✨ Cotton Candy Fizz ✨🍇

Light, citrusy, and softly sparkling with a hint of sweetness

Fun fact: Cotton candy grapes have a natural vanilla-like sweetness, which makes this drink taste almost like candy… but still refreshing ✨

My personal ratio ⬇️
2 oz Vodka
1 oz Fresh lemon juice
¾ oz Simple syrup
5–6 Cotton candy grapes (muddled)
Top with a splash of soda water

Shake everything (except soda) with ice, strain, then top with soda for that soft sparkle ✨

My grocery store was out of cotton candy grapes, so I used green grapes for this video.
It still works… but cotton candy grapes will taste so much better 😌

Bright. Juicy. Slightly nostalgic.

✨ Sip & Try: Embroidery (Part 2) ✨

Back for part 2… and already feeling a little more patient 🪡

Sipping: Strawberry Daiquiri 🍓 (fresh, bright, lightly tart)

My Personal Rating ⬇️
⏱ Time Spent: 1hr
🧠 Skill Level: Beginner (but improving)
😌 Relaxation Level: 8/10
🎉 Fun Level: 8/10
🎨 Creativity Level: 8/10
💸 Cost Worth It?: Yes
🔁 Would I Do It Again?: Yes

What I noticed this time:
Taking my time made everything smoother.
Less tangles, cleaner stitches, and a lot more enjoyable.
This time… I actually separated the thread properly 😅
Still learning, but it’s starting to feel natural.

See you in Part 3 ♡

Wanted to make a Strawberry Daiquiri 🍓
Grabbed GIN instead of rum and somehow made a whole mess. Today was clearly not the day 😅

When you’re the bartender and the customer,
you can’t really mess up. You just rename it 🍸

So this is now officially called:
The Strawberry Gimlet 🍓✨

Would I make it again?
Absolutely! It was delicious 💯

✨ Sip & Try: Embroidery (Part 1) ✨

It’s been about 20 years since I last did embroidery…so we’re calling this my beginner era 🪡

Sipping: Lychee Martini 🍸 (floral, juicy, lightly bright)

My Personal Rating ⬇️
⏱ Time Spent: 1hr
🧠 Skill Level: Beginner (relearning after 20 years)
😌 Relaxation Level: 9/10
🎉 Fun Level: 7/10
🎨 Creativity Level: 8/10
💸 Cost Worth It?: Yes
🔁 Would I Do It Again?: Yes — already planning Part 2
☁️ Who Is This For?: Anyone who wants a slow, mindful hobby

Lesson learned:
When separating embroidery thread, do it one strand at a time. I wasn’t patient and tried pulling a few at once and ended up with a tangled mess 😅

Embroidery quietly teaches patience.

See you in Part 2 ♡

🌸 Lychee Martini 🍸

Floral, lightly sweet, and bright with citrus ✨

Fun fact: Lychee is naturally fragrant and juicy-sweet, which makes it perfect for pairing with elderflower. It adds depth without overpowering the fruit.

My personal ratio ⬇️
2 oz Vodka
¼ oz Elderflower liqueur
1 oz Lychee syrup
¾ oz Fresh lemon juice

Shake well with ice and strain into a chilled glass 🍸

Soft. Juicy. Elegant. 🤍✨

😌 Relaxation Level: 8/10
🎉 Fun Level: 7/10
🎨 Creativity Level: 5/10 (guided but satisfying)
💸 Cost Worth It?: Yes

🌸 Soft Bloom 🌸

Low-ABV, floral, lightly sweet, and lifted with bubbles 🫧

Fun fact: Elderflower + lavender both sit in the floral family, but elderflower is fruity-light while lavender leans herbal 🌿
That’s why they balance each other so well.

My personal ratio ⬇️
½ oz Elderflower liqueur (@stgermaindrinks)
½ oz Lavender syrup (@collinschicago)
¾ oz Fresh lemon juice
Top with soda water

Soft. Bright. Effortless. 🤍✨ by @sip.and.try

✨ Lavender Gin Sour ✨

If you want something floral, fresh, and a little bit fancy without trying too hard 💜

Fun Fact: The Gin Sour dates back to the 1800s — part of the classic “sour” family (spirit + citrus + sugar). Lavender is a modern twist that adds a soft floral aroma without overpowering the drink 🌿

My personal ratio ⬇️
2oz Gin (@hendricksgin)
¾oz Fresh lemon juice
½oz Lavender syrup (@collinschicago)

Optional:
1 egg white or ¾oz aquafaba for that silky foam

✨Whiskey Sour✨

This is my go-to drink when I don’t know what to order off the menu 🥃

Fun Fact: The Whiskey Sour dates back to 1862. Sailors added lemon to their liquor to prevent scurvy 🍋

If your whiskey sour makes you squint… it’s not balanced 😌

My personal ratio ⬇️
2oz Whiskey (Old Forester 86)
¾oz Fresh lemon juice
¾oz Simple Syrup
