I’ve always found it amusing that there’s a day for just about everything. Today happens to be National Piña Colada Day, and coincidentally enough it’s a beautiful, warm day in Edmonton, perfect for this delicious blended summer drink! Curious about the origins of the Piña Colada, I did a bit of research and found out …
Lilacs are one of my favourite spring flowers. They have the most incredible scent and make such a beautiful, full bouquet. I’m lucky my mom has two trees in her yard that I get to raid as much as I want! Unknown to a lot of people is the fact that lilac blossoms are actually …
How’s everyone doing? Hope you’re staying home and staying safe ❤️. This social distancing stuff is weird; it’s so opposite of my general nature, I thrive on being busy and social. I’m not going to lie, this isn’t easy, but I know it’s necessary and so we’ve stayed home for the last three weeks or …
It probably shows my age that all I can think to write right now is “my milkshake brings all the boys to the yard, and they’re like, it’s better than yours, damn right, it’s better than yours.” I’ve got to say though, the addition of booze to a mint chocolate chip milkshake probably does make …
If I think Spring thoughts, and drink Spring drinks, will that magically make Spring appear in Edmonton? Probably not, but this cocktail is so good I don’t even care that it snowed this weekend…again. I’ve been wanting to make a honey-based cocktail for awhile now, so I was excited to partner up with the Edmonton …
While the practical side of me knows that we’ve got another month or two of winter left, the optimist in me sees a couple days of above zero temperatures and a bit of melting snow and breaks out the jean jacket and spring drinks. We’re in a bit of a warm spell here in Edmonton, …
There are so many ways to say I love you on Valentine’s Day. My favourite would have to be through good food and good drinks. Food and booze are my love language haha. So, with that in mind there was no way Holly (@chandeliers.and.champagne) and I could let a holiday like Valentine’s Day go by …
Hallelujah you guys, I’m emerging from hibernation after a crazy long cold snap here in Edmonton. The past two weeks have been so cold. I’m talking windchills of -50C cold. I basically stocked up on food and wine and hung out at home for a week, which means I’m now stir crazy and my kids …
There’s less than a week till Christmas now, and if you’re anything like me, your to do list is about as long as Santa’s delivery list. One thing I’m in charge of this year is the Christmas cocktail, and I think we’ve got a winner! This Pomegranate Moscow Mule is as delicious as it is …
Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldrons bubble. While I’m no sorceress, I would like to consider myself an amateur mixologist. Mixing up cocktails and experimenting with flavours is so much fun. Sometimes it works out great, other times not so much (let’s just say Holly and I will never be adding cognac …
