Cocktails: Home for the Holidays

Story Highlights

We have partnered with Beth Dixon of Salt & Acid to bring you the Outdoor Dreams' Cocktail Hour. For our Thanksgiving edition, we present a spiced rum cocktail that is perfectly balanced and wonderfully seasonal. This cocktail would be perfect around a fire to kick off your festivities or after dinner with (or in lieu of) dessert. And though we are releasing it for Thanksgiving, this delicious cocktail is perfect throughout the fall and holiday seasons.

With all of that said, we hope you enjoy "Home for the Holidays."

This homeowner approached Outdoor Dreams while relocating from Hawaii into their newly built custom home. With a fresh start in Virginia, they envisioned a poolscape that would feel both welcoming and grounded—a space that blended seamlessly with the architecture of their home while also reflecting the rustic, natural warmth of the Midwest.

When it comes to building a luxury poolscape, a swimming pool is just the beginning. The real magic happens in the details—the elements that transform a backyard into an unforgettable retreat.
