Summer is here and the sundresses and sangria are flowin’! Whether you’re looking for a pre-dinner drink or a luscious libation for a summer bash, we’ve got the perfect recipe.

Packed with fresh fruit and topped with a splash of club soda, this white wine sangria recipe offers the perfect reprieve for a hot day. One of the things I love most about this recipe is that it’s not too sweet, especially if you pick a dry white wine like Sauvingnon Blanc. Another bonus? You can make this exact recipe with red wine and it’s just as delicious. I made a pitcher of each for a family gathering, and it did not last long!

Blueberry Rosemary Spritz Cocktail

Since quarantine started back in 2020, I’d be lying if I said that our liquor cabinet hasn’t grown quite a bit.

Hey guys, Courtney here. This past weekend, the weather in NYC exceeded 90 degrees, which meant that fruity spritzers replaced heavy IPAs and sundresses replaced sweatpants.

Made with fresh blueberries, rosemary, vodka, lemon, simple syrup, and club soda, this cocktail is refreshing and delicious sans the insane amount of sugar that my usual go-tos come with (although I am always down for a pina colada).

Easy Espresso Martini Recipe (Dairy-Free!)

Have you ever found yourself simultaneously in need of a pick-me-up and an excuse to get a little drunk? Of course you have, which is why we’re sharing our favorite dairy-free espresso martini recipe today.

This non-dairy espresso martini recipe is our go-to when it’s happy hour o’clock but we’re also borderline too tired to participate. It’s delicious, easy to make, and absolutely nothing like a red bull vodka.

It’s also free of any heavy cream or dairy, which sometimes makes a drink like this a little too rich for me. The result is a perfect libation for your next girl’s night, date night, or literally any occasion ever.
