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

The Labels and Lacquer girls recently got to spend the weekend together. It was filled with girl talk, drinking coffee, and going to our fave restaurants. One of the stops we made to refuel was a juice bar. There were so many choices there. Augusta ordered a juice called Blue Lagoon. Blue Lagoon contains lemon juice, lavender, filtered water, honey, E3 Live, peppermint oil. It was really good and who doesn't love that blue mermaid color. I chose to order Cinnamon Cashew milk.

Nothing screams "spring" quite like lavender. So, it's no surprise that we're ready to fully submerse ourselves in everything lavender — lavender essential oil, fresh lavender around the house, lavender candles and yes — lavender lattes! After we made lemon poppyseed pancakes for Easter (topped with lavender, of course) we haven't been able to shake our love for this herb, so we found a way to incorporate it with one of our other loves: coffee. So, if you're into the idea of

Hello, August! We love the month and it is Darby's birthday month (Yay!). But there is no denying that August can be quite unbearable at times! In preparation for the hotness that is upon us, we thought slushies could help. The slushies might not change the temperatures, but it will help keep you cool! We've had fun making drink posts all summer. But these will be extra cool with each recipe containing ice. Because let's face it there is no time to waste. It may be hot outsid

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

There’s nothing like a nice, cold beverage on a hot summer’s day. And nothing’s more hydrating than water — so you’re definitely going to want plenty of it on-hand. We realize it can get a little boring just drinking plain old water, and that’s why we’ve rounded up some different recipes for infusing some natural flavor into your water. Think about how refreshing a cucumber and strawberry mixture would be! These flavors are bound to make sipping on the recommended eight glass

So it's not officially summer yet. But everyone knows that basically after Memorial Day, summer has started! The other day when Augusta was in town we were able to spend most of our day by the pool. We laid out and even had to get in the water because it was so hot. We haven't had time with our busy schedules to just get some sun by a pool in a long time. We absolutely loved it! At one point I looked at Augusta and said, "All we need now are some piña coladas!" And she got up

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

Now that both of the Labels & Lacquer are officially 21, we’re ready to party it up this New Year’s Eve. In the spirit of ringing in 2017, champagne will be flowing! And in case you’re looking for the perfect cocktail to end this year (and start the next) with a bang, here’s a list of cocktail recipes that we think will do just the trick. Of course, plain champagne is always an option, but it could be nice to mix it up and add some fruity flavor to your beverage. The tastier

It's time to cherish the holiday season. And yes that means down to each sip from your Christmas inspired latte. We like to start almost everyday with a nice cup of coffee. Now you can spice up your morning during the best time of the year with Christmas flavors. You can choose which flavor will suit your festive day best- is it gingerbread? Or eggnog? Whatever your preference is, the L & L girls have found 5 lattes that we think you're going to love! Keep reading to have a C
