Polar Ice VodkaGive thanks to our Eastern European friends who brought us vodka, derived from the Slavic word for water, and the drink of choice in the eastern block. History isn’t clear on the original source country of vodka, but its popularity reigns throughout the vodka belt - Eastern Europe and Scandinavia (who are also the largest global consumers of vodka).

MARTINI Extra DryThe days are unfortunately becoming cooler and we’ll soon be wearing our chunky sweaters. Our friends at MARTINI want to help us ease into fall, and what better way to do this than with a delicious cocktail…or two.

The Harvest Sipper is an extremely tasty little beverage, full of fall flavours and perfect for sipping whilst curled up in front of the fireplace.

Ingredients:
1 oz. MARTINI Extra Dry
2 oz. cranberry juice
2 oz. fresh (cloudy) apple juice

Fill a tall glass with ice. Add MARTINI Extra Dry and top with cranberry and apple juices. Garnish with a crisp apple slice.

Farewell summer. Hello fall.

Cup CoutureWe adore our scrumptious Starbucks grande, extra-hot, hazelnut latte. It’s such a lovely treat. When we have one in our hand, we feel that all is good in the world. Although, when our hand begins to burn and go numb from the extra hot temperature we aren’t so thrilled. OUCH!

Now we don’t need to feel the burn as we have a cupcoat from Cup Couture. These eco-chic alternatives to the usual, ugly cardboard sleeve are designed using a dual-core thermal barrier, which protect your hands from the high temperatures of your favourite bevvies. And, not only do they protect but they are designed to be used over and over – just fold flat once your have finished your beverage and pop into your purse, until your next coffee break.

Add a dash of fashion to your morning routine.
