Guaro Sour (Costa Rica cocktail) – Hump Day Happy Hour with #Lockwoodeffect
We're delivering this Costa Rica classic cocktail straight from our Inspirato Villa in Pacifico Coco Beach! This is certainly one of the simpler cocktail recipes we've made for you, but it doesn't disappoint. With only a few fresh ingredients, it's a light and refreshing drink for the next time you're poolside—or wanting to pretend like you're poolside :)
Family Cliff Diving On Our Inspirato Trip to Costa Rica (Day 3): Waterfalls and Cliff Jumping Mishap
We found a Costa Rican treasure! Llanos de Cortez is about an hour drive from our Inspirato villa near Coco Beach. The waterfall was magnificent, but a local gave us a tip on where to hike for some real fun!
7 Nights in a Private Costa Rican Mansion Without Paying Extra? Overlooking the Playas Del Coco!
For our third Inspirato Pass trip, we chose this incredible 4-bedroom Monte Del Mar villa in Pacifico, Costa Rica. It's an incredible, sprawling estate for our 5-person family and it's absolutely perfect for our needs. In this video, we essentially provide an Inspirato Pass review so you can see the features of the home and property and decide for yourself: is Inspirato Pass worth it? Is Inspirato a good deal in general? Considering what we pay per month, there's just no question. Once you start traveling like this, you never wanna go back.
Inspirato Trip to COSTA RICA (DAY 1): Iguanas, Crocodiles, Monkeys and a Hidden Restaurant
Our first day in Costa Rica was an all-day adventure! We started by making some new iguana friends at a city center park in Filadelfia, Costa Rica. These were the biggest iguanas we've ever seen and about a dozen of them came running up to us as soon as we arrived! We then spent several hours on a private boat tour down a rainforest river, where we got up-close and personal with myriad species of birds, crocodiles, monkeys, bats, and more.
Reagan gets SCUBA certified for our next Inspirato Pass trip
Now that Colt and Phil are making a tradition of fishing boat charter trips on each one of our tropical Inspirato vacations, we needed to start thinking of daddy-daughter activities, too. Reagan had been expressing an interest in SCUBA diving, so with only 14 days until our trip to Costa Rica, we got her enrolled in the 15-hours of online academics and 3 days of pool training. The only thing left would be her open water certification dives, which we decided to just do in Costa Rica!
Cran’ Stand The Holidays – Hump Day Happy Hour with #Lockwoodeffect
It's almost Thanksgiving, but it's also 2020 and officially Christmas season. So we're making a cocktail that compliments both holidays: Cran' Stand The Holidays. Although we very much LOVE and CAN stand the holidays :)
2020 Christmas Decorating // Matching Family Pjs!
Just like everyone else, we decided to decorate for the holidays a little early this year. COVID may have changed Thanksgiving this year, but we're not going to let it get our Christmas spirit down!
2017 Tignanello - Hump Day Happy Hour With #LockwoodEffect
Today is not your typical Hump Day Happy Hour. Instead of shaking up a cocktail, we're enjoying an amazing bottle of Italian wine given to us by our new friend and client, Tim Romani of Mozzafiato.com. We're also snacking on the best cheese tray in the 'hood from So Damn Gouda.
5 Nights in a HUGE Private Cabo Villa Without Paying Extra?
We had an incredible family vacation to Los Cabos, Mexico. We found the perfect way for a family of five to enjoy a private, spacious home, incredible resort location and plenty of exciting adventure around San Jose Del Cabo / Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
Duck Pee (Jungle Juice) – Hump Day Happy Hour With #LockwoodEffect
This Hump Day we're sharing a weekend tradition and bringing you in on one of our favorite college football cocktails – Duck Pee.
