Five Kitchen Loves for Friday

One. This mint basil soy candle is happily lit on my kitchen counter. The scent is light, slightly minty and kissed with basil.
Two. Amy tweeted a picture of this coffee months ago and if it weren't for the bright yellow, I would have never recognized it on the top shelf in the coffee aisle of my grocery store. In her words, it's like "a hug in a cup". I second that motion. Best. Coffee. Ever.
Three. It seems that mojitos and margaritas have become our official summertime drink, and my, has this little guy has come in handy! I have tried every juicer on the planet and this one seems to squeeze out every last bit.
Four. Looking for a new Aperitif to add to your happy hour resume? My dad introduced me to this during their visit last month and now I am madly in love. Sweet, smooth and slightly bitter, Cinzano Bianco is an Italian sweet vermouth that when served over ice, is sure to make you smile once it hits your lips.

Five. And since we are on the subject of happy hour, this is what happy hour looked like three weeks ago. I love these sisters of mine so much!



Have a lovely weekend!
