Tipsy Tuesdays: Gadgets

Tuesdays; the first real day of the work week and potentially the first that makes you realize the weekend is still so far away. 

Putting the Bubbly in Books&Bubbly, each Tuesday will focus on the tipsy side of things whether it be a cocktail recipe, tool or fun fact to make you more savvy around the libations.

We start off our series with a non-alcoholic treat yet a necessary pairing when it comes to reading: tea. 

Nothing goes together better than a good book and warm mug of tea. 

Novel Teas feature quotes from your favorite novels and the authors who wrote them. 

What's your favorite tea to enjoy with a good read? 

Tipsy Tuesdays: Low-Cal Cocktails

January is synonymous with optimism, goals and motivation. Some (including myself) are resolving to eat healthier and lose unwanted weight.

Check out some tips on choosing  low calorie options to enjoy sparingly during your weight loss journey.

FIRST

Choose a liquor that is clear and not infused with sugar. In other words, veer clear from rum but sticking to Vodka or Gin works well.

NEXT

add a mixer that is not loaded with sugary syrups. If you are at a bar or restaurant, ask for soda water. At home, you have a better selection of choosing an non-sugary mixer such as St. Croix sparkling water.

FINALLY

Add some garnish! Muddle in some cucumber and mint or add plenty of lime.


Also, is it just me or is that Shakira/Rhianna colab a surefire song to get you dancing? I love it.



My preferred low-cal option while dieting is Vodka+Soda water or regular water + LOTS of limes. 
What's yours?
