Grapefruit Honey Sake Cocktail & Capri by Skylar

Fall is just around the corner, but I am savoring every bit of summer with good cocktails and beautiful scents.  What better way to engage my senses than with a Grapefruit Honey Sake Cocktail and Capri by Skylar.  This cocktail takes about 10 minutes to make, so you can host a last-minute girls night, whip up a batch of sake cocktails, spritz a little Capri on your neck and wrists, and be ready to go in no time at all.

Sweet Memories

Flavors and scents can trigger memories, and a combination of a refreshing cocktail and a sweet perfume can transport you to a relaxing island vacation.  On a warm summer day, a spritz of Skylar's Capri and a sip of Grapefruit Honey Sake Cocktail will create memories that smell and taste sweet. You don't need a plane ride to get to where you want to be.

Capri: More Than Just an Island

Skylar’s Capri is a Mediterranean-inspired scent with notes of grapefruit, bergamot, blood orange, neroli, and dewy rose.  The scent is inspired by Capri, a vibrant little island off the coast of my Nonno’s hometown of Naples in Italy.  The sweet smell of Capri inspired me to make a Grapefruit Honey Sake Cocktail.  The sweetness of the grapefruit and honey is light and refreshing and tastes like sunshine feels.  I use Hakutsuru Sayuri Nigori sake, which adds a creamy flavor without overpowering the citrus base.  This specific sake is soft and floral, just like the neroli in Capri. The hints of white grape and flowers add a beautiful and lush element to the drink.

Commitment to Clean

Skylar is a leader in the clean perfume industry, creating scents that are non-toxic, clean, hypoallergenic, vegan, and cruelty-free.  Traditional perfumes often contain synthetic dyes, parabens, phthalates, and allergens, which is not good for the human body.  Skylar stands behind their commitment to clean, safe beauty through their Skylar Promise:

Clean Scents for Modern Women

As a woman-founded company, Skylar supports women through creating safe scents for women and contributing a portion of their proceeds and time to Step Up, a non-profit organization that provides mentorship for underprivileged high school girls in the United States.  From the products they make to the organizations they support, Skylar supports women's health and success.

Skylar's scents are modern and fresh.  They can be worn alone or layered with complimentary perfumes within the Skylar line.  When you wear Skylar, you will smell and have peace of mind... with a refreshing cocktail in hand!
