Whether you're toasting to the royal wedding or to the fact that the hoopla about it is finally almost over, do so with a delicious cocktail in hand! This recipe for a Pimm's Cooler uses England's most popular spirit, Pimm's No 1. You may have to seek it out at Beverages and More (I tried at Safeway first, but they didn't carry it), but trust me, it's worth it: this drink is absolutely amazing! Rarely do I make the same beverage twice and I've already made this one three times in the past week. It's refreshing, fruity, and perfectly balanced. Plus it's got a gorgeous hue and pretty garnishes. You simply must make this cooler, so get the recipe now.

Our very own Kristy Korcz started a new OnSugar blog, Target Wine Club — a great way to explore new wines on a budget! First up: an Argentinean Malbec.
I half-expected this hybrid to kick me in the back of my palate on the way down (isn't that what bold malbecs are known for?), but it totally didn't. I was a little disappointed with the "fake" rubber cork (especially since this is an earth-friendly, fair trade vintage), but after a little investigation, it turns out it's probably better this way — my vino won't be "tainted" by all those natural fibers and junk. The bottle said it went well with grilled meats, which I can fully attest to, if by "grilled meats" you mean the heat and serve chicken nuggets from the frozen food aisle. Yum-o.
