Watermelon is everywhere in summertime. It’s cool, refreshing, and looks wonderful in Instagram pictures (I know I’m not the only one who might have purchased food for a snapshot!) So I knew that I had to incorporate it into at least one cocktail this season! This Tequila Spiked Watermelon Agua Fresca is equal parts delicious and perfectly cool for a summertime poolside cocktail!

Summer Drink Series: Spiked Blackberry-Sage Lemonade
Hello Darlings! I have loved lemonade for as long as I can remember. However, as I’ve aged I like to think my tastes have become a bit more elegant (except you still can’t beat a box of Annie’s mac and cheese- I’m not 100% adult, promise).

The flavor of chai is all about the freshness of the spices, and I love mine extra spicy- so I used super fresh spices from fresh ginger to whole cardamom pods from Jiva Organics. I love that Jiva Organics is all about sustainability (the word jiva actually means ... Read More about Summer Drink Series: Homemade Vegan Iced Chai Latte
Summer Drink Series: Lavender Whiskey Sour
Hello Darlings! If you’ve been reading Chickadee Says for a while you might have noticed that I am rather obsessed with lavender. So when I was at the Blend Retreat in the beginning of June and spotted a lavender-whiskey cocktail on the menu at one of the distilleries in downtown Park City, I immediately ordered it. However, silly me didn’t think to ask about the ingredients until, well, when I decided to try to make it myself. So, while this isn’t a copy cat recipe, I most definitely was ...
