Vodka can get a bad rap, but I think a lot of that stems from the cheap options from our college days. If the thought of it makes you queasy, it might be...

I love coffee, and I love cocktails (shocker, I know). But what I really love? Coffee cocktails — well, mocktails in this case. Coffee adds a rich flavor to classic drinks, plus a little boost of caffeine which can help you power through whatever your weekend has in store. Since coffee has such strong notes, it's also...

Fall has a lot going for it flavor-wise, but apple might be at the top of the list for me. I'm not really a cake person — given the choice, I'd much rather celebrate a birthday with a slice of pie. Growing up, pie was often on the table for special occasions, and apple is my dad's favorite, so I still...

Fall has just arrived (officially at least) and one drink is already standing out as a follower favorite: the Apple Cider Mocktail! It's not surprising to me.

This week is Negroni Week, a charitable event for bars across the country and a golden opportunity to enjoy the iconic cocktail. If you already know and love this ruby-hued sip, then cheers!

Homemade coffee creamer is my secret weapon to make any morning better and as soon as fall comes around this pumpkin spice coffee creamer is first on my list to make.
