Many things are calling for celebration this month – Black history month, Valentine’s day, and many other exciting things in the works (stay tuned!). This cocktail recipe is one of those that I make all the time, but have never thought to post about. That’s changed, because I made one for a friend

Okay I’m going to come clean – I made this cocktail WEEKS ago and totally forgot to post the recipe. At the time that I made it I was craving a vacation somewhere exotic but my bank account wouldn’t allow it, so I settled for the drink version of a getaways.
Welcome to the most tropical-tasting thing you’ve ever tasted.
what you need:
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1 cup juiced blood orange
- 1 egg white
- 4.5 oz white rum (3 shots)
- ice
- dash of nutmeg
the how-to:
step one: add all ingredients to cocktail shaker and shake vigorously for 20 seconds
step two: remove ice from shaker with a spoon and dry shake for about a minute more
step three: pour into 2 glasses and serve
*A note on garnishes: When I make a fruity cocktail I like be extra with my garnishes. For this drink I used a “pineapple leaf” and a dehydrated blood orange (it’s homemade!) since these are the 2 juice ingredients in the drink. As a rule of thumb I always garnish based on what ingredients I used.

Hey everyone!
So if you’ve been on my Instagram lately you’d have noticed that I’ve been busy with a lot of things behind the scenes. I just finished finals and I was so ready for obscene amounts of Netflixing, but alas all the other work I’d put off crept up on me.
Between working hard to meet client deadlines and getting ready to start a new job in a few weeks, I’ve needed all the motivation that I can get. It’s tough out here, people. One of my “work breaks” aka procrastination sessions resulted in this motivational wallpaper that I have to share with you all.
It’s marble, rose gold and it features the infamous words “nevertheless, she persisted”. What more motivation could you ask for? Kudos to all of you out there getting after your dreams!
P.S. As always, don’t forget to share this wallpaper with others after downloading. Don’t wanna be selfish do we? 😉
I was waiting for even the slightest hint of Spring to whip this recipe out, and thanks to my friends at 90Plus Cellars I already had this bottle of delicious rosé waiting for me. In my humble opinion, there’s no better combination than alcohol and something sweet – and this is both! Enter frosé, a frozen
