A Taste of The Master’s at Home The Azalea Cocktail is a traditional drink served at The Master’s Tournament that is very simple and tastes slightly sweet and very smooth. All you need is vodka, lemonade, and grenadine shaken with ice and then served on the rocks with a pretty, spring-like garnish.

That’s why I’ve made it (one of) my life’s work(s) to document the best bars at Disney. Disney knows that their movies will be more successful if they’re appealing to adults as well as kids and the parks are no different. If you’re an adult who enjoys adult beverages you won’t be disappointed. In fact one of the many things Disney does right is that their drinks are never…

Continue ReadingA Kitchen Party In A Cup The story behind these Pantry Drinks is a funny one. I used to host Sunday dinner at my house about once a month, a tradition I carried on after my Mother-In-Law passed away. We would usually have a big pot of Sunday Sauce and Meatballs.

Continue ReadingA Cold Caffeine Fix for Cheap I have learned many useful things since I started blogging and using Instagram.
