Mint Watermelon MargaritaMint Watermelon Margarita, Waiting On Martha

When summer rolls around I try to use my absolute favorite fruit, watermelon, in any and every way I can.  So the other night when tiring of my standard margarita and with a bowl full of fresh cut watermelon in the fridge I thought, “yes a watermelon margarita must happen.”  And happen it did.  The sweetness of fresh watermelon juice combined with refreshing mint sprigs, tart lime, and tequila will have you sipping all summer long.  Cheers!  truly, MKR

Pimm's Cup Waiting On MarthaPimm's Cup Recipe Waiting On Martha

On my recent trip to Napa one of the most memorable moments was actually the night we arrived and I found myself tucked into a corner table at Goose & Gander with new and fast friends Scott Beattie, Michael Pazdan, Mikael, and The Orisons.  The discussion was fast, furious, and exactly what I needed to get a little bit of inspiration I felt I was missing back, (it’s amazing what a night surrounded by fellow Creatives who are simply trying to put out the best version of their passion can do for ones soul).  And just as good as the discussion was the drink Scott ordered up for me; my very first Pimm’s Cup.  It was perfect in both sight and taste, and I couldn’t get enough.  So when I got back I knew I had to mix one up to share with all of you. Cheers!  truly, MKR
