Mint Julep to Win the Derby!

Posted on May 6, 2011 by Natalie

We, here at Lifeguard Press, love the Kentucky Derby for many reasons … the hats, the grandeur and the mint juleps! (Plus, because our headquarters are in Kentucky means that it has a little extra place in our heart.) This year, we would like to start a new tradition. We LOVE the idea of using the ultimate socialite cup for the perfect southern drink. So,  we propose a toast to Lilly Pulitzer tumblers for mint juleps! And, at just $15 for 6 cups, they’re a little more budget friendly, too. Cheers!

p.s. We love this mint julep recipe from the Food Network:

Ingredients

  • 4 cups bourbon
  • 2 bunches fresh spearmint
  • 1 cup distilled water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • Powdered sugar

Directions

To prepare mint extract, remove about 40 small mint leaves. Wash and place in a small bowl. Cover with 3 ounces bourbon. Allow the leaves to soak for 15 minutes. Then gather the leaves in paper toweling. Thoroughly wring the mint over the bowl of whisky. Dip the bundle again and repeat the process several times.

To prepare simple syrup, mix 1 cup of granulated sugar and 1 cup of distilled water in a small saucepan. Heat to dissolve sugar. Stir constantly so the sugar does not burn. Set aside to cool.

To prepare mint julep mixture, pour 3 1/2 cups of bourbon into a large glass bowl or glass pitcher. Add 1 cup of the simple syrup to the bourbon.

Now begin adding the mint extract 1 tablespoon at a time to the julep mixture. Each batch of mint extract is different, so you must taste and smell after each tablespoon is added. You are looking for a soft mint aroma and taste-generally about 3 tablespoons. When you think it’s right, pour the whole mixture back into the empty liter bottle and refrigerate it for at least 24 hours to “marry” the flavors.

To serve the julep, fill each glass (preferably a silver mint julep cup) 1/2 full with shaved ice. Insert a spring of mint and then pack in more ice to about 1-inch over the top of the cup. Then, insert a straw that has been cut to 1-inch above the top of the cup so the nose is forced close to the mint when sipping the julep.

When frost forms on the cup, pour the refrigerated julep mixture over the ice and add a sprinkle of powdered sugar to the top of the ice. Serve immediately.

Royal Inspired Wedding

Posted on April 29, 2011 by lifeguardpress

All of us girls here at Lifeguard Press have been swooning over all of the Royal Wedding details! (Congrats to Will & Kate!) Of course, we chit-chat about what fabulous details will become favorites for decades to come. We loved the elegance of the Royal Invitations, but would want something a little more personal … traditional, with a modern twist. The invitations we love the most (that incorporate the royal gold and black from the royal invitations) are from the Lilly Pulitzer Wedding Collection by Lifeguard Press. The ”Reef Raf Gold” invitations are gorgeously gold foil stamped and black letterpressed … traditional at a glance, but very modern as you look closely at all of the details (they’re even edge painted in black. Wow!)!  And, we love the idea of incorporating a little bit of gold opulence into the wedding. Alarm clock is set! We’ll be glued to the BBC to catch all of the details!

……………………………………………………………………………

For truly royal looking invitations, contact your local stationery boutique and ask about the Lilly Pulitzer Wedding Collection by Lifeguard Press. The Album features more than 20 designs (from traditional to modern to totally pink!) on luxuriously, thick paper that is letterpressed or engraved.

For gorgeous Lilly Pulitzer invitations, without the cost of letterpress or engraving .. the Lilly Pulitzer Digital Album is also available. Features all of your favorite Lilly Pulitzer designs, but flat printed instead of letterpress or engraved. Especially perfect for all of your wedding parties!

Here Comes the Easter Bunny …

Posted on March 21, 2011 by lifeguardpress

Hippity-Hop! In just a few more weeks the Easter Bunny will be visiting your house! Have you made your wish list? Our team at Lifeguard Press has been working on theirs … and below are a few of their favorite items!

We are loving the favorite picks of the Lilly Pulitzer Diary, Thermal Mug, Sailor Bracelets and Umbrella. And, j’adore the giant poodle eraser from Jonathan Adler! (You must check out the giant erasers in shapes of a whale, elephant and turtle, too!) The Jonathan Adler highlighters are always a superstar and will go quite colorfully with the Easter Eggs. And … check out the little “baskets” made out of ice cream cones, Jelly Belly jelly beans and licorice. Genius!

But, are you looking for an Easter basket, too? Want to do something totally different? We are loving these ideas …

What about filling a Jonathan Adler laptop bag or Lilly Pulitzer lunch box with goodies? It’s the “basket” they’ll want to use all year! Or, we think the Lilly Pulitzer ice bucket would make the ultimate “basket.” Who wouldn’t want this fabulous gift filled with Peeps?! (Best part? The ice bucket can be personalized!) Or, want a basket that is already gift filled and gift wrapped? Check out the new Lilly Pulitzer bath set - filled with Lilly Pulitzer bubble bath, mit, fizzie, and even a pink rubber ducky! Love!

Happy Easter from all of us at Lifeguard Press!

Happy Birthday Lilly Pulitzer!

Posted on November 10, 2010 by lifeguardpress

Today, Lifeguard Press is celebrating the classy lady who made bright colors and shift dresses part of our everyday wardrobe…Lilly Pulitzer!

It all started with a juice stand in Palm Beach 50 years ago. Lilly, a young New York Socialite, had just eloped with Peter Pulitzer and settled in Palm Beach. Looking for a fun hobby, Lilly decided to open a juice stand featuring local citrus. Her business was a hit, but all the squeezing made a mess of her clothes, so Lilly designed a dress to camouflage the stains. The result: A comfortable sleeveless shift made of bright, colorful printed cotton in pink, green, yellow and orange–the Classic Shift.

Customers loved her dress and soon she was selling more shifts than juice. She decided to stop squeezing and focus solely on selling her “Lillys.” Before long, Jackie Kennedy began wearing Lillys. Then, of course, everyone wanted one and Lilly Pulitzer® became a fashion sensation. Throughout the ’60s and ’70s, the Lilly Pulitzer line was the uniform of the affluent at play. Her stores sprang up in favorite resort towns of the jet set and Lilly’s pink and green colors became the banner of the resort lifestyle!


In celebration we are offering the Lilly Pulitzer® Cocktail Shakers on sale! Join us in wishing this fabulous lady a VERY Happy (it is not classy nor polite to reveal a lady’s age!) Birthday!

“Too Much is Never Enough”
