Happy Hour: Pink Torpedoes
Inspired by a cocktail class I recently attended, I decided to make my own strawberry-infused vodka. The technique is simple: all you have to do is slice a bunch of strawberries and combine them with the vodka and a little sugar. Then you let it sit for a couple of days until the vodka has a vibrant pink color.
Come Party With Me: Rehearsal Dinner — Drinks
At a rehearsal dinner, don't go overboard with the alcohol. The last thing you'll (whether you're the bride, maid of honor, or a guest) want to deal with on the big day is a hangover. Don't offer a full bar, instead tempt guests with one cocktail, beer, wine, and sodas.
Happy Hour: Loft Liqueurs
Earlier this month, I was pleasantly surprised to hear about the opening of the world's first all-organic bar. So when I learned of Loft Liqueurs, the first USDA certified organic liqueur, I had to find out what all the hype was about.
Created by two best friends and San Francisco hospitality veterans to save people from "the bright neon color of your average apple martini," the limoncello-inspired spirits are at the forefront of sustainability and eco-consciousness.
Happy Hour: Italian Fruit Punch
Last week, while at my parents house, I was watching an old episode of Everyday Italian when my mom turned to me and said, "Let's make that cocktail!" With its vibrant color it looked amazing, so we sent my dad to the store to pick up the ingredients. The recipe calls for maraschino liqueur, a spirit that's pretty difficult to find.

Happy Hour: Limoncello Collins
A little while back, we received a bottle of Limoncé, Italy's "Number One Selling Limoncello." We planned on trying it straight, but when I stumbled across a recipe for a Limoncello Collins, I knew we had to try that instead. The original recipe asks you to make a large batch in a pitcher, unfortunately we didn't have a one at the Sugar HQ and we whipped up individual drinks instead.

No Bake Dessert: Sorbet with Limoncello Spiked Fruit
A scrumptious and wow-worthy dessert doesn't have to involve hours in the kitchen. Creating a dessert using fruit and sorbet as the base is an excellent way to make a quick, tasty, and wonderful dessert. The cool fruitiness is perfect after a spicy Indian meal, or a hot day in the sun.

Nice and New: Venetian-Style Votive Holders
I don't write much about housewarming gifts, but I think these Venetian-Style Votive Holders ($39 for six) from Napa Style would make an ideal gift for any new homeowner. The delicate, one-of-a-kind glasses are elegant and chic, and their stripes, dots, and swirls are fun and lighthearted. More importantly, the lack of color makes them versatile, and in terms of style, they'd work as well in a country cottage as an urban loft.
