Happy Hour: Deep Crimson

Oct 1, 2010

 

Tibi Pleated Metallic Dress (Net-a-Porter, $400)

It’s time to start stocking up for the Holiday party season.  This pleated cotton dress is perfect for early Fall events and yule tide get togethers.  I would wear it with a long boyfriend jacket, a pair of platform heels and a studded clutch.

While the FDA may take issue with advertising claims that pomegranates are a miracle cure, you can’t deny that the seedy fruits are mighty tasty.  And they are especially delicious when mixed into an adult beverage.

This cocktail combines the rich flavor of pomegranate with hints of citrus.  Perfect for the Holidays, but really, who can wait that long?

Citrus and Pomegranate Cocktail

1 1/2 cup(s) grapefruit or orange juice
1 1/2 cup(s) pomegranate juice
1 1/2 cup(s) ice cubes, plus more for serving
3/4 cup(s) Campari
6  twists orange zest, or 6 thin slices of seedless orange

Combine grapefruit (or orange) juice, pomegranate juice, and ice cubes in a blender. Blend until the ice is very finely chopped and the mixture is foamy and pale pink.

Transfer to a pitcher and stir in Campari. Serve over ice, garnished with a twist or slice of orange.

 

Happy Hour

    I'm so glad you featured this drink, Belle! I drink Campari regularly ever since I studied in Italy. I had some in the cabinet, so I dashed out for juice and we enjoyed these before dinner. Simply wonderful. If you get yourself a bottle of this and want to mix it up, try making a spritz or a campari macchiato (watered down with sparkling white wine).

My dark under eye circles have been the bane of my existence since I was 12. Is the cause lack of sleep? Dehydration? Sinus issues? Stress? Who the hell knows. But there they are, every day, telling the world that I am an exhausted working Mom.

Saw It On Social: The Battle of the Spendy Swimsuits

Sloane loves the pool. She jumps from the deck into the water with a crash, never considering her own safety, only to emerge on the surface, shouting “Again!” The pool is my daughter’s happy place. But no place where I need to wear a swimsuit in public is a happy one for me.

The Mondays: July 22, 2024

The Crowdstrike/Microsoft Meltdown forced me to take a few days off this weekend. No laptop. No billable hours. So we packed Sloane up for a visit to a local llama farm, stopped by the pool, went for coffee, etc. Few things are as funny as watching a 23-month old feed carrots to a ravenous rescue […]
