I’ve always been a fan of a great at-home bar. I strongly believe it’s a must-learn life skill to mix up classic cocktails, and as an avid host, it’s important to provide an array...
Looking back on Easter as a child, I remember how excited I was to dig through my Easter basket. Full of chocolate bunnies, malt ball Easter eggs, Peeps, golden coins, and my favorite Cadbury...
Lets be honest, salads can be boring. So I’m always trying to think outside of the box to come up with salad recipes that I’ll thoroughly enjoy, but are beyond easy to make. Enter...

No matter how many times I set a table I always find myself asking what side of the plate does the fork go on again? So I thought, that’s it I’m creating a guide. A beautiful guide of course. A guide complete with formal, informal, and accompaniment place settings and one that includes the calligraphy talents of Jamie Jimenez, tableware by Vintage English Teacup, and the photography skills of Rustic White. So my Loves next time you find yourself wondering where the wine glass goes, well we have your answer. truly, MKR
I’ve always adored The Derby. It may be because it falls on my birthday. Or it may be because it’s a day that celebrates extra large hats, pastels, and dainty lace gloves. Or it may be because I get to sip a mint julep while celebrating my birthday and wearing an extra large hat and dainty lace gloves. Yep, thats it. And this year for The Derby, I bet big and created three different ways to enjoy this festive libation. The classic julep, a strawberry mint julep and a tangerine julep complete with fruit filled ice molds, (simply buy THESE and freeze the juice with a tad bit of puree the night before). So Loves grab your hat, pick your horse and happy Derby! truly, MKR
Here in Atlanta there’s nothing more symbolic of warmer weather than fresh Georgia peaches. And with the warm weather finally here I figured I needed to find a way to shake and stir my the States most symbolic fruit into a must have cocktail. Enter my Boozy Peach Lemonade. By combining the tartness of lemons with sweet Georgia peaches and spiked with a little infused vodka, well my Loves you now have the perfect warm weather, very Southern libation. Cheers! truly, MKR
2 ounces peach flavored vodka such as Absolut APeach
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup hot water
2 1/2 cups fresh squeezed lemon juice
1 cup fresh peach juice or puree
3/4 gallon cold water
thyme to garnish
Instructions
In a 1 gallon+ container, place sugar and hot water, and stir until sugar dissolves.
Add lemon juice, peach juice, and cold water, stir. To get 1 cup of fresh peach juice peal 5-8 peaches (dependent on size) and juice in juicer or Vitamix. For a puree simply peal, slice, and muddle well.
Add vodka, stir until well mixed.
Pour lemonade over glasses of ice, squeeze slice of lemon on top of each, and garnish with a sprig of thyme.
**If you are using a peach puree rather than peach juice don't add to entire mixture, just muddle well and add to each glass before pouring.**
