A Quick 🍸 Break Before More Holidays


A Quick 🍸 Break Before More Holidays

Hi Reader!

It's officially November, which means Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away. But I'm not ready to start figuring out Turkey Day just yet. So I'm not going to immediately start sending you Thanksgiving planning emails. I need a break, and a drink.

This week's new recipe is a Pear Martini. It uses a largely forgotten and overlooked fall flavor - pear. With apple and pumpkin doing battle to be the autumn fruit favorite, pear's subtle flavor often gets lost. But pears are also in season right now and the ones I'm getting from my local stores are really delicious.

New Recipe

Pear Martini

This easy Pear Martini is light, refreshing, and perfectly balanced pairing layers of pear with fresh lemon and vodka. It’s the kind of drink that feels elegant without any effort - ideal for fall entertaining, weekend brunch, or a cozy night in.

Bourbon Sips for the Weekend's Races Hi Reader! TBH I do not care about horse racing. But come this weekend I'll tune in to both the Oaks on Friday and the Derby on Saturday with a bourbon cocktail in hand and cheer like I know exactly what I'm watching. I'll pick a random horse, do no research, and cheer my heart out. I have no idea when this started, but now it's become my own annual tradition. It's also when I started sipping mint juleps. Julep cocktails are a southern staple you don't see...

A glass of glittery Unicorn Lemonade.

Happy National Unicorn Day! Hi Reader! OK, technically National Unicorn Day is Thursday (April 9).
