The Blue Moon Paloma is a fan favorite at Honey Moon, and at first glance, its vibrant colors are reminiscent of a late-spring sunset. Better yet, this cocktail is every bit as tasty as it looks. Adding a splash of blueberry mead to a well-loved pairing (in this case tequila and grapefruit soda) gives the drink additional sweetness and depth, taking it from ordinary to truly memorable.

“A split-cane fly rod is a traditional bamboo fly rod, made in the style and fashion that fly rods were made over 100 years ago, before the dawn of synthetic materials like graphite and fiberglass. What differentiates these rods is primarily the craft element behind them; they’re entirely handmade, crafted with simple but exacting hand tools. As such, they’re made to last.” To learn more about the craftsmanship behind Jimmy Watts’ one-of-a-kind fly fishing rods, visit us online at bellinghamalive.com.

Bar 542 is more than a bar: It’s a love letter to Pacific Northwestern recreation, culture, and community. Owner Helen Neville is also the mind behind Seven Spice Cafe, and while Seven Spice’s menu was inspired by her world travels, Bar 542 is about “[recognizing] the sense of place we have here.” Read more about @542bar in the full article, written and photographed by Cocoa Laney.
