Happy Hour: French Press Cocktails

May 1, 2020

No, these cocktails do not include coffee.  But if you have a French Press hiding in a dusty corner of your pantry, clean it up, because this cocktail trick is genius.

Brit + Co. has the skinny on this new cocktail must.  From what I gather you mix fruit and herbs with your favorite spirits and mixers, let all the goodness infuse together an then strain.  The Spruce Eats also has some specific recipes to get you started.

My first French Press concoction included oranges, tangerines, lemon, Earl Grey tea and a bit of bourbon.  I’m also planning to try pouring some leftover wine in with fruit for a sangria-like drink.

If there was a brand designed for the way we live now, it would be Lou & Grey.  Casual, relaxed, unfussy and still pretty.  From dresses to loungewear, they have everything I need for Coronavirus Summer.

This On the Dot Tunic dress is certainly no exception.  Also, the cute tie-front dress I put up last week is now 40% off.

Sadly, Lou & Grey is not inclusive.  However, their sister brand, LOFT, is and has some lovely semi-relaxed and casual pieces for warmer weather.

Happy Hour, Style

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 […]
