Natalie Xanthakis is only a newlywed and already the wife of all wives, planning the picture perfect dinner party and creating her own tasty recipes. She started her must read blog Mint Love Social Club in February of 2011 as a creative outlet to showcase some of her favorite home decor, recipes, DIY projects and party planning tips. One of the first regular posts she started was a cocktail post every Friday with a new recipe each week for her readers. That weekly post grew out of the tradition that her and her husband didn’t have any plans on a Friday night, they would head to the grocery store and spend the night in trying out different cocktail recipes. See her cocktail concoction below created just for THE WIFE. – Taryn Cox for THE WIFE

Hi there, I’m Natalie from Mint Love Social Club here to give you all a great his and hers cocktail pair for Fall! It just so happens that Miss Taryn and I go way back as our mothers have been close friends for many years so I was delighted when she asked me to do a little cocktail guest blog!
Today I created a great pairing for a cozy Autumn night in using rosemary simple syrup to give it an herbal and seasonal flavor! The cocktail for her features gin and grapefruit so its lighter and sweet while the cocktail for him is much stronger with only
Rittenhouse Rye whiskey and some
Peychaud bitters to accompany a dash of the simple syrup. I hope you enjoy them! Click “Contiune Reading” for the recipe and directions. –
