have you ever been on a vacation that was anything but relaxing? that pretty much sums up my trip last week to new york. it was full of fun and food and friends and WAY too much booze. and in true angela fashion, i came home and went straight back to a crazy intense week of work.

moral of the story? i am running on fumes and i still have two solid days of work ahead of me before i get any kind of break. don’t let the instagram fool you, it’s a crazy mess over here!

so this week’s cocktail is going to require some COFFEE.

insert this spiced coffee martini. it will wake you up while mellowing you out. JUST what the doctor ordered this weekend.

if you follow me on social media, you know that i’m all about that coffee life. there are very few days in my world that don’t begin with a nice cup of french pressed coffee. not only is it a tasty and energy boosting way to start the day, it has become my morning ritual. as a busy boss lady, it is pretty much the only calm part of my day.

now, i’m not about skipping my morning cup, but i am down with mixing it up.

this coffee is the PERFECT fall twist for a non pumpkin spice loving girl. and don’t worry, if you are not a spicy fan, this coffee is not spicy. just seasonally spiced, easy to make and absolutely delicious.
