I create easy to make drinks, love finding new spirits all while sharing my take on sports I like.
Need a momentum swing during the game? Give this m Need a momentum swing during the game? Give this margarita a try! Picture this - your friends have just arrived to watch the game with you, food is ready and what about drinks? Well! I got you, just serve my ‘Game day Margarita’. Starting like a traditional marg (limes, agave and tequila), but inspired by a cadillac, all you need to impress guests it’s a nice float of Lambic beer instead of Grand Marnier. Hopefully this will bring some good luck to your team. Cheers! #cheerstotheweekend #margs #tequilatime #sportysips #drinksdrinksdrinks
Maybe the Grinch wouldn’t have been so grumpy if Maybe the Grinch wouldn’t have been so grumpy if someone woulda just made him a drink! 🍾🎄 So, I took the liberty of Grinching up a cocktail just for the green man himself. I present to you my twist on the Hugo Spritz, The Grinch’s Heart Spritz. ❤️💚 I transformed my elderflower liqueur with just a pinch of edible green glitter for the perfect Christmas color. He liked it so much you can even see that his heart grew 3 sizes again ✨and speaking of hearts, the heart you see here, it’s an actual ice cube, so when you’re ready to drink this up, just drop that in and your drink will be perfectly chilled! Quick, fun, easy and festive... mix one UP before your presents disappear UP the chimney 😜 ❇️Save this for when you’re rewatching How the Grinch stole Christmas ✨Let me know if you want to see how I made the heart ice cube 💚What else can I do for your holiday season? #grinchmas #spritztime #xmasgifts #drinksdrinksdrinks #bubbly #elderflower #partyvibes
‘Tis the season for festive cocktails, and the S ‘Tis the season for festive cocktails, and the Santa’s Hat Sour is here to bring some holiday cheer to your glass! This drink is as fun to make as it is to sip - it’s the perfect way to impress your guests or treat yourself.

You didn’t think I forgot about Santa, right? You didn’t think I forgot about Santa, right? This was supposed to be up yesterday but insta crashed so blame it on Meta 😜 ‘Santa’s Perfect Manhattan’ is as the name says perfect for those who enjoy a stiff drink but make it a tad bit sweet which is actually what the season calls for. You can easily swap in bourbon instead of rye if you’d prefer to not have that spicy kick (I won’t judge you I’ll actually join you 😜), but for Santa’s sake, cause I’m sure delivering all those gifts is stressful, I used the traditional spirit for this concoction. 🎅🎁 Leave this out instead of a glass of milk and this might put you back in the good list 😉 🎄Save this reel for your next holiday party ✨Let me know in the comments — what other seasonal cocktails would you love to see me create? 🎅🍹 Happy mixing! #santaclausiscomingtotown #ryewhiskey #christmasdrinks #holidaysarecoming
The @buffalobills took over SoFi but they didn’t The @buffalobills took over SoFi but they didn’t leave with the W! 🐏 What a shootout of a game I’m so glad I was there, surrounded by Bills fans hearing me scream when the time ticked 0:00, what a nice feeling that was after what they did to us back in 2022. 😘💋 All trolling aside, this game just solidified Allen’s run for the MVP, he has more rushing td’s then some well known hall of famers, he can’t be denied the title this year! I’m happy to report the new food items available at @sofistadium are vastly improved, so if you want to know more of what I did and got around there ask away! P.s.: The last slide is my favorite 🤩🫣🤣 The sweet taste of victory is ours and the tables have survived their stop in LA. Til next time, Mafia 😜 #buffalobills #larams #nflplayoffs #sportive #spiritedsportstalk
Rams fans, are we ready for… The Bills’ fans Rams fans, are we ready for… The Bills’ fans SoFi takeover? 😒 All jokes aside, Bills fans TRAVEL, last time they were in town to play the Rams what I mostly saw was a sea of Bills’ blue jerseys, and I’m focusing of this part because the score was not a good one for us. 🫣 Also, there’s nothing like a Bills tailgate, even with my Rams jersey on, I got offered so many beers, shots and food. I could’ve gotten to the stadium tipsy if I had said yes to everything 😜 So if you’re looking for something fun to do this Sunday that involves football but don’t want to drop $$ on tickets, go get your football fix at the Bills tailgate, you won’t regret it! 🏈 Let me know if there’s something you’d like for me to focus while I’m there! Whose house? Bills house this Sunday for sure 😩😳🙄 #buffalobills #rams #footballlove #nflhighlights #sportive Who do you have winning this Sunday?
‘Tis the season for festive sips! 🍹✨ Say ‘Tis the season for festive sips! 🍹✨ Say hello to the Mrs. Claus Spritz — a little bubbly, a little cran-peachy, and definitely festive! I know the focus is on the big guy with gifts for everyone but Mrs. Claus deserves a little of the spotlight as well. Even at the North Pole, it’s happy wife, happy life, and this Christmas concoction aims to please and maybe, just maybe, Santa will leave you a little some extra under the tree for being so thoughtful... because this drink is guaranteed to get you on the good list! 🎄Love this festive twist? Share it with your friends and spread the holiday cheer! 🤶Tag someone who needs to try the Mrs. Claus Spritz. 🥂 #spritztime #mrsclaus #bubbly #xmasgifts #drinksdrinksdrinks #thefeedfeed What would be a drink perfect for Santa?
How do the Chiefs keep doing this? Another great How do the Chiefs keep doing this? Another great NFL week is behind us and my hope that the Raiders could knock the Chiefs down a bit, didn’t come true. 🫣👿 Also, Allen just keep doing the most Allen things and making them work, freaking love it. Aaaand throwing for lots of yards and still losing is becoming a thing now, just ask Burrow, but this time it affected another QB! If you made this far, thanks again for letting me share my sports opinions, im still super self conscious while I’m trying to figure out this format, so any suggestions and ideas are greatly appreciated 🥰 Til next Tuesday talk 😎 #SpiritedSportsTalk #girlswholovesports #nflhighlights #chiefskingdom #billsmafia #sportsfan

