Festive Drink Recipes

December 27, 2019

If you’ve been following me for any amount of time, you know I love a good glass of wine or a killer cocktail. A few years ago, Trish and I mastered the Spicy Paloma Cocktail (you can check it out here) and with New Years Eve right around the corner, I wanted to give you a few more of my all-time favorite drink recipes.

Fruity Champagne

Champagne is a classic for New Years Eve, but I like giving mine a little twist.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup of fresh blueberries
  • 1 cup of fresh blackberries
  • 1 cup of frozen raspberries
  • 1 cup of frozen strawberries
  • 1 bottle of champagne (6 glasses)

Put desired berries into the glass and fill with champagne. The champagne soaked berries are a delicious finish to the drink! You can either pre-make these or have small dishes of the berries and let guests build their own! It is a fun and interactive twist on the classic champagne.

*Tip: For kids and non-drinkers, follow the same recipe, just use non-flavored sparkling water!

Fresh + Spicy Margarita

I love a good margarita any time of the year (see my Mommy Margarita recipe). Nothing beats a fresh and refreshing homemade margarita so here is the recipe for my current fav: Fresh + Spicy Margarita.

Ingredients:

  • 3/4 oz fresh squeezed tangerine juice
  • 1 tsp agave or simple syrup
  • 1 oz fresh lime juice
  • 2 oz Silver Tequila
  • 1 oz Grand Marnier
  • Salt for rim
  • lime wedges (for garnish)
  • Two cut jalapeños (seeds removed)
  • Ice cubes

Muddle the jalapeños into rings with agave or simple syrup until smooth. Add the muddled jalapeños, lime juice, tangerine juice, Grand Marnier, tequila and ice to a shaker and shake, shake, shake. Then wet the rim of your glass and dip it in salt. Lastly, add ice cubes to your glass, strain the mixture in, garnish with lime or a jalapeño round and cheers to the new year!


Spicy Soto Sangria

Another favorite of mine, I like making this sangria and having a pitcher available for whoever wants to enjoy the festivities with decadent festive drink.

Ingredients:

  • 1 bottle of red wine
  • 1 orange, cut into wedges
  • 1 mango diced
  • 1 apple diced
  • 1 jalapeño diced, with seeds removed
  • 1 lime cut into wedges
  • 1/4 cup agave
  • 2 shots of brandy
  • 2 cups of club soda

Directions:

In a pitcher, combine the red wine, agave, and brandy. Stir until mixed and then top with the club soda. Add the oranges, mangos, apples, limes and jalapeño and let it chill for 2 hours or more. Garnish with an orange or lime on the side of the glass, serve and enjoy!

*Tip – marinate some extra jalapeños in the sangria mixture on the side for those who want theirs extra spicy.

I am beyond proud to be Olivia’s mom. I say this I am beyond proud to be Olivia’s mom. I say this constantly, but she’s not a normal 6 year old (if you’ve spent any time with her, you’d agree). She teaches me something new about life on a daily basis and I take no credit for what a beautiful soul she is. She came into this world that way. 

Her comedic timing always keeps me laughing (the other day she told me I needed a time out, right at the perfect moment). 

Right now, I’m in a hotel room in Pittsburgh… wishing tomorrow was spent enjoying time with my family. Being a working mom is sometimes difficult and lonely but I’m grateful that she makes me feel like it’s Mother’s Day every single day. 

Happy Mother’s Day! ❤️
I am so honored to team up with @KeterOfficial for I am so honored to team up with @KeterOfficial for #KeterGreenSpaces: the first of many projects that aim to beautify our communities and create a greener future for the next generation. To kick things off, we dropped into my hometown of Miami this week to build a brand new outdoor classroom for North Miami Elementary. In partnership with @EducationFundMiami to bring the project to life, the students now have access to functioning outdoor gardens, proper weather-proof storage, and relaxing communal spaces that foster an environment where learning and creativity can flourish.

Next up, creating and outdoor garden for us here at the house! 🍃 🍅

Last year, the citrus trees at my house hardly had Last year, the citrus trees at my house hardly had any fruit. Actually, the orange tree had absolutely none. This season, I can’t believe how many oranges and lemons I have. It’s more than ever before!!! I’m sure there is a logical explanation for it, but the hippy in me wants to believe it’s because I came out of a mental funk last year. 

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
