Wow, its been a while since my last blog post! I have been super busy with work and I was in Portugal travelling last week, it was so beautiful. If any of you are interested in me doing a blog post about my trip, please leave me a comment below?! I was asked last month to make a recipe for wayfair.com  with maple syrup in it and I decided to do a whiskey sour. They are so good, just the right amount of sweet and sour. I thought I would share the recipe here on my blog in case you missed it on my Facebook page. Enjoy!

It’s holiday time!! 🙂 Which means you may be having a cocktail or 2….! I usually just stick to wine but I do enjoy a cocktail from time to time. This pomegranate and elderberry sparkling drink is just delicious, so refreshing. I served it to my girlfriend the other night and we both loved it. When I serve drinks, I like to serve snacks too. I am loving these cassava chips from Pura Vida. Cassava is a nutty flavored, starchy tuber of South American origin. Sweet and crunchy, it has been a popular edible root for centuries among many ancient cultures of the world. It’s a great alternative to potato chips and its healthier too. What is your favourite holiday drink or cocktail?!!

Hellooooo Weekend. 🙂 Such a gorgeous day today! We went to the park this morning and then to the pool for swim this afternoon. This may be the best weather in May ever……. I thought since it’s the weekend and its definitely patio season I would share another fruity cocktail recipe. This might be my last fruity recipe for a while. I just downloaded my kindle edition of the famous book I Quite Sugar.  Me and my friend an fellow blogger Karen plan to start the 8 week program to get rid of sugar from our diets…….should be an interesting challenge. 😉 Until I start my sugar purge June 1, I plan to get my fill on fruity cocktails and sweet fruit. Happy Weekend. 😉

Happy Friday! 🙂 What a busy week I’ve had, TGIF.  I have some exciting projects in the works……stay tuned. 😉 This easy and refreshing cocktail is perfect for these warmer spring nights. I can’t say that I have ever used cucumbers in an alcoholic drink before, so refreshing. The mint is also a very nice addition to this drink. I sat outside on my patio yesterday and read in the sun, it was lovely. Summer is just around the corner….I can feel it. 😉 Do you have a favourite drink combination? I would love for you to share it with me, please comment below! Have a wonderful weekend.

What a beautiful Saturday morning it is here is Vancouver. Spring is coming………YAY! 😉 I think I will go for my first run of the year today. I usually work out in a gym or hot yoga studio but there is something to be said for just going outdoors and exercising in nature. We need to get natural sources of vitamin D as often as possible!

I must admit that I have never in my 3o plus years been a bourbon drinker…..until my boyfriend brought this smoked maple bourbon home in January. It’s soooo good. 🙂 I saw a drink with bourbon and oranges on Pinterest and knew that I just had to try one. The organic blood oranges I bought photographed so beautifully with their amazing colours. Last night me and my man had a couple of these cocktails before dinner and they are perfect for drink for him and her. They are not too sweet and not to stiff………The perfect match, manly bourbon mixed with maple and orange to make it a little sweeter. 😉 Try these for your next night in, you wont regret it.
