This Blueberry Coconut Sparkler is a sweet and boozy summer treat! It's an excellent option if you're serving a crowd at your next barbecue.

These Blackberry and Meyer Lemon Gin and Tonics were a unique take on a classic gin and tonic. They were sweet! And still as refreshing as a G&T should be.

This Citrus Cardamom Coffee Spritzer is a refreshing take on iced coffee. It was sweet with hints of lemon and cardamom, and the bubbles made it interesting.

This Cucumber Mint Martini was sweet, cool, refreshing, and easy to sip. And I could taste all the fruit and herbs, and they paired deliciously!

Do you know what? I'm still in the mood for lemon, even after that amazing Pappardelle al Limone I just made. Lemon is so...

The classic Prohibition-era Bees Knees gin cocktail has been updated with Meyer lemons and fresh thyme. It's less tart and smells wonderful!

This Vietnamese Lime Iced Tea recipe is a sweet and tangy alternative to your usual iced tea. Just a few ingredients and 20 minutes to summer refreshment!

So how was my Burnt Sage and Blackberry Sangria? It was everything! Some of the ingredients were a bit surprising, but they worked beautifully together.

Mojito, coconut, and blueberry? Yes! These coconut lime mojito shooters are a yummy combo--sweet & tart mojito with something extra.

I wasn't sure if I would like this sake mojito recipe, but this Japanese-Cuban fusion was crisp and refreshing. A wonderful hot summer day drink!

Masala Paal is subtly sweetened warm milk flavored with a mix of spices and nuts that makes a lovely cold weather or bedtime drink.

These grilled cherry milkshakes were like nothing I've ever tasted before. They were spectacular but also a lot of work, so plan at least a day ahead if you want to make the coconut milk/vegan version. Or you can substitute vanilla ice cream for instant gratification.

This cocktail is all about the elderflower liqueur--it adds a floral sweetness that's so unique and makes this version of the French 75 really memorable.

Now this is a Christmas cocktail! This spiced vanilla cocktail has all the spices I associate with the season, it's not too sweet & has a little boozy kick.

This cocktail is Autumn in a glass--it's like drinking apple pie with a hint of bourbon. It really lives up to the name Hot Apple Pie Bourbon Cocktail.

This brûlée caramel coffee is not too sweet, just the right amount of creamy, and has a toffee-like flavor from the caramel sauce. A nice caffeinated treat!

This pumpkin caramel milkshake has the pumpkin spice this season has made famous AND actual pumpkin. It's Fall dessert in a glass, whipped cream optional.

This apple cider bourbon cocktail all about Fall flavors of apple, cinnamon, and nutmeg. It's a little sweet, a little spicy, and a little tart. Yum!
