Is everyone crossing their fingers for the warm weather? Soon, we will be knee deep in our gardens and sipping cocktails on the deck.
You’re going to love this tasty drink from the fabulous Divine Cocktailer, Jean-Marie Manning. It was originally intended to celebrate the Kentucky Derby, but we think it is also a fantastic foray into the warmer weather. We can’t wait to watch our herb gardens grow. ????
