Cherry French 75: My Diary of Us

Cherry French 75

Summer has arrived guys.  The heat is rising and it is HOT out there.  Our poor air conditioner hasn't been able to take a break and I wish I could tell it how much this pregnant lady appreciates being able to stay cool.  The thought of going to buy a baby pool to put on the back porch for me to sit in, maybe with ice surrounding me, is becoming more and more appealing with each passing day.  The only other thing that makes Summer more tolerable is a refreshing cocktail which is totally necessary in order to survive the heat.  I'll have to stick to mocktails for now, but for you...for you I bring you the cherry French 75!  Perfectly refreshing and summery, and sure to help you forget about your sweat drenched bra.

And don't pretend that you don't know about the sweat drenched bra.  It's a thing, and there isn't anything sexy about it.  For you guys who probably aren't wearing bras, I'm sure you can still relate!  Good thing for you if you are holding one of these cocktails, not only will you forget about your sweltering body, but others around you will too.

Plum and Thyme Prosecco Smash: My Diary of Us

Plum and Thyme Prosecco Smash

Clearly I have a thing with stone fruits right now.  Yesterday I hit you with my peach caprese salad and today I am hitting you with a cocktail featuring a friend of the peach, the plum.  I feel like plums sometimes get left out, or at least in our house they do.  I'm not sure why because when ripe they are sweet and juicy and I happen to be quite fond of them.  Is it because all of the other fruits at the market sit with more vibrant colors, obnoxiously calling out to me as I pass "pick me, pick me" and the plum sits quietly, patiently waiting for the right customer to know it's value?  Well whatever the case, I went for the plums this week and I think I'm going to continue to give them the attention they deserve.  My plum and thyme prosecco smash highlights these beauties in the best way and is the perfect drink to serve for brunch over the weekend!

One of the things I miss most about brunch on the weekends is a great cocktail.  It's such a treat isn't it?  To have that bloody mary or bubbly at 10 or 11 in the morning...just starts the day off right. I'll be fixing my plum and thyme smash with sparkling water while I serve the real deal to the hubs, but at least I won't feel so left out.  I know, small sacrifices for growing a human...
