Our first vacation together was to Napa Valley while were dating back in 2013. Then we got married in Napa in 2014. And the rest is history I guess! This is a very special place to us that has many memories tied to it🍷🍇 

Looking forward to see what the next 10 years has in store! Love doing life with you @alexgrivna 🥰😘

Favorite Summer Cocktails

It is no lie that Alex and I love our happy hours and cocktails! We love trying new and interesting drinks when we go out to dinner – it is so fun to see what people come up with.

Summer is the perfect time to try a new cocktail recipe – we definitely have more mixed drinks during summer vs. any other season!

Below are some of our current favorite cocktail recipes. Some of them are very traditional, while others are a little more creative. I hope that these inspire you the next time you are craving a new creation!

  • Gin and Tonic
    • 3 oz gin + 4 oz tonic water + 1/2 lime squeezed in
  • Margarita
    • One of our favorites!
    • 3 oz tequila + 1 oz triple sec + 1.5 limes squeezed in
  • French 75
    • I first discovered this drink at Tiny Boxwoods in Houston, and I have been obsessed ever since.
    • 1.5 oz gin + 1 oz lemon juice + 1/2 oz simple syrup + 3 oz prosecco
  • London Mule
    • Basically, this is just like a Moscow Mule, but with gin instead.
    • 3 oz gin + half bottle/can of Diet Ginger Beer + squeeze half of a lime in
  • The Cucumber Rickey
    • Recipe is linked above.
