Tell me why it’s only Tuesday and I already feel like I’ve run a marathon? 😩 The weekend was amazing, successful, fun, and exactly what I needed to recharge. But somehow by Tuesday, reality always seems to slap me in the face with work emails, responsibilities, and that little voice reminding me of all the things left to do. Burnout before hump day? It’s giving absolutely not!!!

Here’s the thing, we all get tired, but we don’t have to tap out. The key is finding balance: push through the week strong, but also know when to pause, breathe, and treat yourself. And if you need a little distraction or a splash of drama, let me just remind you that my book No Room for Trust is out now.

Perfect to curl up with on a weeknight when you need a little escape.

But you already know what else helps, a good cocktail. And not just any cocktail, a country-inspired, sassy little sip that feels like it was made for you. That’s why I created the Wild Rodeo Refresh, the newest addition to my Sis, Have a Cocktail: Cowgirl Edition. She’s crisp, sweet, and a little sassy, just like you.

Wild Rodeo Refresh

Ingredients (1 cocktail):

• 2 oz Red Hazel Spiced Whiskey
• 2 oz apple cider
• 0.5 oz lemon juice
• 0.5 oz maple syrup (or honey)
• Dash of cinnamon (optional)
• Garnish: apple slice or cinnamon stick

Instructions:

1. Add whiskey, cider, lemon juice, and syrup to a shaker with ice.
2. Shake well, strain into a glass with ice.
3. Garnish and sip slow (or fast, no judgment).

It’s giving fall, it’s giving cozy, it’s giving “main character in the middle of nowhere with cowboy boots and a bold lip.” Most importantly, it’s giving you permission to slow down, reset, and remind yourself you’ve got this week handled.

Because sis, the year is almost over. The chilly weather is creeping in, which means it’s time to mentally prepare, pull out the proper attire, and stock up on your whiskey. And lucky for you, I’ve got a 10% off code for Red Hazel Spiced Whiskey to make sure you’re fully stocked for the season. USE NSADE10 at check out!

So let’s finish this week strong but, don’t forget your spiced whiskey.
