A Cup of Magic with J.K Rowling 

It’s no secret that the world’s most famous author was once a struggling single-mom facing hardship, but she never quit on her dream. Most of her days were spent in cafés where she would scribble her wizarding world on paper. 

The one powerful boost she had to push through the daily fatigue was an energizing cup of coffee. That cup of fresh brew a day helped her create an inspiring legacy for us all to enjoy. 

You may love coffee but don’t fancy spending hours in a café only to order more when your drink gets cold. The Eparé Retro Coffee Mug set is the perfect candidate to help you celebrate both the irresistible flavour of coffee, along with the inspiring women in your life, all from the comfort of your own home. 

The latest 12oz design is big enough to spark your imagination and bring out all the magical ideas while keeping your drink at the perfect temperature for longer. 

Here’s how to make a delicious latte for your coffee mug

Pour your espresso shot into the base of your Eparé Retro Coffee Mug. Add a shot of flavoured syrup if using. Use a spoon to retain microbubbles on top of the steamed milk. Pour the bottom 2/3 of the steamed milk from the steaming pitcher into the coffee mug. Top the latte with the remaining bubbles. Serve and enjoy!

Oprah Winfrey’s Party-starter Cocktail Tastes Better than Paradise

If you need a delicious cocktail that’s ridiculously refreshing, Oprah Winfrey has got you covered. 

One of the most influential women over the past few decades, Oprah sure knows how to get the party going in style. Her favourite go-to cocktail “Maui in December” keeps guests entertained all year round. This tropical cocktail is made with fresh ingredients that will have you sipping in paradise.

It’s part zesty (with lemongrass and ginger), part fruity (from pineapple-infused vodka), with a hefty dose of powerful antioxidants; pleasantly sweet yet packs a powerful punch. Shaking up this fresh drink will give everyone a taste of the island and will certainly be your new summertime favourite; it’s like a vacation in a glass!

Oprah loves to sip on her guilty pleasure surrounded by people she loves; so gather around the special women in your life, raise an Eparé Highball Glass, and make a toast to celebrate women’s achievement.
