Tea Re-Fashioned
Since we're so into awards these days, we decided to attend The Elle Awards at the Grand Hotel Stockholm--a massive fashion awards show in Sweden. And since acknowledgements were given to the best designers, photographers and stylists who have contributed to the fashion industry, both in Sweden and internationally, we knew we had to go all out with the cocktails. There's something about being in our homeland that gets us really inspired. Not only are these cocktails delicious, and believe us, we "sampled" enough to know that they are, they also look pretty amazing. So whip out your recipe binders and file these in the "most delicious" category. Your next party will be exponentially more successful (read: tipsy) with them on hand.
