Strawberry Aperol Spritz

July 2, 2015 By Shannah Coe Leave a Comment

The perfect summer cocktail is here! A Strawberry Aperol Spritz is light and refreshing with the perfect hint of strawberries for summer, just add ice!

I’m a huge fan of wine. But, during the summer, I usually choose a good cocktail over my standard glass of wine in the evening. A brunch event recently, I was introduced to an aperol spritz which is a compbination of aperol, sparkling wine and club soda. It was amazing and so perfect for me because I could still get my wine and have my cocktail! At home, I like to add a little extra something to mine and have a Strawberry Aperol Spritz.

Lemon Ginger Iced Tea Mojito

For as long as I can remember, iced tea has been a part of my way of life. Both of my grandparents, along with so many people in our town, worked for a company that produced tea when I was a child. We never had a meal where iced tea wasn’t the beverage of choice. Of course, being in the south, the tea was sweet but it was always present. Now, as I am a “northerner,” the tea might be a little less sweet than I grew up with but I still love iced tea. Pure Leaf makes it easier to enjoy that fresh brewed glass of tea taste without all the actual brewing on my part. For summer, we like to combine our iced tea into cocktails and one of my absolute favorites is a lemon ginger iced tea mojito.

Three Ingredient Sangria: Rioja Libre

May 25, 2015 By Shannah Coe 8 Comments

I am excited to bring you this recipe for the simplest cocktail ever! While this post was sponsored, all thoughts and opinions are my own.

A Rioja Libre is the best party drink! It is quick and easy to make with only 3 ingredients but tastes amazing. Just call it your three ingredient Sangria!

Happy Memorial Day! We are getting ready to celebrate with a get together with a bunch of close friends. We’re hosting and taking care of the burgers, hot dogs and drinks. I wanted an easy cocktail that I could make on a larger scale for the group. We were picking up sodas for the party so I decided to make a three ingredient Sangria, called Rioja Libre, for the adults to enjoy.

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Martini

January 29, 2015 By Shannah Coe 9 Comments

Hi there! I’m Christin, the gal behind the blog Blue Crab Martini where I dish up (mostly) healthy food, shake up creative cocktails, and give a glimpse into what life on the Chesapeake Bay is all about. I hope you stop by and visit me sometime! Today I’m so excited to be sharing this Chocolate Covered Strawberry Martini with you as my first contributor post here on Shannah’s beautiful blog!

Are you going out for Valentine’s Day this year?

If you’re like me, the answer is a definitive NO! Why? Because after spending the day chasing my two kids, attending sports practices, mopping the floors, cooking dinner, and trying to hold on to that last little ounce of sanity, there is absolutely no part of me that feels like getting dolled up and going out. No sparkly dress and 4” heels for me this year! Instead we’re planning a nice quiet evening at home.

Fall Sangria with Apples and Pears

September 18, 2014 By Shannah Coe 3 Comments

Grab some fresh fall apples and pears and get ready to make the best fall cocktail ever! Fall Sangria with Apples and Pears is totally my new favorite!

Back in the day, Mathlete and I were hardcore tailgaters. I used to love planning what we would take to the game to eat and drink. We had the luxury of our fellow tailgaters having a grill and we had a great little propane stove making it easy to have just about any we wanted. Of course, tailgating is just as much about what you are drinking as it is what you are eating.

Sangria isn't only for summer! This fall sangria is the perfect drink for the cooler fall temperatures.
