In celebration of reaching 1000 followers on Instagram, I created this simple recipe to enjoy the small win.

I thought I’d get really creative with the garnish and carved out ‘1k’ and ‘1000’ using orange peels. This cocktail was so tasty and so simple to make with just 3 ingredients!

I like to think it’s not all about metrics such as likes and followers because those numbers do not reflect your value as a person.

However, I do believe in celebrating small wins in order to realise how far you have come and this symbolises a win to me.

I feel humbled knowing that 1000 people enjoy my content as much as I enjoy making it and followed me to continue to go on this journey with me.

I see it as a small win because starting this cocktail journey was just an idea in my head which started with 0 followers and my passion and consistency has enabled me to express myself creatively.

So cheers to 1k and clink clink many more!
