🍸 MARTINI TIME 🍸 Been a little (lot) busy t 🍸 MARTINI TIME 🍸 Been a little (lot) busy this week, and I’ve found myself neglecting my feed and then feeling guilty about it. Can’t say I love that for myself. But, here’s one of my favorite martini pics I’ve taken. I think I’ll go visit this martini at @bowenhouse tonight and ignore the feelings.
👯‍♀️ AGREE/DISAGREE: TRAVEL IS POLARIZING 👯‍♀️ AGREE/DISAGREE: TRAVEL IS POLARIZING FOR RELATIONSHIPS 👯 Three years ago this week, I went on a trip with my now-best friend, @iamsarahmize. The trip was challenging at times (not kidding, we got into some s**t*), but it proved to cement an incredible friendship for which I am so grateful. I can’t imagine my world without my girl! I’ve noticed that travel is the “stress test” of a relationship … it can make or break your bond—friends, lovers, even family. So who have you gotten to travel with that has made your friendship more special? Tag ‘em here and give ‘em some love. 💕 *We slept with a knife beside the bed one night … DM me if you want to know the story. 😬
💭BREEZE CBD GUMMY GIVEAWAY 💭 Between work, 💭BREEZE CBD GUMMY GIVEAWAY 💭 Between work, looming travel, and trying to get my new home ready to move into, I’ve had a lot of balls in the air. Running around all day, I get a little frazzled … and then when I’m trying to slow my mind down at night when I’m finally done, I have trouble “shutting down”. Luckily my friends at @thebreezebrand sent me some of their CBD gummies to help me get a bit more focused with their BOOKWORM gummies, and then relaxed with their SHUT EYE gummies. I originally discovered them at @foxtrotmarket, and really loved the GOT HEALTH gummies. (I’m convinced that their bookworm gummies are the only reason I was able to get the wallpaper in my 1/2 bath done!) I haven’t tried the pens yet, but they have a couple options for y’all there, too! (Need-to-know details on the gummies below!) Needless to say, as a fan of their gummies, I was excited when they asked me to share the goods with y’all! 👉🏼👉🏼👉🏼 So, to enter to win THREE Breeze CBD items ($105 value) … 🖤 Like this post.⠀⠀⁣⠀⁣⠀⠀⁣⠀⁣ ➕ Make sure you're following me (@susiedrinks) and @thebreezebrand. 💬 Comment with the Breeze product you’d like to try. Comment as many times as you’d like—every comment is an entry —AND/OR— ＠ mention a buddy you’d share one of the products with! 🤳🏼 Share this in your stories for TEN extra entries. (Make sure to tag me so we know you shared it.)⠀⠀⁣⠀⁣⠀⠀⁣⠀⁣ 🏆 I’ll pick a winner Monday around noon. ———————— Breeze uses “premium, small-batch CBD” in their gummies at 10mg per gummy (30 gummies/jar). Each of the three effect-based gummies offers a blend of added supplements (below) to enhance your desired effect. 🤓 BOOKWORM: + Vitamin B12, fish oil, l-theanine. 😴 SHUT EYE: + melatonin, magnesium gluconate, l-tryptophan 😷 GOT HEALTH: + include: Vitamin C, zinc citrate #thebreezebrand #cbd #cbdgummies #dallasgiveaway #DALLAS #dallastx #breezebrand #dallasblogger #homeimprovement #homeimprovements #homeimprovementprojects #wallpaper #wallpaperdecor
🍹 SCOTCH IN A FRUITY COCKTAIL!? … HELL YES! 🍹 Move over, penicillin … we love you, but we’re getting a bit more creative with our scotch cocktail today! #highlandparkwhiskypartner To usher out the last day of summer a couple weeks ago, I settled down on my patio and enjoyed a truly bright summer cocktail featuring Highland Park 12 Year Old scotch whisky. They suggested a cocktail (below) that I was excited to try since I’m a huge fan of a scotch cocktail. Bringing the bold, rich, peaty (smoky) and fruity flavors of HP12YO together with bright citrus juices and a smooth honey syrup made for a great cocktail to say goodbye to summer with. Grab a bottle of Highland Park 12YO and shake one of these babies together soon … this “summery kind of fallish” Dallas weather is perfect for it! Island Shine 1.5 oz Highland Park 12 Year Old Scotch Whisky .5 oz honey syrup (2:1) .5 oz pineapple juice  .5 oz lime juice  Grapefruit soda Shake the first four ingredients together with ice, then strain over fresh ice and top with ice and grapefruit soda. Rim glass or garnish drink with black Hawaiian salt or sea salt. (Just make sure not to shake the soda … bubbles don’t like to be shaken!) Must be 21 years or older. Please drink responsibly. @highlandparkofficial #HighlandparkwhiskyTX #ad21+ #scotch #scotchwhisky #whisky #highlandparkwhisky #highlandparkscotch #scotchdrams #whiskey
