Today I’m sharing my top 3 spots to buy #homedecor and items for #homeentertaining.⁣
⁣
• this is probably no surprise, but @homegoods is top on my list. I always find chic and reasonably priced options such as the huge champagne bucket from my photo earlier in the week.⁣
⁣
• @cb2 - I love their selection of glassware and barware. Think fun cocktail swizzles and glass containers to hold bitters and other cocktail making essentials. ⁣
⁣
• believe it or not, @amazon has become a staple. I’ve found glitter candles and the marble coasters pictured in this photo among many other items.⁣

Who’s ready for the weekend? For those of you entertaining or if you’re just ready for a strong #cocktail, here’s a great fall #recipe for a cherry old fashioned. Make sure to garnish with classic Luxardo maraschino cherries. ⁣
⁣
Ingredients⁣
• 2 ounces bourbon (I like four roses) ⁣
• 2 dashes Angostura bitters⁣
• 1/2 ounce cherry juice⁣
• 1/2-1 tsp (roughly) simple syrup, I don't like my Old Fashioned cocktails very sweet so I err on the side of less here⁣
• 3 Luxardo maraschino cherries, for garnish ⁣
⁣
⁣
• Add about 1/2 to 1 teaspoon of simple syrup and 2 dashes of Angostura bitters to a chilled Old Fashioned glass. If you don't want to make simple syrup, you could muddle a sugar cube with the bitters and a bar spoon of water.⁣
• Next, add the cherry juice and bourbon. I like Four Roses Small Batch bourbon. Old Fashioned cocktails can be made with either bourbon or rye, so if you prefer rye, use that. I always go for bourbon.⁣
• Add in one large ice cube or two medium sized ones. Oxo has a great large ice cube tray - perfect for whiskey cocktails. ⁣
• Stir to chill the drink.⁣
• Place three Luxardo maraschino cherries on a cocktail pik and garnish the drink.⁣

Bar cart styling tip: find pretty bottles to store bitters for #cocktail making. I found this one at @cb2 last year. What’s your #fall cocktail of choice? Mine is an old fashioned made with bourbon. #livewellmodernly
