Beverages. They’re so hot right now.
This month’s Recipe Redux is all about the growing drink trend that we’re seeing emerge on Pinterest and magazines everywhere. Whether it’s a trendy green smoothie, a decadent cocktail, or a hip hot beverage, drinks be everywhere. Drinks be everywhere on my blog too – remember the chocolate cherry frosty or the blueberry basil lemonade fizz (my first ever recipe redux post)?
My inspiration was brunch happy hour. Last Sunday, Steve made eggs and deliciously spiced home fries while I played resident mixologist. Now, that’s what I call teamwork! I decided to makeover the traditional champagne cocktail that calls for sugar cubes and sweeten with juice of the winter citrus that I can’t get enough of this year. This was the BEST way to celebrate four years of blogging!

Oh I saw these on instagram and thought that orange twirl was so gorgeous! Plus, my sister is dating an Italian guy and now she talks ALL THE TIME about prosecco…she’d be thrilled with this drink!!
Oh how I love champagne mixed with, well, almost anything! I must try to make more cocktails at home…
Well I just want to know how you got those mandarin curls. Such a simple but pretty garnish.
This looks so refreshing. I can’t wait to try it!
Looks delicious!

If I had a signature drink, this very well may be it. There’s almost always a bottle of Prosecco chilling in our fridge – love the mandarin twist vs. just regular oj. Cheers!

Gorgeous! Love the mandarin spin. Need to try for an upcoming brunch.
