Recipe: The Pink Lady

Valentine's day themed pink cocktail

The Pink Lady cocktail is a timeless classic with its roots tracing back to the early 20th century. Its origin isn’t known for sure, but my favorite story is that it was named after Broadway star Hazel Dawn, who played the titular character in the 1911 Broadway musical The Pink Lady.

Just like Hazel, this cocktail is visually striking and evokes the glamor of the 1930s. With a striking pink hue and a velvety smooth top it’s, naturally, perfect for a Valentine’s Day themed Ripples print. I especially like the flavor balance between the botanical notes of gin paired with lemon juice and grenadine.

Use the red pod to turn your drink into art!

Why Investing in Regulars Is the Smartest Move for Your Café

Cafés were never just about coffee; they’re what sociologists call “third places”: the spaces between home and work where people connect, unwind, and feel a sense of belonging.These environments don’t just serve good coffee - they build routines, relationships, and emotional attachment. And that’s what drives repeat visits and long-term profitability.According to Duke University research, 40-45% of our daily actions are driven by habit, meaning customers don’t repeatedly choose a café because it’s the best; they choose it because it’s familiar.Once that habit is formed, switching requires effort, and most people simply don’t. But habit alone isn’t what creates real loyalty - recognition does.Here is why investing in your regulars isn’t just good hospitality - it’s one of the most powerful drivers of long-term business success:
