I’m going to save your life with Lime Margarita Freezies. Yes. These are just like Mr. Freezies, but with margaritas inside of them. (Yes. Tequila is included.) Margaritas are awesome, but you know what sucks? Making margaritas. I know; it’s not rocket surgery. But keeping around the materials, to have ice on hand, to whip …
If you’re hot, and if you like fudgsicles or iced caps, then I’ve got just the thing for you: My adult-only Mocha Baileys Fudge Pop Recipe. This poor little bottle of Baileys I had was sitting all forlorn like in my liquor cabinet. Usually it’s waiting for winter because the only thing I ever tend to …

If you’re new to the drinks world — or not Canadian — a standard Caesar is made with vodka, clamato juice, hot sauce, and Worcestershire sauce …
Over on the home blog, Instant Chai Latte Powder is doing pretty well, mostly thanks to the pinning powers of some of my colleagues here! So naturally, it seemed only fair that I return the favour, and what better way to do that than with the follow-up concept that one of my local friends has …
