It took me ten months to post a new recipe this year, and it’s an alcoholic one. What does that say about me?
Actually, this is my first alcoholic recipe that I have posted, and I have been dying to post it for a while now. Having my medical setbacks has resulted in a serious lack of new content on the blog this year (see my VLOG for reference), but my husband and I have recently moved into a new house with a large kitchen and I have a few new recipes coming your way!

This recipe is for 2 servings, which is all I can fit into my cocktail shaker at a time. I like making these fresh for people. But you can increase the recipe if

If you want to increase this recipe and make a pitcher to serve or take to a gathering, I would suggest to leave the alcohol out of the mixture until you are ready to serve it. Then stir the alcohol in prior to serving. 🙂
