The Aristocrat from Magnolia Creative Co.

My sweet friend Emily, from Magnolia Creative Co., designed this beautiful cocktail calendar. It’s so beautiful and every month is dedicated to a different delicious cocktail. I thought that it would be fun to share each one to showcase her gorgeous work. This month’s cocktail is The Aristocrat. It’s a delicious cocktail made with red burgundy, strawberry syrup, Pimm’s liqueur, and champagne.

Magnolia Creative Co. is well-know for their fun and whimsy designs. She has many different collections. I’m especially a fan of the oyster, iris, and of course all Mardi Gras collections (speaking of Mardi Gras make sure to check out all of my Mardi Gras inspired cocktails here). Make sure to check out her site for great home decor and gift ideas.
