4. Invent a brightly colored cocktail.
When was the last time you experimented in the kitchen? Maybe not since you were a kid? Going rogue with grandma’s recipe—or even more simply, inventing an end-of-week aperitif—can be a fun, creative (and delicious!) way to unwind. We suggest you raid your cupboards, then come up with a relaxing, resort-sounding name for your invention, like Jacuzzi in My Shoesies or Desert Away-sis to help hit the right spot.
Here’s one cocktail idea that infuses herbal tea with Grand Marnier and Blue Curacao to help you get inspired. Take a few sips of Wild Blueberry Delight and start mixologizing!
Wild Blueberry Delight
Ingredients:
2 cups water
