Last week I felt like I was living in Antarctica. Alexa told me it was currently 6 degrees and the high for the day would be 11. I came very close to throwing my pillow at her and telling her to get out of my house. It was one of those days when you feel like you can never get warm, so what did I do? I turned to food. Nothing like a hot bowl of tomato soup to warm you right up! 

Thanksgiving is only a week away, which means food, drinks, food, and more food. With the abundance of all this grub comes the highly anticipated leftovers (moist maker anyone?) Of course, there is the standard turkey soup, or the classic potato chip mashed potato sandwich...(wait, am I the only one who does that?) But this year, I wanted to come up with something that was easy, and that had different flavors from your traditional Thanksgiving dinner. 

Fall has finally arrived, which means its the perfect time for everything apples! ( Sorry pumpkin spice... we're over you.) If you're in the mood for a delicious fall cocktail, then here's a recipe for you!

I recently went back to La La Land for a few days, and I would be lying if I said I didn't miss it a little bit. (maybe more) I mean concerts, store openings, and catching up with friends over rooftop bottles of Rose is tough, but I think if I had to, I could do it professionally. (anyone hiring?)  

To make sure these morning concoctions taste as good as they look, I decided to have my own mimosa tasting. I enlisted the help of some of my elves to do all of the “hard” work for you. We made and taste tested these six mimosas and jotted down our thoughts.

The Top Shelf Elf is the perfect drink to serve at your holiday cocktail party! It's easy, refreshing and very flavorful. Just make sure to pace yourself, or that elf on the shelf won't be the only one hanging from the ceiling in the morning.
