lemon zest honey lemonade...with a splash a vodka for good measure

So this past Saturday I came across the blog for Rolling Greens, and found inspiration with one of their cocktails they posted about.  I had to tweak it a bit because I couldn't find lavender honey anywhere, but did find some mighty tasty whipped honey with lemon zest at Whole Foods.  I mixed that along with some fresh squeezed lemon juice, some vodka and blended together with some ice to have a very delicious little treat.  I garnished the drink with a sprig of lavender and lemon slice just for appearance sake.  You can see the recipe for inspiration here, I adjusted it a bit with the amounts of vodka and honey I used but you can certainly do what you think is tastiest....just drink responsibly.  

 

Quench your thirst....

So it was extremely warm this weekend, and I loved every minute of it.  With the warmer weather my mood instantly changes, it makes me soo happy.  I think I become Vitamin D deficient in the winter.  Any who, I was in need of a refreshing and tasty drink to quench the thirst and help rehydrate after the St. Patty's day festivities.

I whipped up a pitcher of this water and it's soooo good and good for you :)

Slice a couple of lemons and use the juice of about 2 more.  Obviously, more or less to taste.

Peel and slice a small cucumber and add fresh picked mint.  (I used orange mint but any type would do the trick, also fresh basil may be very delicious as well).

Super easy, very refreshing and a little like being at a fancy spa.
