Hey, happy weekend! I’m trying to get back in the rhythm of doing these beverage + link posts, so forgive the gap. Mark and I are in Seattle on a little vacation this weekend. We bought tickets to see Dead and Company at The Gorge and decided to build a little trip out of it. Excited to eat Frankie & Jo’s ice cream for five days straight! Lol.
This is my go-to drink at the end of a long or rough day–or just when I’m feeling like a little something to drink on my porch. It’s essentially spiced rum with ginger kombucha and a squeeze of lime over a ton of crushed ice. It couldn’t be simpler or more refreshing. Hope you love it as much as I do! A few more refreshing beverages for you from my archives: Spiced Cranberry Orange Margaritas, Minty Cucumber Limeade, and Winter Sparkle Juice. Here’s a few links below to check out at your leisure. Hugs! <3
David Wallace-Wells, author of The Uninhabitable Earth, on the latest episode of the Dave Chang Show podcast. Dave’s interview style is very get-to-the-point and Wallace-Wells is famously frank on how bad the climate crisis actually is.
Urfa pepper is my favourite spice/ingredient in general right now. It’s a dried chili flake that’s smoky, earthy, and tangy at the same time. It’s perfect sprinkled on pretty much anything. You can learn a bit more about it in this article.
Building a mindfulness practice has its own special set of roadblocks. Switching to walking meditation (as mentioned in this article) has been helpful for me lately.
“In many ways, it has been weird to watch this ingredient that has always felt so quotidian to me become so ubiquitous so quickly in the U.S. This is certainly not the first Indian ingredient or dish this has happened to.”

I had no idea that Eater was running a feature called The Week in Guy Fieri, but now that I know, I’m locked in for LIFE.
Spicy & Stormy Booch
Ingredients
- crushed ice
- 1 ½ oz spiced rum
- ½ teaspoon fresh lime juice
- 6 oz (¾ cup) ginger-flavoured kombucha
Notes
- I prefer crushed ice for this one! Just adds a nice textural element to the fizz.
Instructions
- In a medium-sized glass, combine the crushed ice, rum, and lime juice. Give it a little stir to combine. Top the ice mixture with the ginger kombucha. Garnish the stormy booch with a lime wheel and a thin slice of ginger if you like. Enjoy immediately.
This looks so refreshing! I can’t believe I’m still yet to try kombucha, but I’ve only ever heard great things. Definitely going to make this on a hot day x

Great links! Love this article……thank you!
I loved this post and some of the links are very VERY interesting. Since last month or so I keep reading about climate change and its impact and the minute you learn about it, becomes a great concern!
A drink with kombucha is always a yes! :-D