Roasted Pineapple Mezcal Margaritas - Hump Day Happy Hour with #LockwoodEffect
We've broadcast HDHH from our Denver home, from our Coronado Island home, and now from Los Cabos, Mexico! We took some time out from our latest Inspirato trip duties to whip up a Mexican cocktail: the Roasted Pineapple Mezcal Margarita! These margs combine the smoky flavor of local mezcal with the char from grilled fresh pineapple. The result is a cold, complex, and perfectly-sweet drink that makes you feel like you're right here in San Jose del Cabo with us!
COVID Trick-or-Treating – A 2020 Halloween covid solution
A Halloween COVID was always going to be an issue for halloween 2020. We don't even have a candy chute! But we had to do something! So we said screw the pandemic, screw wearing masks... we're just going to let the kids trick-or-treat close to home.
Baseball During a Pandemic! - Central Park Little League World Series 2020
Since there isn't any college football this year and Colt's little league season is in the fall, we're using all our energy to cheer on his baseball team, the Padres!
Here are some baseball highlights from the Central Park championship game! They might not be ready for mlb but they're all definitely champions this year.
If you missed the little league world series 2019 last year, this might satisfy you :)
Proper Apple Martini - Hump Day Happy Hour fall cocktails with #Lockwoodeffect
Because of our secret weapon main ingredient, this apple martini is hands down the best appletini in town!
Tito's vodka is our go-to vodka, of course, but the star of this week's cocktail recipe is Leopold Bro's New York Sour Apple Liqueur. Unlike the neon green "Puckers" Schnapps that's typical for an appletini recipe, The Leopold's tastes like biting into an actual granny smith apple. It's the real deal and results in a much more sophisticated apple flavor.
Perfect Pomegranate Cosmopolitan - Hump Day Happy Hour With #LockwoodEffect
If you love vodka martini recipes as much as we do, and you have a particular fondness for cosmopolitan martinis (AKA the "cosmo martini"), and if you REALLY love pomegranates, then you're gonna go nuts for our Perfect Pomegranate Cosmopolitan recipe (or, as we call it, the Perfect Pom-opolitan). This cocktail recipe is based on our Perfect Cosmo recipe, which comes from over 1,000 attempts to find the right ratios and ingredients. Follow this formula and you'll be able to make the best cosmopolitans (and pom-opolitans) you and your friends have ever had. Note: one of the big secrets is the ice, so watch till the end!
Sangria Mexican Mule - Hump Day Happy Hour With #LockwoodEffect
It's Cocktail Time!! Unless you've been drinking under a rock for the past couple decades, you've no doubt seen countless Moscow Mule Cocktail drinks on bar/restaurant menus. Those expensive copper mugs (we've had bars hold a drivers license as collateral since they're apparently a high-theft item), a shot or two of vodka, some proper ginger beer, and plenty of lime. But what if you're looking for something a bit different? Enter: the Sangria Mexican Mule—a Spanish/Mexican spin that incorporates red wine and swaps in tequila for the vodka. So grab your ingredients and let's get crafting! So let's jump into today's Hump Day Happy Hour and teach you NOT how to make a moscow mule!
We Turned Brooklyn’s First LA Modeling Gig Into a Family Vacation (Spago Beverly Hills + Rodeo Dr)
Now that our kids are modeling again, we're doing regular trips to Los Angeles. So when Brooklyn got a gig with Hayden Girls in LA last week, we decided to take advantage of our new Inspirato membership and the kids' remote school and get the entire family out for a quick vacation. We stayed at the SLS Hotel in Beverly Hills and hit up some of our favorite restaurants, like Sugarfish Bevery Hills and Spago Bevery Hills. And sure, we got the kids out for Rodeo Drive window shopping, but we also got tons of sun in the rooftop pool! And Phil was such a trooper since we left Denver just a few hours after his oral surgery (you can probably tell that his mouth is still a bit numb and that he's on pain killers ;)
Apple-Pear Bourbon Sour - Hump Day Happy Hour With #LockwoodEffect
Summer is over, so it's time to transition our cocktail game from those amazing, warm-weather fruits to those autumn-inspirations. In this week's #LockwoodEffect episode, we pull together some apples, some pears, and some apple-pears—holy crap!
