Warmer weather is HERE and that means picnics & outdoor soirées! However, summer 2020 won’t look exactly like summers of the past…we still need to be smart about getting together with our friends. Personally, we love picnics and we’ve been getting *quite* creative at making them absolutely GLAM! Think fun drinks, gorgeous platters, with lemons on them, and delicious treats.
Just because we need to be safe doesn’t mean we need to give up fabulousity!
During quarantine, we worked on mastering our cocktail game. Molly makes an incredible spicy margarita with jalapenos and recently made watermelon margs (you can find on our IG). It is so fun to test out new drinks and surprise your guests with a restaurant-worthy cocktail!
I recently came up with a Blackberry Mint Fizz drink with tequila and sparkling water! Since I’m home now, I drink legit 10 seltzers per day (not exaggerating) and it’s quick and easy to make cocktails with ingredients you already have in the house!
The Blackberry Mint Fizz is a super refreshing, tequila-based cocktail that is perfect for making in a pitcher to serve at a dinner party or picnic!
The drink is sooo simple and sooo satisfying!
Start off by making a puree of blackberries & mint leaves.
Next, add the puree and tequila to a cocktail shaker filled with ice and…
shake, shake, shake!
Pour the mixture into an ice-filled pitcher, add Cascade Ice Organic Sparkling Water to top it off, garnish with more blackberries and mint leaves
Cascade Ice Organic Sparkling Water uses organic fruit to flavor their sparkling water giving them a real fruit flavor that is hard to find in other seltzers – this is important to me because I drink so many per day, I want to make sure what I’m putting in my body is healthy – no fake ingredients for me!! Plus it is organic 🙂
Cascade is only two ingredients –
carbonated water and organic fruit flavor…
can’t get better than that!!

Full transparency – I worked with Cascade on this project; however, I drank Cascade sparkling water before this project and I am completely obsessed with them! I love the unique flavor selection and the health factor (organic).
All partnerships we do with brands are completely genuine and are products we are passionate about! We wouldn’t showcase a product simply for a collab – your trust is the most valuable thing to us <3
HAPPY MIXING, DARLINGS
