Bloody Rosé Sangria

June 27, 2024 by liz

If you live near the Santa Ynez Valley in Santa Barbara’s wine country, then you’ve heard of Buttonwood Farm & Vineyard‘s peaches. As you drive up Alamo Pintado between the charming towns of Los Olivos and Solvang (where we’re known for both wine tasting and Danish kitsch) you can’t miss the sign on the side …

White Peach Blueberry Sangria

June 10, 2024 by liz

It’s summer, so I’m on a Sangria kick. I developed these Sangria recipes while living and working on a micro-farm in Santa Barbara County; it was more work than I thought it would be! Sangria helped me keep it together: some days you just need a light, fruity, slightly sweet (or dry and zingy) pitcher …

Champagne Cocktail: Sparkling Holiday Spritzer

December 10, 2023 by liz

This is a delightful winter holiday cocktail with pears, cranberries and Sparkling Wine. You can use Champagne, Prosecco, Cava, Crémant or any other type of bubbles you can find—we especially love all the latest Central Coast Sparkling Wine. But honestly, the best bubbles for Champagne Cocktails are the more affordable sparkling wines, that are on …

Make Creepy Halloween Punch with this Bone Chillin’ Brew Recipe

October 1, 2023 by liz

Ever since I bought my new cake stand which doubles as a punch bowl, I’ve been looking for excuses to make punch (or retro layered salad). I fondly remember my mother’s parties when I was young, complete with polyester suits, funny 70s hairstyles and punch for everyone. So I was excited to find this creepy Halloween …

Wine Cocktail: White Peachy Bloody Mary Recipe

August 27, 2022 by liz

In the South, cold drinks are mandatory near the close of each work day…or maybe I should say just somewhere around 3 pm, when the day is at its hottest… and its humidest (and this is what humidity does to your brain in Alabama). This recipe is featured in the book The New Bloody Mary: …

Summer Cocktail Recipes, Pitcher Drinks & Cool Sips

August 26, 2021 by liz

You may remember from previous posts that I love a little herb in my desserts – well, I also love a little herb in my drinks. Especially basil. And cilantro (in my wine “Bloody Mary” sangria). And rosemary (in my strawberry ice cream)…ok I love them all. Give me a fennel-infused Bloody Mary with a …

Creamy Healthy Smoothies Perfect for Summer

June 8, 2019 by liz

I love healthy smoothies. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I’ve been obsessed with mixing up green concoctions for fruit smoothies and margaritas! But, creamy, green smoothies are one of the best ways to drink your greens. They are my favorite thing to drink on a warm summer morning, and also just after a run. …

Green Jalapeño Margarita: Go Green on Cinco de Mayo

Green Jalapeño Margarita Recipe: Go Green on Cinco de Mayo

May 1, 2019 by liz

Here’s a trend I’ve been seeing lately: adding spinach to smoothies, grating zucchini into brownies and stirring pumpkin into soup and pastas. This may sound crazy, but these are all good ways to get more nutrients into our diets, which most of us need! And, they really do taste delicious…or, rather, I should say they …

Better than Green Beer: Fresh Green Smoothies for St. Patrick’s Day

March 5, 2019 by liz

One way to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day is with (artificially) green-colored food and drinks: green beer, green eggs, green cupcakes, green milk…and the list goes on and on. This makes for some fun-colored eggs in the morning, which probably contain chemicals, and I’m pretty sure I don’t want to eat green gravy. Instead, how about …
