Welcome!

 Hi everyone! I'm Maria, a chemist and Bath and Body Works fragrance addict. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, baking, and, more recently, mixology. I recently had the idea to invent cocktails based on my favorite Bath and Body Works fragrances, and I am sharing these recipes with the world in this blog. In each post, I will list the fragrance notes of the scent I am emulating and the recipe for the cocktail I have invented. Feel free to change the proportions to make the cocktail stronger or weaker so as to suit your preferences. I am a sweet tooth, so the cocktails I invent tend to be on the sweeter side. You may need to adjust the sweetness level to suit your preferences as well.

Winter Candy Apple

 The winter candy apple cocktail is inspired by this Bath and Body Works fragrance: About the fragrance I first purchased the body cream pictured in 2021. I ordered it online based on a review that said it was similar to Winterberry Wonder, which I liked. The scent is currently unavailable online, but it will hopefully be back next holiday season. There is a Winter Candy Apple candle in stock currently, but the fragrance notes are different than they are in the body cream so I didn't provide a link. The scent notes listed for this fragrance are: Candy red apple Winter rose petals Candied orange Maple leaf Fresh cinnamon Designing the cocktail I used an Octorock hard apple cider from Starcut Ciders as the mixer since I already had it on hand. Any hard apple cider would work, and if you prefer your cocktails less sweet you could try a dry cider. Octorock is ranked as semi-sweet on the Starcut Ciders sweetness scale. I used rose petals (they're edible) from Mountain Rose Herbs .

Forever Red

 The forever red cocktail is inspired by this Bath and Body Works fragrance : About the fragrance I first purchased this fragrance as a body lotion in 2021. I ordered it online based on reviews saying that it was similar to several other scents I liked (A Thousand Wishes, Velvet Sugar, and Cashmere Glow.) I liked the body lotion, so I eventually purchased the fragrance mist as well. The scent is currently only available as a shower gel online. The scent notes listed for this fragrance are: Fiery pomegranate Red peony Rich vanilla rum Oak wood  Designing the cocktail I used pomegranate juice as the mixer. I ordered dried peony petals (they're edible!) from the Etsy shop Woodwell . I couldn't find vanilla rum at my local grocery store, so I used white rum and prepared a homemade vanilla simple syrup for the vanilla note. I didn't know how to approximate an oak wood note, so I left that out. Recipe 2 oz vanilla rum 1 oz vanilla simple syrup 6 oz pomegranate juice Peon

Saltwater Breeze

 The saltwater breeze cocktail is inspired by this Bath and Body Works fragrance :   About the fragrance   I purchased this fragrance in 2022 based on reviews saying that it was similar to Magic in the Air (subject of a previous post ) and Gingham, both of which I liked. It is currently available online as a wallflower fragrance plugin. The scent notes listed for this fragrance are: Fresh linen Violet leaves Water blossom White musk Designing the cocktail I used club soda as the mixer to account for the watery essence. For the violet note, I used violet syrup from this floral elixir syrup set from Uncommon Goods. I also added dried sweet violet blossoms (they're edible) from the Etsy shop Epic of Nature . For the water blossom note, I used the lily petals I used for Cashmere Glow as a substitute for water lilies, since the flowers on the packaging resembled water lilies but water lilies themselves are not edible. For the musk note, I used white rum. I could not figure out how to
