Thirsty Thursday - Cranberry Cocktail Spritzer

Nantucket is known for many things, beautiful shingle style homes, hydrangea covered lawns, cobblestone streets, whaling and cranberries to just name a few. Naturally this weeks cocktail had to be   inspired by these things as we are at the tail end of our vacation. What I love about this one is that the cranberry vodka has such great flavor by itself that the cocktail only needs a splash of cranberry juice for color and a little added flavor. It is a light, refreshing and all the ingredients are from New England, definitely my favorite cocktail when on this magical little island.  

Ingredients

1 oz Nantucket Triple 8 Cranberry Vodka

Splash of Nantucket Nectars Big Cranberry Juice

1/2 cup Poland Springs Lime Seltzer

Fresh Lime Wedge for garnish

Directions

Stir & Serve over ice

Cheers!

Moms are pretty special people and really deserve more than a day to be reminded just how wonderfully appreciated they are.

Make your moms desk pretty with a monogrammed note cards and some pretty pens in a shiny mint julep holder. You can even write her a personal note on the stationary to let her know just how much she means to you so each time she uses it she is reminded that she is appreciated. 

Who says tea parties have to stop when you are all grown up??? I personally love a high tea, especially when bubbly is involved and what is more special then making a sophisticated tea party for you and your mama, especially when she can keep the set!

I don't know a woman out there who doesn't appreciate some new jewelry for any occasion. I love the idea of giving the jewelry along with a stylish holder to have your gift stand out amongst the others.

Go halfsies with your gift giving and pick out a little something like a fabulous clutch filled with moms favorite beauty products and a personalized compact and a gift card to her favorite store so she can go shopping!

Perfume is always a favorite standby for any woman. Instead of buying the pre-packaged sets with little style or thought create your own little package of moms favorites.
