Earlier this week, Kirsty and I shared our perfect Girlfriends Night-In, which includes small bites, bubbly refreshments, and manicures. Inspired by our the spa-like theme, we created a light, refreshing cocktail perfect for a girlie retreat; whether that be a night-in, brunch, or a mid-day cocktail (we’re not judging). It’s also delicious as a non-alcoholic drink!
Recipe:
- Muddle 2 ounces of gin with lime, jalapeño, and mint
- Pour over ice
- Add 4 ounces of Dry Sparkling ginger soda
- Garnish with a slice of cucumber and lime
A sampling of our non-alcoholic version.
Kirsty and I want share some of the love with our readers. Have you entered to win our GIVEAWAY? There are still 2 days left to enter to win a whole bevy of Julep beauty products for you and your bestie.
I initially was impressed with Julep’s long-lasting, beautiful array of nail polish colors. However, as a Julep Maven, I have had an opportunity to sample their entire line of cosmetics and skin care and, to say that I am impressed is an understatement! See Monday’s post for all of the entry details…it’s not to be missed!