🍾 What I was doing a year ago today vs what I’m doing today … 🖌🔨 While I ✨wish✨ I’d have had another champagne picnic in the park, things have been a little less exciting boozewise since I’ve been working like crazy to get my new home ready for guests (and myself 🥴). I finished wallpapering my accent wall in my 1/2 bath (last picture). Quite frankly, it was the worst project I’ve ever undertaken. My advice: if you want wallpaper, hire someone to do it!!!!!!!! Who thinks I should do another champagne picnic!? 🥂🍾
🍹 VENEZUELAN RUM TOOK OVER TEXAS! 🥃 I had t 🍹 VENEZUELAN RUM TOOK OVER TEXAS! 🥃 I had the chance to follow @diplomaticorum’s Master Distiller, Nelson Hernandez (aka “El Maestro”), around Texas on his 2021 Texas Tour, and I had a hell of a time! Not only is El Maestro wildly talented and knowledable, but he’s very kind and a joy to be around. The juice he and Diplomático put out is also absolutely extraordinary. Their Reserva Exclusiva is a blend of rums made with three different distillation processes—barbet column, pot still, and batch kettle. The result is a smooth, rich and complex rum. Needless to say, I’ll come running the next time they need me behind a camera or to drink some of their rum!
🚽🚿 TOMORROW’S MY BIG RENO REVEAL! 🛁🖌 🚽🚿 TOMORROW’S MY BIG RENO REVEAL! 🛁🖌 I closed on my home a month ago, and I have made some serious work of making it my own since. While I didn’t take on updating the *whole* townhouse (yet), I chose some projects to really make it my own. Paint, carpet, and a lot of new fixtures … oh, and a brand new to-the-studs master bathroom/closet renovation. I was lucky enough to have my friend @rosietheflipper step up to do my reno, and she and her team have been a dream. They’re going to let me see it tomorrow (I was peeking too much so they made me promise not to peek!), and I am so damn excited. The end of this project means I get to finally put everything else away and officially move it, and sadly enjoy less pizza and booze on the floor (which has become my new favorite thing). Many stories will be posted tomorrow. Buckle up. (Just glad it wasn’t today since the internet was broken. 🥴) 📸: @iamsarahmize
💀 DEATH IN THE AFTERNOON 💀 One of the cool t 💀 DEATH IN THE AFTERNOON 💀 One of the cool thing I had the chance to experience on my last trip to Key West was an absinthe tasting experience with @keywesttradingco. The owner of KWTC, Jim Martin, is a fifth generation moonshiner who decided to move to Key West and make the spirit (along with others like vodka and whiskey). Martin said, “This is a Hemingway town, so absinthe seemed necessary.” He sources all the ingredients from Florida for this 140-proof spirit that has been legal in the US since 2007. It’s the first full strength absinthe to be sold in the US, and he named it after Hemingway’s book, “Death in the Afternoon”. Martin brings the whole setup—absinthe, a la louche (the beautiful silver apparatus used to drip cold water over a sugar cube into the absinthe), traditional glassware and plates, and plenty of stories about absinthe, Hemingway, and Key West. And setting is absolutely perfect for it. This experience will be offered to Kimpton Key West guests at the Kimpton Lighthouse Hotel! Ask when you head down there, because this was quite a way to spend an afternoon. #kimpton #kimptonkeywest #kimptonkeywestlighthousehotel #absinthe #absintheexperience #lalouche #keywesttradingco #keywest #susiedrinkskeywest #susiedrinksflorida
