So far we’ve been all over Østerbro, Frederiksberg, and Christianshavn 🌸 There are so many quaint little streets I never knew existed and I’ve been photographing them to make Margot a book of all the places we explored during her naps.

It’s the hardest job I’ve ever had. But also the most rewarding. It’s been a little under three months, but it’s everything I could have wished for. Thank you Margot for making me a mom. I’ve never been so tired yet so happy and fulfilled all at once. 🥹 You’ve taught me so much already and I can’t wait to see what’s next 💞

Cocktails with Kails, Entertaining, Living · May 1, 2020

Spicy Watermelon Margaritas

A refreshing margarita, with a bit of a kick. Cinco de Mayo always reminds me of tacos and margaritas, so while it’s not really a celebrated holiday in Copenhagen I knew I needed to make my husband and I some tacos and margs for the occasion. The key to this cocktail is a really juicy watermelon.

Insider Tips to a Good Watermelon:

1. A yellow spot — watermelons develop a splotch where they rest on the ground, when this splotch turns a creamy yellow, you know you have a ripe watermelon.

2. Sounds hollow — give it a knock and if it produces a deep hollow sound, this is a good sign that it’s a juicy melon.

3. Feels heavy — no matter the size, it should feel heavy for its size.

What cocktails should I make next?
