A dead tree on the beach during sunrise in Kauai HawaiiThe dead tree stands as a striking silhouette against the soft hues of sunrise on a Kauai beach. Its gnarled branches reach out toward the sky, stark and lifeless yet somehow captivating in their own right.

The contrast between the vibrant colors of dawn and the monochromatic form of the tree evokes a sense of stillness and contemplation.

The image serves as a reminder of the enduring connection between life and the natural elements that shape our world.

20230916_FallFood-42-Edit-IG.jpgMy Take on Blueberry Mezcal Margarita: The Perfect Start for the Fall SeasonAs the leaves begin to turn and the air cools, a creative twist on a classic cocktail can enhance the seasonal transition. My take on a blueberry mezcal margarita combines the smoky richness of mezcal with the tart sweetness of fresh blueberries, making it an exciting choice for autumn gatherings.Ingredients:2 oz mezcal1 oz fresh lime juice1 oz agave syrup½ cup fresh blueberries (plus extra for garnish)1 oz triple secA pinch of sea saltLime wedges for garnishIceInstructions:Muddle Blueberries: In a shaker, combine the fresh blueberries and a pinch of sea salt. Use a muddler or the back of a spoon to gently crush the berries, releasing their juices.Add Ingredients: Pour in the mezcal, lime juice, agave syrup, and triple sec. Fill the shaker with ice.Shake: Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds, allowing all the ingredients to meld.Strain: Double strain the mixture into a chilled glass to remove any blueberry pulp, ensuring a smooth texture.Garnish: Add a few fresh blueberries and a lime wedge on the rim of the glass for a touch of color and freshness.The combination of mezcal's earthy notes with the vibrant flavor of blueberries creates a refreshing cocktail that captures the essence of fall. It's perfect for cozy evenings or festive gatherings, inviting you to enjoy the changing season with every sip.
