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!
