Cheers!

Being pregnant has us missing our wine and cocktails but not to worry as we recently discovered our newest favorite mocktail EVER! When we stayed at Los Poblanos Historic Inn & Organic Farm in Albuquerque they made us a mocktail version of their refreshing and perfectly balanced Lavender Margarita and you can find both the cocktail and mocktail version here.