DRAMS & DREAMS OF COOLER WEATHER 🥃 I broke in DRAMS & DREAMS OF COOLER WEATHER 🥃 I broke in my new patio this past week with some scotch … and it *was* great weather for it. (I thought we’d said goodbye to summer!!) Being a #highlandparkwhiskypartner, knew that they had the perfect 12 Year Old bottle to do it with! I love scotch in the cooler months, and Highland Park’s 12 Year Old was a delightful dram to start the season. The bottle itself isn’t the only thing beautifully crafted … the juice itself is a unique balance of a rich, fruity nose followed by floral peaty notes that you’d expect from a peated scotch. The harsh yet warm Orkney (northern Scottish islands) weather allows the casks to really impart a lot of flavor into the juice, giving it a wildly distinct profile.   Enjoy a dram of this gorgeous Highland Park 12 YO on your own patio to welcome fall, or track it down at a bar to give it a taste! Ringing in around $45 a bottle and wearing a few medals from tasting competitions, it’s a great scotch for the price! Must be 21 years or older. Please drink responsibly. @highlandparkofficial #HighlandparkwhiskyTX #ad21+ #scotch #scotchwhisky #whisky #highlandparkwhisky #highlandparkscotch #scotchdrams #whiskey
🦩 MET SOME MEXICAN FLAMINGOS IN THE YUCATÁN 🦩 … told ‘em hola. Looking to get away? I slipped away for a five day visit to the Yucatán Peninsula, the little peninsula north of Quintana Roo (yes, where Tulum is.) The food here is absolutely amazing and rich with tradition. The culture was wildly intriguing. The people were kind. And the adventures were legit. We met a few crocodiles and a bunch of flamingoes when we visited the biosfere reserve of Rio Lagartos and las Coloradas. And yes, the flamingos spoke Spanish. I’ll be posting more and writing a full travel guide to the region soon, but I felt we all needed some pictures of flamingos today. 📸 of me: @amberyv 📸 of the 🦩: mine 😜 @yucatanturismo #visityucatan #yucatanescolor #visitmexico #mexico #yucatan #yucatanpeninsula #🦩 #flamingo #presstrip #photography #travelphotography #travelpics #girlsborntotravel
🍹 GET SPRITZED ON TEQUILA 🍹⁣ ⁣ We all kn 🍹 GET SPRITZED ON TEQUILA 🍹⁣ ⁣ We all know about spritz season, which is coming to a close, but have you tried one with tequila?!⁣ ⁣ After showing y’all a tequila Negroni using Cantera Negra Tequila a few days ago, I wanted to show y’all another fun way to use tequila unexpectedly in a take on a classic cocktail. Usually a spritz is a low-ABV cocktail with Aperol, sparkling wine, and club soda, but today we’re going to make it a bit differently.⁣ ⁣ Start with Cantera Negra’s unaged, silver tequila (which is smooth enough to sip on its own, and I encourage you to try it that way first!), add a bit of orange juice over ice, then top with sparking wine and a float of Aperol.⁣ ⁣ This beauty is an easy sipper to say goodbye to spritz season! (And you can even take it into fall with a little dash of cinnamon on top.)⁣ ⁣ Go ahead and mix up your own! Head over to Drizly (link in bio) to order a bottle of Cantera Negra Tequila and drink along with me! You can also find other recipes and tasting notes on their page, @canteranegratequila!
☕️ NEWLY RENOVATED COFFEE SHOP IN DALLAS’S D ☕️ NEWLY RENOVATED COFFEE SHOP IN DALLAS’S DESIGN DISTRICT HAS 1/2 PRICE WINE ☕️ I ran by @ascensioncoffee’s recently reopened Design District location last week and it’s stun👏🏼ing👏🏼!

Not up for caffeine? Grab a bottle of wine for HALF PRICE Sundays to Thursdays, 3pm to close! 🍷🍷🍷😜 Pop by and check out the changes down in the Design District for a meal or to work from this cozy spot!! #DALLAS #dallasdesigndistrict #designdistrictdallas #ascensioncoffee #ascensioncoffeedallas #dallascoffee #dallascoffeeshop #dallaswine #dallasdrinks #dallasfoodie #dallasbrunch
