Keeping Home in the City

Striving to keep a sustainable, healthy and resourceful home in NYC.

Sewing, Gardening, Cooking, Cleaning & Crafting

I’m a New Yorker. I love being out in the city, immersed in the hustle and bustle of daily life. But I long to retreat to a well kept, peaceful, and comfortable home.

This is how I keep my one bedroom home in NYC.

Absolut Watkins

It’s always exciting to find a product that boasts your name.  Imagine my excitement when I found the following at Duty Free in the Rome airport:

 

Absolut Watkins Vodka, a traveler’s exclusive.  I had to purchase it!

The taste is unique, spiced coffee, almond and chili.  It’s not so great on it’s own, but I’ve made good use of it in a few mixed drinks and cocktails!

Cinnamon Chic

  • 2 parts Absolut Watkins
  • 1 part lime juice
  • 1 part cinnamon syrup (make at home using equal parts water and sugar, a few dashes of cinnamon, boil on the stove until sugar dissolves)
