Happy Hour 🍹

By Bessie&Co.

🥂 Southern-inspired cocktails + bar tools that make every pour feel special 🤍

It’s National Margarita Day and I realized I’ve been making my favorite margaritas on repeat… but never had them all in one place 🍹

From juicy Peach 🍑 to fresh Cucumber 🥒, bold Cherry Lime 🍒 and cozy Apple Cider 🍎 — these are the ones I come back to all year long. You know tequila is my jam 😉

Sharing my go-to cocktail making essentials here — my trusty mason jars for shaking, a good strainer, an electric citrus juicer when I’m making big batches, and a few cute barware pieces I love having out when we’re hosting.

Just what I use right here in my Georgia kitchen 🤍

Salt or Tajín?

Affordable NYE Bubbles 🍾✨

New Year’s Eve is almost here — and you don’t have to spend a fortune for something fun and festive to pop! 🥂

I walked through my local grocery store and picked out a few budget-friendly Champagne / Prosecco / sparkling wine options that taste great, look pretty on a bar cart, and won’t break the bank.

Save this for your next celebration! 🎉👇

⸻

🥂 My affordable picks:

Navigator Brut (France)
Dry, crisp, very “Champagne-style” without the Champagne price tag.

Ventriloquist Sparkling Wine (California)
Smooth, easy-drinking, great for parties or mimosas.

Riondo Prosecco (Italy)
Light, bubbly, slightly fruity — perfect for spritzes.

Ruffino Prosecco Rosé
Pretty pink, refreshing, and crowd-pleasing.

Chandon Brut (California)
A step up in flavor, still very affordable for special occasions.

⸻

Whether you’re hosting a party or ringing in the new year at home — there’s something here for every budget.

Italicus NYE Cocktails 🎆🍸

I bought this bottle solely because of the color… and now it might be my new favorite liqueur. 🤍
If Aperol had a sophisticated Italian cousin, it would be Italicus — light, citrusy, floral and SO perfect for New Year’s Eve cocktails.

Today I’m sharing two easy options — one bubbly + light, one a little more fancy. Save these for NYE! ✨👇

⸻

🍊 ITALICUS SPRITZ

Light, refreshing, not too sweet
   •   2 oz Italicus
   •   3–4 oz prosecco
   •   Splash Topo Chico or soda water
   •   Garnish: citrus slice (or an olive — surprisingly delicious!)

Pour over ice in a big wine glass and enjoy.

⸻

🥂 BERGAMOT FRENCH 75

A pretty twist on a classic
   •   1 oz gin
   •   1 oz Italicus
   •   ½ oz fresh lemon juice
   •   Top with prosecco or champagne
   •   Lemon twist

Shake gin, Italicus + lemon with ice, strain into a coupe or flute, and top with bubbles.

⸻

I’m officially team Italicus now — so glad I brought this pretty bottle home when I was shopping for the bar cart. 🥰

Holiday bar cart tip: choose liquor bottles that look as good as they taste 😂✨
I picked these because they fit perfectly with my Christmas décor — and ended up finding a few new favorites along the way.

Here’s what I’m loving right now:
• Mozart Chocolate Strawberry Cream Liqueur — festive and SO fun for holiday cocktails
• Italicus Bergamotto Liqueur — light, citrusy, beautiful bottle
• Humanos Blanco Tequila — quickly becoming my new favorite tequila (using it in my Cranberry Sage Margarita dropping this week!)

Linked all the bottles below if you want to stock your bar with some pretty (and delicious) holiday finds. 🍸🎄

My go-to holiday cocktail for any holiday party — creamy, cozy, and tastes like Christmas in a glass.

A few notes from my kitchen:
• Pop your martini glasses in the freezer with a little ice while you prep — makes such a difference.
• A mason jar beats the pretty cocktail shaker every single time at my house. Save the pretty one for your Christmas decor and shake it up Southern-style.
• My gingerbread syrup + my favorite barware (including the mason jar!) are all linked.

⸻

• 1½ oz vodka

Big Batch — 10 servings:

✨ Cocktail prep is the new meal prep! 🍸
This big-batch Cherry Lime Margarita recipe is perfect for make-ahead moments — whether you’re hosting a holiday party, hopping on a virtual happy hour, or just hanging on the porch when the craving hits.

I used my favorite electric citrus juicer (a must-have for batching fresh lime juice), 1/2-gallon mason jars to shake and store, pint-size jars for serving, and a canning funnel to keep the pour mess-free.

🩵 Here’s the recipe:

→ Single Serve:
• 3 oz tequila
• 3 oz tart cherry juice
• 1 oz Cointreau
• 2 oz fresh lime juice
• Agave to taste

→ Big Batch (about 38 oz / serves 4):
• 12 oz tequila
• 12 oz tart cherry juice
• 4 oz Cointreau
• 8 oz fresh lime juice
• Agave to taste

Cheers to easy entertaining and holiday sippin’ season! 🍒💚