Welcome to ‘Spirited Sports Talk’ It’s been Welcome to ‘Spirited Sports Talk’ It’s been a minute since I shared my sports opinions here, in longer form and I’ve been aching to do it again, so I’m declaring Tuesday our usual day to talk it all (sports) out! Honoring the ‘sports’ girl title of my brand, enjoy our first sporty talk. 🏈🏀🥊 🏈 Had to start by saying: Hey Ey Ey Eeey, the Bills ginalky dropped the Chiefs from their perfect pedestal this year, I know all the other teams’s fans are thanking us. Sorry Taylor’s bf’s team 🤗 🥊 Tyson vs Paul, if you watched it you know the streaming sucked but the fight sucked harder. We were for the most of us rooting for Tyson, but the whole thing was just horrible. I did however, liked the statement Mike posted afterwards and I agree with him, he was a winner in all of this. 🏀 I’m not a basketball fan but I can’t deny Lebron’s genius, what the man is doing at this level at his age is nothing short of phenomenal. Soooo, there we have it. I feel so weird and excited about posting my sports opinions here again. Anyways, thanks for coming to my sporty TED talk 🤣 I shall see y’all back here next Tuesday 🤗 ✨Share this with a friend who loves the Bills 🦬 ✨What else can I share with you about sports?! Let me know here #sportive #buffalobills #joshallen #miketyson #jakepaul #basketballseason #spiritedsportstalk Who’s the regular season favorite to win MVP after week 11?
🏈 Hear me out… If you’re hosting game day, 🏈 Hear me out… If you’re hosting game day, chances are you already have this ingredient on hand. Grab your vodka, ginger beer and lime juice and you’ll have ‘The Perfect GameDay Mule’. Okay, what ingredient am I talking about? Beer 🍺 You heard me right, the perfect way to bring an already beloved classic into the world of sports? Just add the most consumed beverage during sports games. A beer float in addition to ginger beer will tie everything together, making this mule sporty approved. To make this work, your beer will need to have a zing, so reach for a bigger bodied beer, like a hazy IPA. The peppery taste of ginger will still be present but in this sporty version of a mule, it’s gonna share the spotlight with beer when we top off the cocktail. And there you have it, an amazing, conversation starter option for a gameday cocktail! Cheers and may your fantasy football team have a great weekend 🏈 💫Follow for more sporty options for your cocktails 💫 Save this next time the big game is at your place ‘The Gameday Mule’ 2oz Vodka Add ginger beer to 1/3 of the glass 1oz fresh lime juice Top off with an hazy IPA It is important that the ingredients are added in this order otherwise, some will float to the top and flavors won’t blend well. If you want to have your mule taste more like beer, just cut down on some of the ginger beer. #moscowmule #sportysips #drinksofinstagram #collegegameday #sportive Would you give this mule a try?
Buzz into the hive of flavor with this ‘Bee’s Buzz into the hive of flavor with this ‘Bee’s Knees’ twist - it’s the bee-ginning of a hot honey, lavender love affair! 🐝🍯💛 This classic may have originated in Paris in the early 20’s, but prohibition in the U.S. made it a star. ⭐️ Honey and lemon covered the taste of cheap gin, and a strong pour numbed the sting of the depression. But this riff is no cover for discount spirits! With hot honey and lavender simple syrup, fresh lemon and crafted gin, each ingredient complements the next. The changes are subtle, but the flavors are NOT. Btw, if you want my recipe for the lavender simple, just let me know 😉 Variety may be the spice of life, but spice is the variety this classic needed! The lavender ties in perfectly with the citrus and the botanicals from the gin, and the heat is the chef’s kiss. And, what you end up with is a libation that is... well, as they used to say- “just the bees knees!” (Or in this case The Hot Honey Bees Knees😉🐝) 🍯Hot-Honey Lavender Bee’s Knees🍯 2oz Gin (I used @farmersgin - it has no additives 🤩🥰) 1oz Homemade Lavender simple syrup 1oz Fresh lemon juice Hot honey to taste (@mikeshothoney) Add all ingredients to a shaker, shake it with ice and strain it Garnish with lemon wheel and lavender pick 💫 Follow for more fall inspired drinks, coming soon 🌟 Wanna try my lavender simple syrup?! Let me know and I’ll send it to you ⭐️Save this for more honeylicious recipes #drinksofinstagram #hothoney #honeybees #gingin #lavenderfields #drinksdrinksdrinks #feedfeedcocktails

