It's the most wonderful time of the year! Springtime and sunshine 🌞 We ventured out and came to one of our fav spots on the island Neighbourly Wine Company! Just a couple shots of this spectacular place. We'll start sharing more of our weekend happy hour adventures once again. Join

Happy Holidays, everyone!

We’re back with a Christmas-themed holiday cocktail show to help us all celebrate the season.
We hope you, your family, and your friends have a wonderful holiday! We’ll be back soon with another themed Happy Hour. Maybe even a New Year’s edition 😉

Here’s the recipes:

Christmas Martini
2 oz vodka
1 oz raspberry liqueur (Chambord)
1 oz crème de cacao blanc
1 sprig rosemary

Add ice and all ingredients to a shaker and shake well. Strain into a martini glass and garnish with a sprig of rosemary. Enjoy!

Creamy Christmas Cocktail
1.5 oz vodka
1.5 oz amaretto
1.5 oz heavy whipping cream
Freshly grated nutmeg, for garnish
Chill a martini or coupe glass. Add all ingredients to a shaker with ice, shake until cold, and strain into the chilled glass. Grate a little nutmeg on top and enjoy!
---
Here’s the app I whipped up and mentioned during the show. It’s my cure for decision fatigue and my new personal assistant. I don’t want to figure out dinner, chase 150 grams of protein, fix bad habits, style my own closet, or remember hair and makeup tricks that actually work for me. So, I whipped up this app. It already knows me. It’s not chatty. No prompting, no blank page, no five different apps. I also added a little tarot and crystal-ball magic, and end of the day wind-down features. One app, morning to night.

Feel free to give it a whirl! It’s still evolving, but I’d love your feedback: https://beautyplease.com

Hi everyone, happy weekend! 🍸 Today’s Happy Hour is all about the ultimate dirty martini. We started out with our usual Absolut vodka, a bottle of dry vermouth that had been open a little too long and some grocery store olive brind. Then we decided to step things up with premium vodka (Grey Goose), freshly opened vermouth, and top-quality olives with rich brine.

It took a few rounds of tasting, but the premium mix was absolutely worth it, smooth, crisp, and every bit as fabulous as the dirty martinis we had at a Michelin-starred restaurant in San José del Cabo.

Here’s John’s method: 2 ounces vodka, ⅓ ounce vermouth, and ⅓ ounce olive brine, shaken not stirred until icy cold, then served with those beautiful premium olives. And for snacks, we went with garlic-stuffed olives and crunchy almonds, the perfect pairing.

Have a fabulous week ahead and we'll see you again next week! Hope you've been having a fab summer!

Happy Sunday everyone! Hope you all enjoyed your weekend! We’re whipping up some Pina Coladas today – sweet and not so sweet. Check them out – the first one was better in our opinion. Have a fab rest of weekend and great week ahead! Loving the rain for a bit – sun shall return 😊

Here’s the recipes:

Pina Colada #1

3 oz Cream of Coconut – the sweet one
2 oz Amber rum – we used 1.5 of Amber rum and .5 of Malibu Rum
¼ of a Lime – if it seems too sweet
2 cups Ice
Pour all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Garnish with pieces of pineapple and maraschino cherry. Enjoy!

Pina Colada #2
6 oz of Coconut Cream – not so sweet
2 oz Amber rum – we used 1.5 of Amber rum and .5 of Malibu Rum
2 oz Simple syrup
1 cup of Frozen pineapple pieces
1 to 1.5 cups of ice
Pour all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Garnish with pieces of pineapple and maraschino cherry. Enjoy!

Thanks everyone!
