Around Town ~ Miss Behavin

 

               Twenty-Twenty changed many things and one great thing that changed was Miss Behavin moved to the square.  County Court offices moved to a new facility and a large space opened up on the square.  Miss Behavin took over a large part while the Chamber of Commerce occupied the rest.  They are open Monday thru Saturday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.  Their website is www.missbehavinss.com.  You can shop there anytime you need.

 

               Miss Behavin has been in Sulphur Springs since 2010 and is owned by Chris and Lis Childress.  They started out at the VF Outlet mall, grew an online presence and moved downtown.  It’s been a great adventure that has been made even better because of their customers and community.

 

               Community is important to Miss Behavin, you can pretty much expect their support at major local events in the city and county.  They provide support to all the county schools when requested and feel it’s important to being part of the community as a whole.

 

               When you stop by Miss Behavin you can find something for multiple people on your lists.  Even those new baby boys.  While they feature mainly girls and women clothing, their junior department is a huge hit.  With customers coming from all over the State and even out of state while visiting Sulphur Springs.  The move from the VF mall did not deter the customers who loved their store, now they just have more reasons to visit Sulphur Springs because of the new location.

 

               You can find casual dress options, along with Sunday dinner items inside. Plus, a selection of jeans and shorts to help keep your wardrobe well rounded.  Spice it up with a cute pair of shoes from their selection and top it off with a necklace or hat.  We are sure that you can find a new piece to add to your wardrobe or start new with a little makeover. 

 

               Sizes range from baby to curvy and everything in between.  Be sure to check out their social media and website for new pieces that are hitting the shelves.  Your style can expand and grow at Miss Behavin.  Their staff is friendly and inviting to each customer and they keep up with current fashion trends to make sure you do as well.  Stop in to grab your summer finds and bring your friends.

Herb Infused Cocktail ~ Lemon Lavender Gin Rickey

 

    Spring is in the air and summer is coming in fast.  Before the heat hits we wanted to share a delicious and refreshing cocktail with you, using fresh lemons and lavender.  I know what you might be thinking, lavender is great for baths and relaxing but it can also be a wonderful herbal addition to your cocktail.  Lavender has the ability to relieve anxiety and depression which makes it a wonderful addition to our cocktail of the month.  

    This cocktail springs from a traditional Gin Rickey and adds in a little extra punch.  Instead of using limes we are using lemons and adding in the relaxing lavender as a garnish for little bit more interest.  Now this cocktail can be made for everyone, with the addition of a little honey.  We prefer to lean more towards the tart side and skip the honey and just enjoy the flavors shaken together.  You can make it how you like it and enjoy with friends on these cooler summer nights.

Lemon Lavender Gin Rickey

Serves 2

3 ounces Gin

4 ounces fresh squeezed lemon juice

2 TBLS Honey (Optional)

4 ounces sparkling water

2 sprigs of Lavender

2 lemon wedges

Add the Gin, lemon juice and honey, if using, to a shaker cup filled with ice.  Shake until well mixed and the outside of the cup is cold to the touch.  Pour over two ice filled glasses. Top off with the sparkling water of your choice.  Garnish with the lemon wedge and sprig of lavender.  

    We think no matter which way you put this drink together you will enjoy the flavors.  Add a little sweet to cut the tart of the lemon or leave it alone and enjoy the refreshing coolness as you drink.  This drink is going to make those summer nights that much more refreshing. 

    As always please drink responsibly and have a designated driver.  Until next time, Cheers!
