As you may or may not know, I’m not a huge drinker (I just love playing hostess!), and since I’m pregnant that means I haven’t had one sip of alcohol since the end of May (yep, celebrated my #dirty30 completely sober… while on vacation. Mostly I just napped a lot.). But that doesn’t mean that I […]
Cocktail Hour
Cocktail Hour | Rio Edition
It’s Friday, which means one thing here at The Blogtini – Cocktail Hour! During the last Olympics my husband and I hosted a “Beer Olympics” during the Opening Ceremony that ended up just being a group of people sitting around drinking and heckling the TV. This time around we’ve decided to be a little bit […]
Cocktail Hour | Birthday Prosecco Cocktail
I can’t believe what I’m about to type – tomorrow, June 4, is my 29th birthday. TWENTY-NINE! There is honestly a part of me that still thinks I’m 22 (and I absolutely still feel 22… until I try to do something a 22 year old would do), so the fact that I am about to […]
Cocktail Hour | Valentine’s Day Edition
Guyssss it’s Valentine’s Day on Sunday. For some folks that means cozying up with BAE and a bottle of wine, while for others it’s downing shots at the bar to wash away your sorrows or celebrate your singledom. This year Valentine’s Day falls on a Sunday, which would normally be a bit of a buzzkill, […]
Cocktail Hour | Applejack Sazerac
If you live on the East Coast there’s a pretty good chance that you’re prepping to be snowed in this weekend – or hoping you’ll be snowed in. (What, just me?) With that in mind, this week’s Cocktail Hour recipe is all about a cozy drink that’ll keep you pleasantly buzzed. After all, being snowed […]
Cocktail Hour | The North Pole
It’s nearly time for Christmas, and although my husband and I are still without a Christmas Tree (#grinchy) that doesn’t mean I’m not in the Christmas spirit. That said, this week’s Cocktail Hour recipe is chocolate-y, peppermint-y, and downright delicious-y. The North Pole Cocktail Ingredients. 1 1/2 oz. Grey Goose Cherry Noir Flavored Vodka 1/2 oz. […]
Cocktail Hour | Sparkling Apple and Cranberry Cocktail
This is another cocktail that I’m revising a bit, folks. Because creativity! And also, I don’t love pear, which this recipe originally called for. With fall just around the corner (you can’t deny it any more – right now the temperature in Massachusetts is hovering in the low 70’s and it’s glorious!) this cocktail is […]
Cocktail Hour | Remixed French 75
You guys… this week has been a week. Some weird things have happened and it’s been… just weird. I very rarely find myself getting home at night and heading straight for the wine bottle, but that’s exactly what I did last night. In honor of that, I bring to you this week’s cocktail – The French […]
Cocktail Hour | Cranberry Vodka Spritzer
This summer has been our very first Summer of Weddings. You know, that thing that happens to everyone where suddenly all of their friends and relatives are of marrying age and they all decide to get married at the same freaking time. Including our wedding in March (because why wouldn’t I include the highlight of […]
Cocktail Hour | Watermelon Splash
It’s Friday which means… it’s Cocktail Hour! You guys, my absolute favorite holiday – Independence Day – is right around the corner! While I’m not much of a party-girl for the majority of the year, the Fourth of July is one of the times when I really let my hair down and enjoy myself – […]
