Continuing the theme of citrusy gin cocktails: tonight, an Orange Blossom.

Gin, Cointreau, orange juice, and orange flower water. I don’t have orange flower water, so I substituted orange bitters. Yummy!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend. Just earned eight hours of continuing education credit. Time to relax.

I love you all…

Boatloads of laundry to do while she unpacks! This has been a long day. Time for a nightcap: Emergency Drinking Beer from Wild Heaven Brewery in Avondale Estates, GA. Hope all is well with everyone!

is that because many cocktails use it, or because you're particularly fond of it?

And how would you rate this photo out of 10?
