Vanilla Melon Margarita is the smooth, intoxicatingly fragrant drink of summer you absolutely cannot live without…would I joke about this?? No I would not!! What are you still doing here? Go make it immediately, thank me later…

Usher in spring with a fresh Key Lime Daiquiri! I love the incredibly floral and brightly tart juice of tiny key limes, but this drink is excellent with regular limes, too. So much more than the sum of its parts, it makes for an incredibly refined sip — especially in a matching green coupe glass!

A sweet twist on the classic of leather armchair and smoky back room legend, a Honeyed Old Fashioned is the perfect elixir to begin or complete a festive evening. Click here to shop the outfit & ingredients!

I went for a drop of honey because I like that richer caramel note more than the usual sugar cube, but you can also just use a splash of the syrup from the cherries if that’s more tempting.

While I wouldn’t claim this is an authentic recipe, I would say it’s what you want in your cup when you’re in the mood for a drink that warms you from the inside out, is equal parts playful and sophisticated, and goes down (almost too) easy. Let me know if you try it at home!

NB: While I enjoyed lighting the orange essential oil sprays on fire for our viewing pleasure and for the gentle smoky note it imbues, you get a better punch of fresh orange zing if you spritz it right over top of the finished drink by giving the orange peel a good twist. You could do both.
