Supermom Spritz
I made this drink for my wife (definitely a Super Mom) for her last girl’s night/birthday celebration— the first of two signature drinks. It’s a tequila-based highball, sweet with a touch of spice (like someone I know…). Strawberry is the flavor that brings it all together as there are notes in the Aperol, Lillet, and of course, the shrub. Add in some vanilla/agave and bittersweet tonic to top it off… it’s a tasty number.
Smile & Blush
Some of you may have seen Green With Envy, a sad-faced drink I posted on Valentine’s Day. It seemed only right to balance the Mood of my page with a happier face. While this face isn’t an accurate depiction of mine (I go much lighter on the makeup😉), this drink was delicious and definitely made me smile.

One of my favorite things about gin (there are many) is just how diverse the category is, especially with the semi-recent revival of more localized gins showcasing the essence--nay, terroir-- of the area. The more gins I try, the more I appreciate their diversity, as well as the importance of pairing the best gin for the job at hand.
