With things around the country becoming more concerning, I thought I should address here that I will try to keep this space uplifting, light, and hopefully helpful in the ways I have always strived to do…. hopefully this space can be a reprieve from the daunting news that is thrown at us daily.

So with that being said, I thought that a cocktail for today’s Wellness(ish) Wednesday post would be a perfect fit… I mean, if we’re going to be at home for the foreseeable future, why not have a little fun and get creative??

TJ + I made these refreshing rosemary + grapefruit la paloma cocktails several weeks ago. We made two version, with + without the agave nectar, and came to the conclusion that subtle taste of sweetness that it adds is the perfect touch (but, up to you what you want to do with it!). We ended up pairing it with some delicious tacos, guacamole, and chips for a Mexican themed at home date night….

And, if you’re looking for a few other fun cocktails, I recommend these Gin + Tonics, Spicy Margaritas, and these Champagne on Ice cocktails (a very old post…)….

ROSEMARY + GRAPEFRUIT LA PALOMA

2oz Blanco Tequila
1/4 of a large grapefruit, juiced
1/2 of a lime, juiced
1/4 of a lemon, juiced
1tsp agave nectar
Rosemary sprigs
Sea salt
Perrier grapefruit sparkling water

Mix tequila, grapefruit juice, lime juice, lemon juice, and agave nectar in a cocktail shaker

Rim a cocktail glass with pink Himalayan sea salt

Pour in cocktail + top with Perrier grapefruit sparkling water (or any other kind of sparkling water). Garnish with rosemary sprig.

CHEERS!!
