Boozy Watermelon Mint Lemonade. This super satisfying, refreshing cocktail is perfect for parties and cookouts. The combination of fresh watermelon, cucumber, lemon juice, and mint (with a little rum, of course) makes for a drink that screams summertime! I’m going to let you in on a little secret: even if you’re the manliest of manly,…
Ruby Red Champagne Punch
It’s Monday! Usually that’s not an exciting revelation for me, but today happens to be a little different– I just came back to the office from a nice, relaxing weekend and we’re closed for the holiday tomorrow and Wednesday. It’s what dreams are made of, really. So, for the first time I can remember, I think…
Pomegranate Mojito
Am I the only one who is completely blown away by how close to Christmas it is? Where did the time go? What have I been doing for the past month? I feel like Anchorman 2 has gotten more attention than the holidays this year, or maybe I just have selective hearing. Either way, I’m…
Cranberry White Wine Punch
I am a heavy proponent of two things at family gatherings: 1) Serving yourself, because the potatoes won’t seem to cook, there are kids running around everywhere, Aunt Terry is discussing conspiracy theories, the potatoes still aren’t done, you can’t remember your third cousin’s name and you don’t know how much longer you can…
Captain Morgan Citrus Punch
The past few weeks have been a toss up between beautiful and summer-like with beating sun and a fortunate cool breeze, and dreary, with a drizzle that was just on-and-off enough to shatter any hopes of outdoor activity. Of course, whenever I was feeling especially in the mood for a picnic or barbecue, I would…
Captain’s Passion Punch
I originally had planned to start this off with a mention of the sudden shift we’ve had from freezing cold to sunny and 80-someodd degrees. We seem to have skipped spring all-together, I would have said, and bounded into the days of BBQs and backyard events. At least that’s how it seemed last week when…
St. Patrick’s Day Punch
Over the years, I have formed several St. Patrick’s Day traditions. Some involve food, others involve places to go, and absolutely none of them involve green beer (I’ll have a Guinness instead, please!) However, that’s not to say I don’t sip a little green libation when the 17th of March nears. I love bringing this…
Holiday Rum Punch
(Day 8 of the 12 Days of Christmas) I know how it is this time of year; one minute you’re throwing around the idea of hosting a holiday party, and the next minute someone’s ringing the doorbell. And then another. And then another. Suddenly, there are 50 people in your house and you only…
