I’m working late ‘cause I’m a writer.💃 Sorry y’all, but I’ve been dying to get that one out of my system. Now that that’s out the way, I’m super excited to share that Sabrina Carpenter has partnered with two iconic brands to release a product I’ve been eagerly waiting for: an Espresso Martini kit!

It’s finally happened, folks! I’m taking part in my first ever Dry January. Funny enough, I started a week late because I was on a press trip with WhistlePig Whiskey and Sunkist for the release of their Wet and Dry Orange Fashioned. On the trip, we sampled both offerings, but I was most curious about the Dry Orange Fashioned since I’ve never had a zero proof Old Fashioned before.

If you’re like me then you’ve been using Simply Lemonade’s collection of juices as cocktail mixers for yearsss. Well, it appears that Simply has caught on to our at-home mixology practices because the beverage brand has just introduced their first-ever Simply Mixology line. The refreshing, new line is comprised of “cocktail-inspired, fruit-forward, and alcohol-free juice blends.” Those blends include Strawberry Guava Mojito, Lime Margarita, and Peach Sour.

If you can’t already tell from my last recipe, I’m really having a great time mixing up drink recipes with Chambord. A raspberry liqueur straight out of France, Chambord is super versatile and tasty all on its own. It can be mixed with just about any spirit to create a Lushworthy concoction of your choosing.

For my latest recipe, I wanted to create a cocktail that was heavy on the spirits, instead of one heavy on a variety of mixers. I opted for Van Gogh Acai Blueberry Vodka and Chambord, and gave my drink a tart edge with the addition of fresh lemon juice. And since I wanted an extra ingredient that would provide a little pizzazz, I opted for chamomile bitters.
