I have to be honest with you guys. I never tried a London Fog Latte ( Earl Grey latte ) until this year. As many of you know, I love lattes, and I look forward to trying new ones, with Chai lattes being one of my favorite. It wasn't until I was on my blogger friends Katrina Instagram feed that I decided to learn more about it. If you know me, when I'm excited about something, I want to try it immediately or at least as soon as I can. Thankfully I had earl grey on hand and decided to give it a try. I was so pleased with the flavor combination. I can't even describe what it tastes like. However, I will say that it's now one of my favorites.
This recipe is super simple to make on hand, I use Earl Grey Tea bags and I typically will make the recipe on a whim, not much prep work required. I've gotten to the point where I don't even have to measure the ingredients anymore for my lattes, and I will say that I'm becoming pretty accurate. I hope the next time that I made that latte, I'll have vanilla sugar on hand to garnish it with.

Are you a latte fan?

Last year around this time. My sister called me after having brunch and she raved about having a peach, Bellini. She was in the process of hosting her first event at her new home and she wanted that to be the signature drink of the day. Prior to leaving for her house, she told me what to pick up from the store and as soon as I arrived at her home. The mix drinks magic started to happen. I'm all for fruity drinks. Let's actually take a moment to “cheers to fruity drinks and warmer weather” what I did notice is that we had no other alternatives for someone who didn't want an alcoholic beverage. The weather is warming up in Connecticut and the invites will soon follow. On a whim, I decided to create a semi-homemade nonalcoholic Bellini.  Let me tell you that this drink is AMAZING! Perfect for brunch with the kiddos. Diet friendly, no added sugar and is perfect to have on a whim or to make at your next event.