Another Friday another Sporty Sips episode for y’all. This one is a super easy party hack. By now we all have seen one or two videos with the viral can top opener, right? But something you may have missed are these cute Shirley temple cans from @7up, so I thought, let’s make it adult friendly and perfect to be served to guests with a sweet tooth 🍒 I paired the sugar free version with a sugar free strawberry and rose vodka by @smirnoff and the flavors complemented each other very well. Btw, you can use whichever vodka you have at home, that’s the beauty of this hack. This is a different way to make things interesting for your parties and once the drink is done, just toss it. No more having to clean up after your friends left. If you made it this far, thanks for joining me on another Sporty Sips episode. Any ideas or suggestions are so so welcomed. 🍒 Let me know what you’d like to see on Sporty Sips ✨Keep an eye out for new episodes every week #SportySips #dirtyshirley #shirleytemple #drinksofinstagram #kitchenhacks #feedfeedcocktails

🎃The final countdown for Halloween is here and 🎃The final countdown for Halloween is here and when the veil on earth is thinner than ever, and all the otherworldly creatures are around, my next drink seemed to be juuuuuust right. 👹 ‘Mojito Del Diablo’ 👹 I made this Halloween mojito twist with Colombian vodka my dear friend Maria brought me after she travelled back home and a little kick from fresh Fresno chiles, a perfect devilish take on this cocktail. If you were wondering if mojito could be made spooky enough to enjoy during Halloween, I think the little devil horns are the answer you need. P.s.: Let’s pretend I wanted to shoot the beginning of the video with the candles unlit and not that I completely forgot to light them, lol 🫣 Let’s enjoy the last days of spooky season ‘24 sipping on a refreshingly diabolical mojito. Cheers! #halloweenlife #mojitotime #cocktails🍹 #feedfeedcocktails #spookyart #drinksofinstagram

Don’t forget to let me know what I can make for you! 🥃🥂🍻 The Zamboni 2oz Bourbon .5oz lemon juice .5oz simple syrup 8 mint leaves Add everything to a shaker with ice, and strain over fresh ice.
