggest using 4 since you do want to taste the cider! Too much vodka and this will turn into Carmel sangria ;-) After your Apple Cider Sangria is all mixed together, toss it into the refrigerator for an hour or so. You want the fruit flavors to soak a bit before serving. Serve & Enjoy!

Wine Cork Dot Paint Pumpkins9/13/2018 Any mamas out there need an excuse to go out and buy a bottle or two of wine?! I may just have you covered! Wine Cork Dot Paint Pumpkins! That’s right, you drink the contents of that wine bottle while your child dots away with the corks. It’s a win win activity since Mama is occupied and so is the kiddo! Cheers & happy dotting! SUPPLIES• White Paper Plates • Green Pipe Cleaners • Hole Punch • Orange Paint • Wine Corks Before you let your child dot away, take your hole punch and punch a hole at the top of the white paper plate. This is where you will string your pipe cleaner to make a stem later. Let your child dot away using the orange paint & the wine cork! Once your white paper Plate is covered in paint dots, take 2-3 pipe cleaners and wrap them around your finger to make a spiral. Take your pipe cleaner spiral and simply thread it into the hole you punched in your white paper plate. Twist the stem in place. And just like that, you now have a Paper Plate Pumpkin!

Jack & Coke Popsicles5/1/2018 I don't know about you, but these fabulously warm Spring days are getting me really antsy for summer!!! I just can’t stop day dreaming about sipping my favorite cocktails poolside. Recently, I discovered that you can actually make Jack and Coke popsicles. That’s right!!!! One of the best cocktails ever in Popsicle form! Now, these aren't like that time Jack Daniel's made beef jerky, these popsicles actually have booze in them! Enjoy!! SuppliesJack Daniels Coca-Cola Popsicle Mold
2. Grab your can of Coke and top each section of the mold off. 3. It’s now time to take those popsicle sticks and place them back into the mold. 4. Once you have your mold back together, place your Jack & Coke popsicles in the freezer for several hours. 5. Once your Jack & Coke Popsicles are frozen solid. Rinse your mold off with a little bit of hot water. This will loosen the popsicles just enough to slide right out of the mold without breaking.

Watermelon Mimosas4/30/2018 Can you believe it?!?! Summer is right around the corner! You know what that means right!?! It’s fruity adult beverage season!!!! WooHoo!!! One of my all-time favorite drinks is a mimosa. I know, not that original of me! But you know what? You can totally take that classic mimosa and make it taste like summer with watermelon juice. Just swap that OJ for some watermelon and wa-la!!!! You now have a champagne beverage worthy of sitting poolside with you all summer! Cheers! • Champagne • Watermelon Juice ( Tropicana Tastes like candy. Pressed Watermelon Juice tastes like real watermelon!) •Watermelon Slice Take your bottle of champagne and fill your glass 3 quarters of the way full. Next, you will want to top of your Champagne glass with watermelon juice. I always recommend Tropicana Watermelon Juice since it’s the most fruity. If you aren’t into sweet juices, you can always opt for a pressed watermelon juice. The pressed juice will be more natural tasting. Slice up that watermelon for your Champagne glass garnish. Serve & Enjoy!

Summer is right around the corner folks!!!! Nothing better than sipping on a delicious cocktail poolside. One of my all time favorite liquors is Parrot Bay!! I even had a bottle of Parrot Bay sitting at my Mimosa Bar in the bridal suite at my wedding.
My all time mixer for Parrot Bay happens to be pineapple juice. The combination makes you feel like you’re on a tropical island vacation!! Just because you can’t afford that trip to Fiji this year doesn’t mean you can’t pretend while floating on your Unicorn float at the pool. Cheers!!!
Ingredients
•Parrot Bay
• Pineapple Juice
Take a normal sized shot glass. Fill the shot glass with Parrot Bay and pour that shot into your martini shaker. No shaker? No problem! Just pour that shot into a large glass. You can use a spoon to mix the cocktail by hand later.
Next, that that pineapple juice and fill your martini shaker.
Once you have your shot of Parrot Bay and your pineapple poured into your martini shaker, close up your shaker and shake away!!!!
One your drink is nice and shaken, grab a martini glass and pour your cocktail!
And just like that, you now have the most tropical drink ready to be sipped on. Now grab that unicorn float and head to the pool with your delicious cocktail. Time pretend you’re on that tropical vacation you have been dreaming of!!! Cheers!
