Whether you’re celebrating the most special of occasions or simply having friends over for dinner you can always find a reason to bust out the bubbles.  And while bubbles on their own are more than adequate, why not kick it up a notch with a little orange and elderflower?!  The bitter orange of Averna Amaro (Italy’s most celebrated spirit) plus syrupy sweet St. Germain creates just the right counterbalance and the perfect champagne cocktail.  Cheers!  truly, MKR

A few weeks ago our dock mates chartered a boat and sailed around the US Virgin Islands for a week.  From the stories they had to tell and superb sun kissed skin they brought home I’d say they had the time of their life.  And while we weren’t along for the journey they brought back a little piece of the island for myself and the Mr.  They brought back painkillers.  Painkillers are a most refreshing fruit, coconut and rum filled cocktail and just a sip will make you feel like you are definitely living on island time.  Between these, my Sky Juice and Boozy Peach Lemonade I’d say the summer is shaping up quite nicely.  Cheers!  truly, MKR

When the good people at Jose Cuervo asked me to take part in celebrating 219 years with their History in a Bottle Campaign I jumped at the opportunity.  I mean who am I to say no to the good folks who invented the margarita?  Created in 1795 with agave harvested from volcanic soil Jose Cuervo has a rich, and very fascinating history.  A history you can experience yourself through watching the video below or downloading their augmented reality app.  I of course toasted Jose Cuervo in true WOM fashion by mixing up a pineapple margarita with their Tradicional Silver Tequila.  A margarita I guarantee you’ll be sipping on for Jose’s next 200+ years.  Cheers!  truly, MKR
