Most people are drinking more now that they work from home.<\/p>\n

The Australian National University released the results from a country-wide survey <\/a>on June 10 that found people are drinking more frequently during the pandemic than in the three years prior. And according to this report<\/a> in the Seattle Times<\/em>, Americans have been stockpiling spirits like tequila and gin with sales jumping 75% compared to March 2019.<\/p>\n

The figures aren’t surprising. As there is no mandated knock-off time \u2013 no boss, no commute \u2013 something<\/em> must mark the grand hour that is finishing work for the day. If I\u2019m not headed to a restaurant, I wind down with a glass of red and some olives and it’s a little ritual I look forward to during my days of writing to you, even if I never use to drink during the week pre-pandemic.<\/p>\n

I recently, however, stumbled across past GRAZIA cover woman Olivia Palermo<\/a>\u2019s delicious take on a Prosecco classic, The Hugo. The mix of Italian Prosecco, elderflower and mint really was the \u2018it\u2019 spritz in Europe a couple of years ago, a pre-coronavirus era of pebbled sands, daybeds and SPF. While I\u2019m experiencing winter in Australia right now, this tall sparkling glass whisks me away to somewhere sunny.<\/p>\n

A couple of nights ago, Palermo posted a video of her making this little drink and I was going to wait until Friday to share. But in the WFH spirit, we need to bookend our days with something<\/em>, even if it\u2019s a Wednesday.<\/p>\n
