Sunday brunch has become a bit of a tradition for me and my love, at least on those occasional Sundays that we haven’t managed to over-schedule ourselves.  And I’ll admit, we usually enjoy partaking in one or two brunch-appropriate cocktails as a way to celebrate a rare, relaxing Sunday.  I should also mention that I’m always looking for new ways to use up any leftovers we have in the fridge (you can ask Mike how grumpy I get when I have to throw out food that has gone bad!)  So this Sunday, while whipping up a tasty spinach, tomato, and mozzarella omelet, I took a little shopping trip through our fridge to see what kind of cocktail I could create.  I was happy to find that we still had some watermelon juice from a recent barbecue as well as a container of orange juice, and I had a feeling the gin and lemon vodka we had in the liquor cabinet would be a perfect complement to the fruit juices.  The “morning sunrise” part was a happy accident.  Once I poured the watermelon juice into the glass and topped it with the orange juice, gin, and vodka, I noticed the layers.  Since it was Sunday morning (and since I missed the actual sunrise, not that I ever see it), it was an obvious moniker for this tasty beverage.  I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!

A perfect and refreshing cocktail for your next Sunday brunch!
Author: Taylor
Recipe type: Drinks
Ingredients
  • Watermelon Juice
  • Orange Juice (no pulp)
  • Gin
  • Lemon Vodka
Instructions
  1. Pour equal parts watermelon juice and orange juice in a glass with ice (I used a little less than ½ cup of each juice in a tall glass).
  2. Top with one part gin and ½ part lemon vodka (I used one shot of Bombay Sapphire and a half shot of Smirnoff's new lemon sorbet vodka).
  3. Admire your work, stir, and enjoy!
"Taylor" It
  1. I had some leftover watermelon juice sitting around after a recent barbecue. All I did to make it was cube up some watermelon, throw it in the blender for a minute or so, and then strain it through a fine mesh sieve.

👋 Hi my name is Taylor and food is my love lang 👋 Hi my name is Taylor and food is my love language!❤️👩🏻‍🍳✨

Seems like a great time to introduce myself, now that I’m trying to get the next iteration of @foodtaylormade up & running.

👩🏻‍🍳🥳 I’m a home chef and I love cooking, baking, entertaining, and celebrating life’s big & small moments.

✨❤️ I’m a glass half full, always finding the silver lining kind of girl.

🌟 I believe there’s good in everyone, even if an ugly heart prevents them from sharing it with the world (in which case, karma will handle it 😉)!

What’s next? Stay tuned! But in the meantime…

Good morning, Woodland! I have 10 bottles of my *d Good morning, Woodland! I have 10 bottles of my *delicious* elderberry syrup ready to boost your immunity just in time for Christmas! Loved by adults AND kids over 1yo, a dose of elderberry syrup is a great way to start your day.

**Comment below to order. First come, first served. Must be able to collect by Tuesday.**😁🌿

Syrup comes in 16oz jars. Price is $22 OR you can trade in a 16oz glass jar/bottle (with lid) for $2 off, bringing your price down to $20. If you’ve bought from me before, 

Ingredients include:
Wildcrafted elderberries, organic cinnamon stick, whole star anise, orange juice, organic whole cloves, fresh ginger, organic rose hips, organic echinacea, and local raw honey.

The addition of ginger, rose hips, and echinacea help with prevention and lung support. Local raw honey offers relief from local allergens.😊

❤️ 👩🏻‍🍳 ✨
