It’s almost the weekend and that means it’s time for cocktails! And when it’s summertime in Los Angeles, that means it’s time for MARGARITAS. If you know me, you know that I prefer to spend my calories on chips and guac instead of a sugar-bomb […]
Let’s talk about brunch baby, let’s talk about you and me! It’s no surprise that brunch is my favorite meal of the day, especially because it’s socially acceptable (and encouraged) to have a cocktail before noon. It also tends to be the most indulgent meal […]

All of my cocktails are naturally “skinny” by design – I’ve never been a fan of sugary drinks and I’d rather spend the calories on chips and guac. This recipe makes two margaritas, which you can easily multiply. Make a pitcher for the weekend and share […]
