The Corkscrew - Its unique shape has made it a natural inspiration for artists, symbolizing creativity and the unpredictable twists of life. In folklore, its spirals are thought to represent the intricate paths of life or serve as a botanical reflection of life's complexities. Weekend Getaways.

Dark 'n' Stormy 

An impressive cocktail that is visually reminiscent of a storm over the ocean, showing the joy and danger that are inseparable at sea.

  • 60 ml dark rum 

  • 90 ml ginger beer

  • 15 ml lime juice

Put ice in a tall glass (highball) and pour over the ginger beer. Add lime juice, and then slowly pour in the dark rum so that it remains on the surface. Decorate with a slice of lime. It can also be made the opposite way round, pouring the ginger beer in at the end.

Ellie’s Earth…

At twenty, she circumnavigated the globe solo. At twenty-one, she did it again. It’s the kind of headline that stops you mid-scroll — a young woman looping the planet, alone except for a backpack.
But the real story is quieter: how a twenty-something from Delray Beach has made travel an art of belonging, fleetingly and beautifully, wherever she lands.
