When it comes to ice cream flavors, I tend to switch favorites often. One flavor that has remained a constant go-to for years is Ben and Jerry’s Cherry Garcia. The chocolate, cherry, and almond combination always hits the spot and unlike some other brands, they always come through with consistently big chunks of cherries and chocolate.

While it’s fun to have ice cream or a milkshake in the morning, smoothies definitely feel much better in my body. I made this Cherry Garcia smoothie to provide the same big flavor and creamy texture with more sustainable nutrients to power my day…

Palomas are my all time favorite summer drink. Although I prefer them best beside a taco, they are the perfect outdoor patio/sip by the pool/enjoy any time of year cocktail as well. I even had a rosemary paloma as my signature drink at my wedding! I couldn’t wait to share it with my guests, and now I can share it with you, too. They are so easy to make and are a delicious balance of refreshing lime, punchy grapefruit, and sweet aromatic rosemary. Cheers!

With August just around the corner (next week already?!) and temperatures reaching an unheard of 100 degrees in Portland, I thought I’d break out my favorite replenishing summer beverage.

Staying hydrated in the summer is hard, especially if you’re surrounded by soda or fruity cocktails during a fun afternoon at the beach or at a neighborhood barbecue. Consider bringing this recipe into the mix — a functional mocktail that satisfies that sweet iced drink craving while providing beneficial electrolytes and water.
