{isolation hydration | moscow mule}

My favorite drink... a Moscow mule! I always add mint to freshen it up - it reminds me of summers spent with my mom and sister sitting in the backyard. A "mule" is always made with ginger beer and lime plus a liquor. The liquor determines the name of the mule: vodka = Moscow mule, bourbon = Kentucky mule, tequila = Mexican mule, etc. A lime always helps bring out the spiciness of the ginger beer! I also believe that any mule cocktail tastes infinitely better out of a copper mug. Copper takes on the icy temperature of the drink and gives it an extra-cool sensation when you drink out of it - pure heaven.

What is your favorite mule to drink? Do you muddle any fruit or add a special touch?

Love Always,

{isolation hydration | spicy pineapple mint margaritas}

I always love putting a spin on a classic margarita recipe. Combining different ingredients for a new flavor is so fascinating to me. Of course, I had to make this cocktail spicy because the mint and pineapple combo is so sweet! I love how the flavors all balance each other out :) You can find the IGTV for this recipe here on my IG, @jennrog. This was created for Cinco de Mayo originally!

{isolation hydration | grapefruit rose spritzer}

I wanted to create a summery cocktail with my favorite roses from Gooseneck Vineyards! After many failed recipes this one is the perfect combination of delicious ingredients. The grapefruit addition helps compliment the dry grenache used in this wine! You can find the IGTV for this recipe here on my Instagram, @jennrog

Psst - a spritzer is simply wine mixed with something bubbly! Give it a shot

Love Always,

{isolation hydration | spicy citrus margarita}

Isolation Hydration! This was the first cocktail I made in this series on IGTV and it was a hit - watch the video here on my Instagram @jennrog. The fresh fruit juice and kick from the jalapeno is a perfect combination on a classic margarita cocktail. Fresh ingredients make this the best but you can easily use store bought juice so you can whip this up quickly!

What's your favorite cocktail to make at home? Have you tried a new recipe during quarantine?

Love Always,

{isolation hydration | skinny cucumber lemonade}

Isolation Hydration!! The random IGTV series I made up where I share cocktails I've created and we make them together :) This one was a challenge from my gym in Key West, FYT aka Find Your Tribe. Jess and Michelle wanted me to make a skinny cocktail that was big on flavor and low in calories - challenge accomplished. You can find the video on my Instagram, @jennrog, here.

What other cocktail recipes do y'all want to see? Is there a favorite liquor in your house? Always open to suggestions - it's been fun creating these recipes during this weird time in our lives!

Love Always,
