How to play Quidditch Beer Pong
Over on Offbeat Bride, we featured a Harry Potter bridal shower where they played Quidditch Beer Pong. I asked Rachel how to play, and she gave me all the magical details. Grab your butter beer, ping pong balls, and your wands, and let’s play!
Pop bottles and make some wine cork and bottle cap projects
My favourite souvenirs from travel seem to be booze-related. I have a bunch of corks that I’ve saved from vineyard tours; bottle caps from my favourite beer at a brewery tour; and paper pub coasters from Hofbräuhaus. They’re sentimental and touristy at the same time (not to mention cheap and easy to bring back home) — but right now they’re just packed away. I want a way to display them that’s tasteful or even useful, and I’m inspired by this quote from Suzanne and Tim over on Offbeat Bride…
How do I host non-drinkers without making them feel excluded?
My in-laws recently decided to stop drinking, and they’re healthy and happy with the choice. However, I’m in a spot when it comes to an upcoming family party: I’ve never hosted non-drinkers. How do I gracefully support their choice without making them feel excluded or singled out?

What’s better than bringing Jello shots to a party? Bringing and entire Jello shot cake, of course! I got the recipe online, but there are definitely some tips to make this whole ordeal a lot easier. Here’s how I made it…
Megan-simple kale salad (with bonus scavenger cocktail action)
It seems my friends make EVERYTHING with kale — salads, risottos, pastas, and even drinks.

(Not only that, but we got a little creative and made a cocktail out of the leftover kale stocks.)
Don’t force-drunk your friends: Let them spike their own punch
Those who want boozey punch can make their own punch boozey and those who don’t have a delicious refreshment available sans alcohol.
Make real German homemade Glühwein from this secret family recipe
Glühwein (mulled wine) is really popular in Germany at Christmas. You get it in every Christmas Market and a lot of people make their own at home. Glühwein is a hot drink traditionally made of red wine, tea, spices and sugar. So if you want to try it, I show you how.
Make your own “12 Beers of Christmas” gifts
It can be a challenge when it comes to Christmas shopping for your spouse, friend, parent, or co-worker… but the gift of booze is usually a win! The downside, however, is that a pre-packaged box or carton of booze can also come across as “easy” or “thoughtless.” Well, I recently stumbled across a box that gave me an idea — a 12 bottle storage box could be transformed into “The 12 Beers of Christmas!”
