About Me

I'm an accomplished writer and photographer with a background in design and six years of experience in digital publishing. Beauty inspires me: words are what keep me going. 

Whether I'm capturing something with my camera or with the written word, I strive to draw out what is beautiful: the perfect lighting, the perfect angle, the story that no one else sees. I'm also very good at making drinks. Let's work together.

There's never been a better time to make cocktails at home. This is true, but also I really miss bars. I miss bars, and I particularly miss the Oaxaca Express from @lacontentanyc. It is, in my mind, the perfect margarita, bright and bold and full of
It's starting to feel like fall but sometimes, you just need a mojito. And sometimes, you need fresh mint and the fire escape garden provides. . MOJITO 8 mint leaves 1 oz simple syrup .75 oz fresh squeezed lime juice 2 oz white rum crushed ice seltze
File under 'weird but good' - this shrub cocktail brings a lot of unexpected flavors (pisco and... Corona??) into a strange but satisfying mix. It was created by Yann Daniel at Paris' Park Hyatt Vendome bar, and found in the appropriately named &quot
I'll always remember the summer of 2018 as the summer I discovered shrubs. A shrub, which is a mixture of fruit, sugar, and vinegar, can be very nice on its own, but it's also delicious in a cocktail. Particularly this one. . I've found that base spi
How long has it been since I posted a Chartreuse cocktail? I'm thinking way too damn long. So I bring you the Nuclear Daiquiri, which is... a daiquiri. With Chartreuse. It's a suprisingly good pairing. The Chartreuse gives the bright, summery daiquir
Well I keep seeing these ominous postings saying that summer is over, but I refuse to believe it. Also it was 90 degrees in New York today, so there's that. And the last time I went to the farmers market they had white peaches, the kind so juicy the
You might have noticed that I'm a little obsessed with Chartreuse. (Ok, maybe more than a little.) It smells a little bit like the mingling of dried herbs from my mother's spice cabinet, and a little like bit like a magical elixir from your wildest d
This is something of a first for the blog - a cocktail with no alcohol at all. That's right, it's my very first mocktail. . It all began when the good folks at @seedlipdrinks sent me a bottle of their Garden 108, a spirit that (like gin) is distilled
A very important thing happened to me in the summer of 2018: this is the summer that I discovered shrubs. A shrub, if you're unfamiliar, is a syrup made from fruit, sugar, and vinegar, and it is sweet and tart and a little strange and I am a little b
Throwback to the day I learned that @thelostladynyc has the best frozen margaritas and @kimberlyneer is the best hand model. . Frozen spiced hibiscus margarita: tequila, hibiscus, jalapeño, lime juice, agave & smoked chili salt. And they&r
This drink, from @anvilhouston's summer menu, is a creation of the very talented @drinkwench. It's utterly unlike any other gin cocktail I've ever had, and I've had a lot of gin cocktails. The grassy, nutty flavors meld beautifully and make for a rea
I'm in Texas at the moment, so a few days ago I paid a visit to the Anvil, where the lighting is always gorgeous and the drinks are always delicious. I spotted this mint julep variation on the menu and knew I had to order it, because the mint julep i
