There isn't anything quite as refreshing as an aperol spritz in the summertime, especially in the NYC heat Augusta and I are experiencing. An aperol spritz is an Italian cocktail that typically consists of prosecco, aperol, and soda water. Every "summer Friday," as we like to call it, we like to try some place new to get fancy cocktails! Most recently on our Summer Friday adventure we did get an aperol spritz to celebrate the weekend ahead. We thought it would be a nice chang

The months leading up to summer are really flying by! We truly can't believe it's about to be Memorial Day weekend. But we don't mind at all that the summer months are practically here. To us, the summer means there are more hours with sunlight and more time for happy hours! To celebrate the holiday, we wanted to highlight cocktail recipes that we can't wait to try this Summer '19. We may not make it to the beach as often as we'd like, but we can pretend we are a tropical get

Nothing says grown-up Halloween quite like spooky cocktails. It's totally okay to keep dressing up and get all into the Halloween mindset even past your trick or treating days. As an adult the best way to get into the festivities is to serve Halloween inspired cocktails at your party or even just to accompany your candy and "Hocus Pocus" screening. No tricks in this post. Only treats! We think we have all of the Halloween bases covered too. There are vampires, witches, and go

We love rosé any time of the year. But there is something about summer nights that really make rosé refreshing. You can drink this pink wine as is or mix it up and make a cocktail with it. Bottom line, there is really no wrong way to drink rosé. Rosé is a pink wine. The color comes from the color of the grape skin, but it's not enough to classify itself as a red wine. But that is a-okay with us. (Especially Darby, her fave color is pink). It's a perfecting pairing to if you w

Yay! The Labels and Lacquer girls couldn't be more thrilled that spring is coming so so soon! Time to start shedding our winter coats and adding more florals and lightweight sweaters to our wardrobes. To celebrate this exciting seasonal change, on March 20th, we wanted to do a round-up of spring inspired cocktails and snacks to share with all your best girl friends! Right off the bat we were thinking about fruity cocktails and any drink including flowers. All the fresh blooms

Photo via: Instagram It's time for the most magical time of the year! We truly love the holidays and how close the holidays are back to back. That means, even more time for friends and family. Sometimes you have to go all year without seeing certain family members or friends from childhood, etc. So it's important to make the most of the time spent together! We were thinking if you are headed home for the holidays or traveling it would be fun to have a Holiday themed slumber p

Happy National Daiquiri Day!! We were unaware of this glorious holiday until yesterday but July 19th is officially National Daiquiri Day! Thankfully, we whipped up this blog post just in time. Because even if you don't have all these ingredients on hand, it is well worth a quick trip to the grocery store to gather all the supplies. When we were younger our mom would order us virgin strawberry daiquiris at every restaurant we went to. It kept us busy and we wouldn't constantly

It's pretty crazy that this time last year Augusta and I were flying to Hong Kong. This year during spring break we really just want to kick back, relax, and enjoy the warm weather. With spring being right around the corner that means cooler weather will start to fade. Bring on the pool days, please and thank you! With the warmer days ahead, all you really need is a cocktail in hand. Springtime often symbolizes rebirth, so taking a second to enjoy a fruity cocktail is just wh

One of my favorite things to do for L and L is to write about bubble baths. On almost every occasion I find a way to relate it back to bubble baths. Christmas time, summertime... yep there are bath posts on labelsandlacquer.com about it. This time I was inspired to write about cocktails to match your bath of choice. In a way to find out What kind of bubble bather are you, if you will. Do you like your bath to be about fun scents or more about just relaxing with simple scents.

Image via: Camille Styles The weekend is finally here! Whoo hoo! Time to get some major relaxing in, before the busy work week starts again. Enough talking about what’s to come on Monday, we want to celebrate this Friday-Sunday! Invite all your girls over and throw a little pajama party! We are never too old for a little pajama party. Now that we are officially adults- the best addition to a sleepover is fun cocktails. We did some Pinterest searching to find the drinks that w
