The Richmond Kitchen Sink

So on our way home from an outing to the Chesapeake for lunch, sitting in an interminable traffic jam, with four squashed adults and one kid in a car seat, Heather and I came up with this cocktail.  Yes, it was fueled by desperation, and yes, it was based on the ingredients we knew she would have in the house when we got home, but despite all of that it was actually quite delicious.  Here's how to do it:

recipe:

Bourbon

Peach cider or juice

fresh lime

splash of seltzer

ice

Garnish and extras:

sugar and cayenne dusted rim

sprig of rosemary

Ok, so Martha Stewart, we are not.  But we had fun trying!  Sparkling Sangria Blanca recipe here.

First Ever Birthday BBQ For TH

We have had some very strange weather up here.  On March 21st, which was TH's birthday, the temperature got up to 75 degrees.  And it even stayed warm into the evening.  So strange.  But we took advantage of it by celebrating his birthday outside, with summery cocktails and a mexican barbecue.  Happy Birthday (again) TH!

Cheers!

It's summer somewhere, right?  Some nights I just can't resist the call of a gin and tonic.
