Everyone has been posting their holiday cocktails lately, making me thirsty ! If you know me, you know my love for espresso, so the espresso martini is one of my favorites, but what’s the history?? ☕️🍸: The espresso martini originated in the 1980s. Legend has it that it was created by London bartender Dick Bradsell, who invented the drink when a customer asked for a cocktail that would "wake me up and then fuck me up." The result was a blend of fresh espresso, vodka, coffee liqueur, and simple syrup, shaken with ice and strained into a martini glass. The combination of caffeine from the espresso and the kick of alcohol made it an instant hit. Over the years, the espresso martini has become a classic, enjoyed worldwide as a sophisticated and energizing cocktail. Cheers!!

I’ve quoted Mark Twain before, but do you know his connection to my home state of Missouri? Mark Twain, born Samuel Langhorne Clemens in 1835, spent a significant portion of his life in Missouri, a state that profoundly influenced his work. Growing up along the Mississippi River in Hannibal, Twain drew inspiration from the vibrant riverboat culture and the people he encountered. His experiences as a steamboat pilot and later as a miner during the Gold Rush shaped his understanding of American society. Twain's Missouri background is notably reflected in his literary masterpiece, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," which vividly captures the spirit of small-town life along the Mississippi. Additionally, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" explores the complex issues of racism and social injustice prevalent in pre-Civil War Missouri. Twain's sharp wit and keen observations, rooted in his Missouri upbringing, continue to make his works timeless reflections of American history and culture.

Building a fire is such a distinctly human ritual that I can’t help but obsess over. I’ve always loved the process of getting firewood, setting up the perfect log fort 🪵 to create the most brilliant flames that keep us warm. I love to keep my home warm and my loved ones comforted. That’s why I stay fanning the flames, in more ways than one. ❤️🔥

Caught reading at the bar again.. I put my books down to enjoy a fantastic local IPA on draft 🍺 As a German-American girl, beer is just part of my DNA… let’s go over a very quick little history of this delectable delight 🍻: Beer has a delicious history dating back thousands of years. Its origins can be traced to ancient civilizations, with evidence of beer production found in Mesopotamia around 5,000 BCE. Sumerians, Egyptians, and later cultures refined brewing techniques, often associating beer with religious rituals. In medieval Europe, monasteries played a pivotal role in brewing, perfecting recipes and introducing hops as a preservative. The Industrial Revolution brought significant advancements, enabling mass production. The 20th century saw a surge in beer diversity, with craft breweries challenging traditional styles. Today, beer is a global beverage with countless varieties, reflecting a fascinating journey of cultural and technological evolution.

Can you take enough pictures in front of the NYC skyline? Anytime I travel I make sure to observe the culture and learn some history about the area. The New York City skyline has a rich history of growth and change. Here's a brief overview for you! : Early Skyline: In the 19th century, lower Manhattan was dominated by low-rise buildings, and the skyline was characterized by church steeples and the spire of Trinity Church. Skyscraper Era: The late 19th and early 20th centuries marked the birth of the skyscraper. Iconic buildings like the Flatiron Building (1902) and Woolworth Building (1913) rose, setting the stage for taller structures. Empire State Building: The Empire State Building, completed in 1931, was a symbol of Art Deco architecture and held the title of the world's tallest building for 40 years. Post-War Boom: After World War II, New York's skyline saw substantial growth with the construction of buildings like the United Nations Headquarters and Lever House, embracing Modernist design. World Trade Center: The 1970s brought the iconic twin towers of the World Trade Center, which tragically fell on September 11, 2001, reshaping the skyline and leaving a profound impact on the city. Contemporary Skyscrapers: The 21st century has seen the construction of numerous impressive skyscrapers, such as One World Trade Center (Freedom Tower), 432 Park Avenue, and Hudson Yards, transforming the skyline further. Ongoing Evolution: New York City's skyline continues to evolve with ambitious architectural projects and sustainable building designs, reflecting the city's ever-changing identity. These shifts in the skyline capture the essence of NYC's growth, reflecting its architectural, cultural, and economic development over the years.
