42 below :: honey vodka

a while back,  i was in SF for a work trip... i stumbled upon the most amazing stuff  ---  honey flavored vodka!
yes!! i'm a fan of all things honey, so this was exciting for me... and this stuff is amazing! 

i had quite a few drinks at this bar with this gal... and we were in love with this stuff.

i tracked it down after on the internet... and it comes all the way from new zealand! 

the company is 42 below and they make a few other interesting flavored vodkas (and have won tons of awards too).

you must check out the 42 below site and click on "products". i love the way they display their vodka flavors
(which all sound amazing by the way - kiwi, passion fruit, & feijoa - YUM!)

then click on "tasting notes" to hear that fab kiwi accent (which i can never get enough of!) talk about the product! ;)

i'm on the hunt for a bar in sd that has this stuff... 

and if you ever find yourself in SF, head over to 15 romolo for a track 42... promise you'll love it 

(and thank me for the cute eye candy behind the bar too!).

PS - they suggest drinking 42 below honey with ginger beer (um... hello! my fav ever!) and lime! yum.... 

i think i need to order some of this stuff now for this summer!

PSS... since we missed some tunes we love on tuesday... 

here's two songs i'm loving right now by the band stornoway! 

check them out!

slammy juice

as an extension to krissy's last post on wine spritzers... i wanted to post my favorite recipe.

i have to give credit to my good friend tammy for inventing this one and sharing with me. we were both on a work trip to NY together once and on the plane ride out, she introduced me to what she calls "slammy juice". how perfect is that name!? (it's even better if you know tammy!)
i have since then passed this along to many of my friends... and find myself often ordering these drinks to make one when i'm on a plane.

>>> slammy juice <<<

ginger ale

red wine

pour desired amounts over ice... and enjoy! 

seriously, the best thing ever! especially on a plane for some reason... kind of fun to make while you're sitting in your tiny cramped seat. ;)
try it out next time you're on a plane... it's light and refreshing.

speaking of planes... i'm off to san fran with shelby today... we have some shoots up there + some client meetings... but we are planning to have a ton of fun too. ;)
(i'll have to introduce her to some slammy juice!)

have a great weekend! xo
