SWEET KIWI LIME DAIQUIRI

Have you checked the calendar recently? HOW is it March already! Not even March…..MID March! This month….year….is flying by!

Also this weekend is St. Patrick’s Day (just in case you didn’t realize due to the flying of days I mentioned above)  which does provide a good excuse to kick back and relax a bit! I’m not a huge fan of celebrating St. Patty’s day out – it’s crowded and noisy but I am not opposed to celebrating at home with a delicious cocktail! Being Saint Patrick’s Day I thought it was perfectly fitting to create a green fruity beverage to enjoy. Now normally you mainly see green beer but I’m not a huge fan of beer and leave that for my husband to enjoy. Ha! Fun fact – my husband’s name is Patryk (yes spelled that way) and he insists that we celebrate St. Patryk’s Day! I have literally written St. Patrick’s Day incorrectly about 44 times today! So instead of the typical green beer I have decided to class up this joint, throw in our daily serving of fruit (not quite but I try ha!) and present you with this fabulous Sweet Kiwi Lime Daiquiri.

BUILD YOUR OWN CAESAR COCKTAIL BAR

One of my favorite tips when hosting a party is to have an area where guests can entertain themselves. This could be a photo booth backdrop area or “make your own” activity which allows some entertainment for guests while you put together the last minute touches on your food items.

With a fun suggestion from my sister Patrycja, we decided to spice up our last get together and create a “build your own” Caesar cocktail bar! I always have so much fun putting these types of things together because the possibilities are endless and your imagination can run wild.

VALENTINE’S NIGHT WITH THE GIRLS

I love me a kick-ass girl’s day but it definitely does not happen enough! I feel like February is the perfect time to plan a day together, whether it consists of hosting a Galentine’s Day party or just gathering on the couch for one epic V-Day night. Don’t stress if you cannot do it near the 14th  – anytime throughout the month will work! If it’s after the 14th you get the bonus of discounted candy/chocolate – hint hint. Having everyone together is always so much fun therefore whenever you can make this happen is great!

LIME BERRY REFRESHER

This Lime Berry Refresher is the perfect drink to serve at your next party coming up…….possibly New Year’s Eve anyone?? If you have forgotten – it’s tomorrow!

This drink makes life easy – simple ingredients that don’t need to measured too carefully and can be adjusted depending on your sweetness level. Also feel free to add in your favourite alcohol OR keep it a mocktail – tastes great both ways!

PINK AND ORANGE SUMMER PATIO PARTY

As the evenings start to get cooler I can feel Fall (my favourite season) is right around the corner. Although I am excited at the prospect of snuggly sweaters – I am not quite ready to give up the summer just yet! We still have a few warm weekends ahead of us and I plan to take full advantage in celebrating the last bit of summer joys starting with a lovely sangria drink this weekend – ahhhhh it already feels relaxing!

My favourite summer tradition is having friends over for a relaxing get together while enjoying some beautiful patio weather (since it doesn’t last that long here in Canada).  Having people over gives me the excuse to be a little creative in my meal planning and decor setup. This fun setup is the perfect reason to invite some friends over and enjoy a nice relaxing cocktail while enjoying the last bit of sunshine!
