A Sparkling Vermouth Cocktail with a Salty-Citrus Twist
Share with your friends! Pinterest LinkedIn Email Flipboard Reddit If you live for a bubbly aperitif come summertime, Nashville wine bar Pont Neuf has developed a sparkling Vermouth cocktail recipe you'll love. 'A Night in Paros' calls for only a handful of simple ingredients — vermouth blanc, sparkling wine, olive brine, club soda, and an olive-citrus garnish. No cocktail shaker or fussy techniques required. 'The inspiration behind the cocktail is from my favorite small island in Greece, Paros,' says Pont Neuf co-owner Mattie Bush-Martin. 'We chose to add olive and brine as a nod to the olive trees there and with the thought that the drink itself would pair well with any Mediterranean dish.' Kick off your next Mediterranean-inspired dinner party with a round of these, or make them the main attraction at happy hour, served with a spread of your favorite olives, sharp cheeses, charcuterie, and potato chips.

Look Inside This Effortlessly Chic Cape Haze Fishing Retreat
Share with your friends! Pinterest LinkedIn Email Flipboard Reddit Affectionately named 'The Salty Angler,' this Cape Haze, FL, retreat pays homage to the homeowner's passion for fishing — sans kitsch. No, you won't find any pastel Welcome to the Beach signage here. Instead, you'll find moody natural textures and tones, subtle nods to the coastal setting, and bright, breezy living spaces with ample natural light. Pin Florida interior designer Nicole Roe of R. Nickson Interiors transformed the outdated 1990s interior of this waterfront bungalow into a stylish escape. 'It had so much potential … great natural light, a killer location right on the water … but it was definitely stuck in another era,' says Nicole. 'You could see the bones were good; it just needed a major refresh to bring it into today's world and really make the most of those views.' The homeowner trusted Nicole's vision for 'a cool, unfussy place for him and his buddies to crash after a day of fishing,' and the result was an effortlessly stylish space that honors its setting without being overwhelmed by it.

It's so comfortable, very flattering, and oh-so chic! I recently wore it on a girls' trip and received so many compliments. I love that it can be dressed up or easily thrown on with a cute pair of sneakers.' — Caroline Neely, Account Executive Pin Miami Two-Strap Sandals 'Baby's first pair of Crocs! After tons of research, I decided to purchase these for a trip overseas with LOTS of rain in the forecast. These sandals saw me through every possible terrain, including a rocky beach. They're super comfortable and INCREDIBLY lightweight, so they're easy to pack — a total win for travel. I went for versatile black (as I tend to do), but there are several other fun colors to choose from. (Heads up: I was only able to find these online on the official Crocs website, and they took a few days to ship.)' — Alissa Harb, Managing Editor Pin Strawberries & Creme Vita Coco 'I've always been a Vita Coco fan because there's nothing quite like naturally hydrating coconut water. But my latest Costco discovery, Strawberries & Creme Vita Coco, just took things to a whole new level. It tastes like the Starbucks Pink Drink, only at a fraction of the price, and now I always have a few bottles chilling in my fridge.' — Robert Conklin, Digital Developer Pin Neutrogena Clear Face Sunscreen 'This face sunscreen from Neutrogena is my go-to. I use it daily, and I love it because it's lightweight and not too oily. Plus, the bottle is small enough to throw in my purse when I inevitably need to reapply throughout the day.' — Brianna Goebel, Sponsored Content Manager & Associate Editor Pin Men's Training Shorts 'For people who like the WHOOP band (which I also recommend!), I've been loving my new WHOOP shorts for summer.' — Jay Graves, COO Pin Gold Strappy Sandals 'These are my new favorite summer sandals! They're super comfy and match any dress, pair of jean shorts, or romper in your closet. Plus, they're under $50.' — Katelyn Caughron, Client Relations & Social Media Coordinator Pin Medina Market Basket 'The Medina Market Basket is glued to my side all summer long. Not only is it super cute, but it's durable and can tote around just about anything, thanks to its convenient size. I use it for beach days, picnics, boating, and any occasion where I need to toss a variety of miscellaneous things into a bag and call it a day!' — Kate Feinberg, Associate Editor & Sponsored Content Specialist Pin Snug Crop T-Shirt 'Give me this shirt in every single color. I've been living in these all summer. They're high quality, fit perfectly, and just make me feel polished and confident.' — Zoe Yarborough, Staff Writer Pin Every Day Shimmer Mineral Sunscreen 'Serious sun protection with a little shimmer? Yes, please. This reef-safe, water-resistant sunscreen is made with non-nano zinc and tested to be safe for you and the ocean. The shimmer version gives your skin a soft, radiant glow — and just the right amount of sparkle to feel a little extra.' — Mary Breen, Web Designer Pin RYOBI Cordless Misting Fan 'If you despise being outside in the swampy summer air (I do), and your body rejects the heat (mine does), this RYOBI fan is a breath of fresh air. Literally. But wait for it … it's also a mister! Prop it on top of a bucket of water, and voilà — an instant personal cooling station that turns even the stickiest afternoon into something dangerously close to enjoyable.' — Jenna Bratcher, Associate Editor & Lead Nashville Writer Pin Happy summer!
