Surprise! I want to introduce new types of content to the blog and expand beyond fashion, so I am happy to finally share my first recipe post! Let me know what you all think of this, and I’ll see if this is a series I should continue!
It’s crazy to think about how this summer flew by. Can you all believe that Labor Day weekend is right around the corner? As we kiss summer goodbye, I had to share one of my go-to, refreshing drink recipes: the gin cooler. Not only is this drink easy to make, but it is incredibly budget-friendly as well! Try this recipe out for yourself this weekend, and don’t forget to share your results!
This little gem tastes just like lemonade. If you’re not the biggest fan of gin, the cucumber absorbs most of the taste of alcohol.

Notes:
Not a cucumber fan? Add mint instead!

![THE BEST PLACES TO CATCH SPRING BLOOMS IN @visitpasadena 🌸
After an extremely wet winter, I’m looking for all the spring blooms here in SoCal! Pasadena is only 20 minutes from Downtown Los Angeles, and is packed with some of the most stunning botanical gardens in the area — and definitely should be on your list to visit this spring!
Gardens to Visit in Pasadena This Spring (SAVE this post for later!)
🌸 @descansogardens — look out for Cherry Blossoms in their Japanese Garden, stroll through the Rose Garden and don’t miss the lilacs!
🌸 @nortonsimon — you could spend hours viewing the art here both indoors and outdoors in their Sculpture Garden
🌸 @arlingtonpasadena — a free, three-acre garden that’s home to an orange grove & Yoko Ono’s Wish Tree art installation
🌸 @thehuntingtonlibrary — you won’t want to miss their Cactus Garden, the Conservatory, the Japanese Garden, and the Chinese Garden
🌸 @langhampasadena — enjoy afternoon tea here & take a stroll through their Japanese Garden for Cherry Blossoms!
My fellow SoCal friends — anywhere else I should check out for spring blooms this year? Let me know! 📸 by @foodphotographer [ad]](https://www.aliciatenise.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)
Yum, so simple I love the Cucumber slice in there. I’ll have to give this a try!
I will try the same drink, except I would eliminate sugar and gin 🙂
