I may not be in Mexico on the beach anymore, but I think my mind still is ...

🇲🇽✈️ Mexico for Margarita Day? ¡Sí, por favor! ✈️🇲🇽

My friend and I decided a few days at a resort would do us some good ... soaking up Vitamin D, eating ceviche, drinking daiquiris, and all that. So, we headed to Tulum for the week, and the week just so happened to start with National Margarita Day. The obvious #30000ftcocktails for the flight had to be a margarita!

Since Southwest still isn’t serving booze (AND OPENING YOUR OWN IS STILL ILLEGAL), I made a mocktail version, then for show I stuck an unopened mini bottle in.

So, happy margarita week, and I’ll see some of y’all at my cocktail class spon by @cheapcaribbean tomorrow! (BTW, thanks for the support ... the class filled up super fast!!!!)

SOMETIMES YOU JUST NEED TO LOOK AT A SEXY PICTURE

SOMETIMES YOU JUST NEED TO LOOK AT A SEXY PICTURE OF A COCKTAIL AND CHILL OUT.⁣
What do you do to calm yourself down when you’re spinning? 🌪 Editing pictures I've taken for clients is, oddly, a way I relieve stress.⁣
⁣
And yes, I’m stressed today. While it’s finally for a good reason, stress is stress. After this week of trying to cover my overload of client work because of the weather (🥶) while chasing electricity, WiFi, and safe, running water has taken a lot out of me.⁣
⁣
I’m leaving town Monday for a great trip (something fun for Y’ALL is coming out of this trip … watch for the announcement Monday!) followed by another trip, and I’m usually a little more excited and settled before heading out of town than I am today. Suffice it to say that I’ll be putting in some late nights to be ready to fly Monday.⁣
⁣
But, a friend reminded me yesterday that we all have tough times, and it’s nothing to be ashamed of. So … there it is.⁣
⁣
So check out this sexy picture of a cocktail from my client, @bowenhousedallas, from their new menu.⁣

❄️ DRINK LIKE A SWEDE ❄️ Today was another

❄️ DRINK LIKE A SWEDE ❄️
Today was another COLD day in Dallas, and y’all asked for both a hot cocktail AND one topped with snow … so, here’s the latter.

I figured that, if I was topping a drink with snow, that I should take some cues from the people who really know how to be cold—Scandinavians. I had some lingonberry syrup (from Ikea, naturally) and aquavit (thanks, @theaaronhendrickson!), added some citrus and bitters, and it made for a PERFECT cocktail.

SCANDANAVIAN SPRITZ
2 oz aquavit (vodka can be substituted)
.75 oz lingonberry syrup (cranberry can be substituted)
.5 oz fresh lemon juice
5 dashes orange bitters
Top with soda water

Stir together all ingredients except soda water and top with ice. Top with soda water. Garnish with a lemon wheel and whole cranberries.

Give a hand to my awesome mom who helped me video this in the park today!

🛷🍷 WENT “SLEDDING” TODAY AND TOOK SOME MULLED WINE ALONG 🍷🛷

Dallas is still pretty locked down thanks to the unpredictable weather (and snow-covered ice on the roads). So, to get out and stretch our legs between work emails from the couch, my neighbors and I grabbed some pool floats and mulled wine and went “sledding”!

I LOVE mulled wine, and it’s such an easy drink to batch out and share. (And I keep adding wine to the recipe below so the batch doesn’t need to end.)

🍷 MULLED WINE + BRANDY 🍷
2 bottles of dry red wine
1 cup brandy (I used apple brandy)
2 oranges
1 large apple, cored and sliced
1 lemon
4 cinnamon sticks
4 star anise
a dozen whole cloves
6-8 whole black peppercorns
.5 cup sugar
2 T honey

Prepare a dutch oven or crock pot and clean all fruit. Use a peeler to peel off the orange rind and add to pot, then zest half the lemon rind into the pot and add apples. Add 1 bottle of wine and juice of the oranges to the pot and turn heat on high, then bring to a boil. Once boiling, lower heat and allow to simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes.

Add sugar, honey, and spices (I use a tea ball for the spices) and stir well. Add second bottle of wine and allow to simmer for at least 20 minutes, or as long as you’d like. (The longer, the better … more flavor!) Add the brandy just before serving. Garnish with grated nutmeg, fruit slices, or cinnamon sticks.

❄️☃️ DALLAS FEELS THIS COLD TODAY … and it makes me want a whiskey hot chocolate real bad. ☃️❄️

Are you a ski sipper? 🥃

I’ve been reviewing my pictures from my ski trip to @sunvalley, and it hit me that the temperature in Dallas this week will about the same as the same as what we were skiing in there!

I got to ski in my new @oldforester sweater last week and got some snaps while we were up eating at a fancy sit-down, white tablecloth restaurant on the mountain, The Roundhouse. (10/10 would recommend.) Yes, I was drinking a whiskey hot chocolate, because that’s what you do when you ski.

Thanks for braving the cold (and the gondola) to help me get these shots, Sar!
And thanks for the badass sweater, @tristlea / @oldforester!

😍🍸 I’ve found heaven ... and it sells antique barware. 😍🍸

I went to visit my aunt and uncle in Fort Myers this week, and they were so excited to show me a shop they found. The shop, Board & Bar, sells barware, glassware, bars, and more ... most of it vintage, and some antique! Think mid-century modern bars to sterling silver cocktail collapsible shakers.

The owner, Melinda, was very kind and let me get some pictures of a martini setup while we were there. (And then let me drink it. 😈)

I walked out with two sets of brass cups, a couple bottle tags, and a few other little goodies. (And I’ll be back anytime I visit the aunt and uncle, because I saw a ton more fun items I want for my bar once I move!)

Thanks to my aunt for her great photo help!
