Cocktail Alert: Bride of Frankenstein Martini

Halloween cocktails are always so fun and creative. I just tried out this delish vodka martini and, as if you didn’t already need a reason to drink, (BELVEDERE)^RED(i.e. the vodka to use) donates 50% of the profits of sale benefit HIV/AIDS programs in Africa. Here’s how to create the cocktail at home:

INGREDIENTS

50ml (BELVEDERE)^RED
12.5ml Honey water
Dash lemon juice
Fresh sage leaves
25ml pressed apple juice
Dash of Sauvignon Blanc white wine

INSTRUCTIONS

Muddle green grapes with honey water
Add rest of ingredients, shake and fine strain into a chilled martini glass
Garnish with grapes

The Monday Rundown

Pier 1 Tierdrop Glass Vases: I’m loving these silver vases. They’re super modern and chic. Enough said.

J. Crew Zigzag Sequin Tee: I literally just tried this top on in J. Crew in size XS. It fit but didn’t look good…I had the salesperson look up all the size smalls in the LA area and she could only come up with one store, in the valley. Grab this up in your size ASAP before they’re all sold out. Obsessed.

Belvedere Pink Grapefruit vodka: I love Belvedere vodka and I LOVE grapefruit. What’s not to like here?

Slatkin & Co. “Suntan” candle: A candle that smells like heaven is super rare and I looooove this summer “suntan” scent.

Cocktail Alert: Belvedere Vodka Cookies n’ Cream Milkshake

Cookies n’ cream is hands down my absolute favorite ice cream and since Belvedere is one of my favorite vodkas, I honestly can’t think of anything better than this recipe.

1.5 oz. Belvedere vodka
2 Oreo cookies
0.5 oz. coffee liqueur
1.5 oz. milk
1 scoop vanilla ice cream
Blend with a scoop of crushed ice and pour into a milkshake glass

YUM.

Belve Music Lounge Party at Coachella

So this past weekend I attended Belvedere Vodka’s Belve Music Lounge party in honor of Coachella weekend! As I’m sure you know, Belvedere is one of my favorite vodkas and so naturally, I was thrilled to receive the invite. The lounge was held at a private estate about 5 minutes from the Coachella festival and my friends and I hung out by the pool and sipped on some specialty Belvedere Coachella-inspired cocktails– my favorite was the Belve Beat! (check HERE for all of the recipes).

Belvedere vodka at Coachella!

So last year I had my first Coachella experience and loved it but alas, even though Coachella is next weekend (!), I’m still not sure if I’m going or not, haha. All that aside, I got the inside scoop on the exclusive Belve Music Lounge, hosted at a private estate in Palm Springs. This way, even if I don’t end up going, I can at least drink like I’m there.
