It’s true that being a great host can involve a lot of moving parts, but I’m a fan of making life MORE fun and LESS frantic whenever I can.
We recently had a little “Joeywarming Party” at Casa de Pepper (welcoming my little brother into our home and celebrating the new space that the 3 of us now share!), and Santa Margherita helped us make sure that all of the guests has something special to sip on.
Mr. Pepper and I are big fans of serving tasty, pre-mixed cocktails when we’re hosting a crowd, and keeping our hands free from playing bartender all night gives me a chance to hug and dance and have a great time at our own parties. ;)
Creating a simpler version of something seasonal can absolutely feel festive enough to skip a more complicated drink menu, and this Apple Ginger Fizz that Mr. Pepper and I mixed up was happily a big hit (Have I mentioned we love making things together?)
Apple Ginger Fizz:
+ 1 bottle of prosecco or sparkling white wine
+ 1 cup of ginger ale (we use sugar-free)
+ A splash of apple cider vinegar
Serve by stirring in a dollop of fresh apple puree, and garnish with an apple slice!
We also had plenty of Santa Margherita chianti on hand for those who prefer something a little darker (like me!), and everyone was SO generous in bringing along extras, that our barcart is practically stocked for the rest of the year!

Today, while I was at work, my cousin stole my iPad and
tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop,
just so she can be a youtube sensation. My
iPad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!

Hi! I have a pixie cut too and I was wondering if you could share how you styled your hair in that last frame? I can’t quite seem to master it yet! Thank you!
Ahhhh, to be honest, Sarah – I feel I’m still learning how to master it, myself! In these photos, it had air-dried the night before and because I don’t wash it more than once every few weeks, the product tends to make it easier to style over time. Usually just a spritz of water and scrunching/fluffing in the morning will do the trick. Ever since going this short I’ve been wishing that it had more texture, but it’s just so straight! Sorry to say that I don’t have more helpful tips, and good luck with your darling ‘do! XO
