National Dog Mom Treat - Lemon Drop Martini (NA and Cocktail versions)

Dear Dog Mom,
I see you. Let’s just take a moment to say it: YOU'RE DOING GREAT. You may not have time to go the extra mile every day, but you’re still showing up for your pup in the best way possible, and that deserves to be celebrated.

Whether you're running errands, or just trying to keep up with the endless fur around the house, you’re doing an amazing job. It’s easy to feel like some days are just too busy to go the extra mile, but let’s be real—if you’re here, you're Pet Obsessed and on your worst day are still absolutely crushing it.

Want to Elevate Your Drinks Even More? Save Those Lemons! 🍋

Add a fun and colorful touch to your drinks with an easy DIY trick: colorful, sugar-rimmed glasses! Here’s how to do it:

1. Take regular granulated sugar and pour it into a reusable Ziploc bag (because eco-friendly is the way to go!).
2. Add a few drops of food coloring in your desired shade—whether it’s pink, purple, or yellow—and mix it until the sugar has absorbed the color through.
3. Pour the sugar onto a small plate and create a neat little pile.
4. Now grab those lemons! Run a lemon along the rim of your glass to moisten it.
5. Gently roll the moistened rim of your glass in the colored sugar until it’s fully coated.
6. Pour your desired drink into the glass, and voilà—an elegant, color-rimmed glass ready for your next celebration!

It’s an affordable way to add some flair and be the bougie drink master you deserve to be. Cheers to looking fabulous while sipping your favorite cocktails! 🥂
