Meet the French Blonde — the elegant, citrusy cocktail that’s rumored to be one of Taylor Swift’s favorites. 💋
Light, floral, and perfectly balanced… with a little twist. I swapped the traditional lemon bitters for orange bitters to add a slightly warmer citrus note — and it’s SO good.
Save this recipe for your next girls’ night 🥂
🍸 French Blonde (with an orange bitters twist)
• 2 oz gin @okanaganspirits
• ½ oz elderflower liqueur (St-Germain)
• 2 oz fresh grapefruit juice
• ½ oz Lillet Blanc
• 2 dashes orange bitters (instead of lemon bitters)
Shake well with ice until chilled.
Strain into a chilled coupe or martini glass.
Garnish with a lemon twist or fresh grapefruit peel.

Okay but WHY is this actually the best margarita I’ve ever made?! 😍🌴
We made these last weekend and my girlfriends said it was their favourite drink I’ve ever served… and honestly? They’re not wrong.
Creamy coconut, fresh citrus, a hint of orange liqueur, and that perfect salty finish — it’s giving vacation in a glass. ✨
You can shake it on ice for a smooth, refreshing margarita… or blend it into a frozen coconut dream. Either way, you will LOVE it.
In this video I used the Margarator and made a batch of 4 — just multiply the recipe below by 4 and add it to the blender portion to make four frozen coconut margaritas.

Cranberry Rosemary Margarita 🍹✨
This is hands down one of my favorite cocktails to batch for guests — especially for New Year’s 🥂
I made this on Christmas and it was a HUGE hit. Everyone loved it, and it made hosting so easy. I prepped everything in a pitcher ahead of time, then just poured over ice and topped with soda water for each guest. Effortless, festive, and so good 🤍
Perfect balance of tart cranberry, fresh lime, and cozy rosemary — highly recommend if you’re entertaining this holiday season 🎄✨
Batched Recipe (serves ~8):
• 12oz Tequila
• 4oz Cranberry Liqueur (@okanaganspirits )
• 4oz Orange Liqueur
• 4oz Rosemary Syrup (see below)
• 8oz Fresh Lime Juice
• 8oz Cold Water (for dilution)
Stir everything together in a pitcher and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Pour over ice and top with soda water.
Garnish with cranberries & a rosemary sprig 🌿
.
.
Rosemary Syrup
Boil equal parts water and sugar and gently stir to ensure all Sugar is dissolved. Add in 2-3 sprigs of rosemary and let it simmer for a couple minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Once it has completely cooled (about 1 hour) strain out the rosemary and store syrup in the fridge. This should last 1-2 weeks.
