Last weekend we had some friends over for a Southern-themed dinner party. I had been promising for years to make our friend A. my shrimp and grits. Looking for a Southern drink to serve alongside them, I immediately thought of homemade lemonade. But a little more grown up...

We'd cut it in half, put it on a TV tray, and watch a show side-by-side eating ice-cold watermelon with our spoons. While I'm still not a huge fan of… Continue reading watermelon rosé margaritas

The recipe below is my favorite ratio of… Continue reading classic margarita

A few years ago, we spent Christmas in Victoria, TX with my in-laws. As most Texas, Christmases go, it was sunny & 75 and perfect patio weather. Out at the Huber farm, there are beautiful orange trees and we'd just returned with a few buckets full of freshly picked ones. With an abundance of meyer… Continue reading orange & meyer lemon margaritas
