Boozy Smoothie

June 1, 2013
Boozy Smoothie

Umm, yum!  When it’s hot out (like right now in NYC) all you want is nice glass of something cold.  Whether that be a cold glass of water, soda, wine, even a margarita.  When it’s hot, it’s hot.  How about a Boozy Smoothie??  It’s very simple and easy to make; fruit, yogurt, and your favorite, cheap bottle of  wine.  I say “cheap” because the wine will be mixed into the…

Sweet Green Smoothie

March 19, 2013

Umm…yum!  This was one of those pins that blew up on Pinterest (from The Beauty Thesis).  You know the ones; you see them every single day on every person’s board.  No?  Maybe I’m the only Pinterest troll.  I wanted to see what the hype was about.  This smoothie was said to give you lots of energy and make you feel good – that’s why I wanted to try it.  I’ve…

Passion Fruit Margaritas

February 14, 2013

Add 2 shots of passion – passion fruit that is – to your MarquisRita this Valentine’s Day.  A delicious new flavor, these passion fruit margaritas, although not red, are a delicious flavor to pair with your Valentine’s Day Festivities. At our favorite margarita serving restaurant – Blockheads (RIP!) – we mixed together the Passion Fruit and Strawberry syrups to come up with a delicious new flavor, Strassin Fruit.  Although we…

Winter White Sangria

December 10, 2012

Note: If you’re going to make this sangria, make it 4-24 hours in advance to let the fruit marinate.  The longer the better 🙂 I needed a sangria recipe for the holidays, and I wanted to try something a little different.  The Fall Sangria is delicious.  It’s full, has body, is sweet, won over our friends, but was not a hit with the older adults in my family.  I made this sangria…

Fall Sangria

October 22, 2012

A summer fav, Sangria is a popular wine “punch.”  It first started with the Romans (around 200 B.C.) when they arrived in Spain, planting vineyards as they conquered the country.  But it wasn’t until 1964 that Sangria made an official appearance in the United States when it was brought to the World’s Fair held in New York City.  Today, sangria is enjoyed around the world in restaurants  bars, and even at…

Mango Mimosas

September 7, 2012

TGIF!  Start your morning with some mango mimosas.  I had mango mimosas when a friend and I went out to brunch a few weeks ago and loved them. So, naturally, I needed to try to make these myself… Ingredients: 4 Mangos 1 Bottle of champagne I’ve never cut mangos before.  I discovered that they are 1.) slimy and 2.) hard to cut.  Be sure to peel them so that you’re…

Red Wine Spritzer

August 23, 2012

I am a lover of red wine. White wine, not really a fan.  When someone told me they put red wine in the fridge, I looked at them like they were crazy – red wine shouldn’t be cold… Then I learned about this lovely drink I saw on my friend’s Instagram: [recipe] Red Wine Spritzer Red wine (we used a Cabernet) Lemon-Lime soda (aka Sprite) Ice Cubes (3?) Garnish (if…

Frozen Margarita [aka The Marquisrita]

July 30, 2012
The Marquisrita

Sometimes you just want a good, frozen margarita. Why not try out this easy recipe for my famous Marquisrita. That’s pronounced Mar-Key-Rita, and said just as fast as margarita. Did I lose you? I can’t take the credit for this perfect name, that credit will have to go to our friend, Mike. What’s great about a frozen margarita is it’s simple to make and refreshing. It’s a very basic “1,…

Frozen Strawberry Lemonade Margarita

July 29, 2011
frozen strawberry lemonade margarita

One of my new favorite recipes! To get your homemade, frozen strawberry lemonade margarita, just follow my recipe below for a whole pitcher. These are best enjoyed on hot, humid, summer days when the sun is just approaching golden hour. The Marquisrita, while a simple, frozen lime margarita, was not the one that inspired the name. Yes, multiple pitchers and time contributed to the named margarita. However, it wasn’t until…
