Saturday night drinks: INK Hotel cocktail challenge

Hello loves,

With the cold wind outside it’s the perfect moment to tell you about a cocktail challenge I had a while ago! In collaboration with INK hotel Amsterdam and their bar Pressroom Amsterdam (which is located in a very old former printing office) I took on the big challenge to create the perfect fall / winter cocktail. The task? Using a secret wintery ingredient. Well I’ll just be honest, my mind instantly screamed: APPLE PIE! And so here it is, my cocktail, the DiSaranda Originale, a Disaronno Apple Pie cocktail.

First step when you are creating your own cocktail? Figuring out which liquors go well together and how you want your cocktail to look and taste. So I went on a little inspiration trip through google, my cocktail books and my liquor collection.

Before I’ll start I am going to be completely honest with you. I don’t drink a lot and I don’t drink often but I always love a good cocktail, or 2, or 3. Having a drink is no problem and it can be the best thing sometimes to just kick back and enjoy a good glass of wine or a cocktail. However, always drink responsible and if you ever feel like you might have a drinking problem, talk to someone and get help.

Baci,
Saranda

A day on the beach with We Fashion x O’Neill

July 1, 2016

A while ago I was invited to attend a beach BBQ for the launch of a limited edition collaboration between We Fashion x O’Neill. Together they created a swimwear line for women with gorgeous bikini’s and a cute bright blue bathing suit.

I was excited for the BBQ and because I had a day off I decided to go to the beach early to soak in some well deserved sunlight and read a book. However, as soon as I arrived I saw that there was a group of press already present for a surf clinic by two of the best Dutch surf girls: Dominga Valdes & Julia van Rooij.

Let me tell you that I love surfing and have done it a couple of times already in Portugal and in Bali. So when the opportunity came around the corner and I was asked by the PR girls if I wanted to join the We Fashion x O’Neill surf clinic, of course I said yes! And so it happened, my day on the beach to relax became an epic day on the beach with fellow press and two amazing surf chicks who gave me some pretty good tips and tricks!

Thanks so much to We Fashion x O’Neill and of course to UPR who made it all happen!
I had a blast and I just can’t wait to hop on my surfboard again in about a week 🙂

Vapiano pasta carbonara italian food fresh

Ciao tutti!

Oggi / today I want to talk to you about good – real good – Italian food!
I love Italy and I won’t be lying as I said that I almost love every Italian dish… I am a big fan of the Italian kitchen. From Pizza & Pasta Bolognese, to a nice risotto or the perfect vermicelli dish.

I would not be lying either when I would say that most of the people I know love my Lasagna’s and my pesto pasta salad was pretty popular during the Christmas dinner.
Okay I’ll stop bragging ’bout it!

Today I want to tell you a bit about the various ways to make a good and delicious pasta Carbonara. With some tips from a Vapiani (a pasta chef at Italian Fresh-Fast-Food chain Vapiano).

Baci,

sarandaadriana sarandipity blogmas

Ciao dearies, Sarandipity Blogmas is here!

I’ve got so much inspiration at the moment and as I do not do vlogs – yet – I decided to join the blogmas hype. Maybe I will follow later this month by also joining the #vlogmas movement! Or start something new, how about #12daysofvlogmas from the moment Christmas starts?!

So what will Blogmas on SarandaAdriana.com mean?

Well the first thing is that I will blog, every single day, until Christmas! Lots of blogposts too come! 😀

Second there will, of course, be Christmas themed blogpost. I think around 2 – 3 per week!
Last but not least I will take you with me (maybe in a vlog) when preparing for Christmas. Think about picking out the perfect tree, decorating the tree but also planning Christmas eve, giftshopping and preparing for Christmas dinner!

I am really excited and I really hope you are too!

Baci,
Saranda
