Jolly Rancher Martini

This Jolly Rancher Martini was crafted as a part of a sponsored post for Socialstars and Sweet’N Low…..but my obsession with making it AGAIN and AGAIN? All mine! #donthesitasteThis jolly rancher martini is the perfect Halloween cocktail!Now that October is in full swing, I'm gearing up for Halloween.  And what better way to get into the Halloween spirit than with Halloween cocktails?  Parents have to have some fun too after trick-or-treating! A few of our friends will be coming over to trick or treat this year, so I've been experimenting with fun cocktail recipes…..and one of my absolute favorites? A jolly rancher martini!  This sweet cocktail is an ode to one of my favorite treats…..it's delicious and super easy to make (plus it looks amazing)!

Word to the wise, I was concerned about this drink being REALLY sugary.  So, I used Sweet N'Low to make the simple syrup.  It's perfect, it gave me the perfect consistency without adding anymore sugar.

The way I laughed out loud when I spotted this lit The way I laughed out loud when I spotted this little area during our day at Knott’s Berry Farm……. (teachers, you get it right?!?)I mean, HAD TO TAKE A PHOTO (or 20). This weekend was the start of Peanuts Celebration at Knott’s Berry Farm and we spent a day immersed in all things Snoopy.  From the rides in Camp Snoopy to the adorable new shows to the ACTUAL PIGS in Pigpen’s Pig Pen there was so much to do…..I’m so glad that Knott’s invited us to check it all out!Now, who is YOUR favorite Peanuts character?

Yesterday was filled with friends and food and fun and feet (sore ones after walking around from dawn to way past dusk)…….and as Lydia and I tucked ourselves into bed last night……I felt so much gratitude.  Our happy place has brought so much joy into our lives and so many people that enrich each moment.⠀⠀✨The Disney 100 Celebration will be happening ALL YEAR, and I feel like we still have so much to see and do.⠀⠀💜Favorite Moments and Experiences from our day one of Disney 100:⠀🚂riding Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railroad: I avoided ALLLLLL spoilers (there are some in this carousel btw), and had seen NONE of the attraction until we stepped into the queue…. it was absolutely adorable and I can’t WAIT to ride it again, plus when we exited the ride…..some of the team that created it were at the exit and seeing their smiles? ABSOLUTE DISNEY MAGIC.⠀🌅seeing the sun rise over the castle bright and early⠀💕running into friends every 5 minutes, it felt like a giant reunion⠀👗characters in their costumes, not going to lie….we didn’t wait in lines for them….they were length, but we gave a wave as we walked by and they looked stunning⠀⠀✨When is your next Disney trip???
