Cocktail Time! Watermelon Sangria
Friday is here and here’s a fruity and sunny drink to celebrate! One of the best sangrias, we’ve ever made…
Makes 1 pitcher
- 1 bottle of Spanish cava (or your favorite sparkling wine, Prosecco or Champagne)
- 2- 12 oz bottles of IZZE low-calorie watermelon soda
- 8 oz of Triple Sec
- 1 small seedless watermelon
Split the watermelon in half and using a melon baller, scoop out one half of the fruit into a pitcher. Carve out the pulp from the rest of the fruit, saving a couple of slices for garnish, and strain out as much water as possible (we used a very fine strainer). Add the water from the fruit to the pitcher with the rest of the ingredients. Let it rest in the refrigerator for an hour before serving to let the flavors come together. Salud!

Cocktail Time! The KITL (Kentucky Iced Tea Lemonade)
Summer has finally arrived and we’re celebrating the Memorial Day Weekend with a cocktail that is low-cal and super delicious! We’re making an iced tea/lemonade that packs a punch…we call it the KITL (like Skittles).
Makes 2 cocktails
- 4 oz of Marker’s Mark
- 2 oz of Grand Marnier
- 1 cup of Turkey Hill diet iced tea
- 1 cup of Tropicana Light Lemonade
- Lemons slices for garnish
Fill a couple of large glasses with ice and divide the ingredients into each of them, and stir. Garnish with a slice of lemon and enjoy! This is the perfect drink for a hot summer afternoon, a picnic or a BBQ. If you want to make a pitcher, just adjust the ingredients x4.

Deconstructing Glambert
The cover for Adam Lambert’s forthcoming album, For Your Entertainment, was just released.
I don’t know what I was expecting his album to look like, but I know I wasn’t expecting this. And honestly, I love it. It brought some big gay sunshine to an otherwise dreary mid-week.
Below are some inspirations that occurred to me right away. If you can think of any more, drop them in the comments!
