    The cocktail sounds divine!!! Love the party lights (or maybe they're ghostly orbs) in the photo?
    Thank you daughter "Oona" for the birthday post--I'll take you up on that enticing drink this weekend if things work out.
    Thanks too for your happy wishes Gingermakes and Thewallinna!

    Happy Birthday mommaballoona! If I'm ever in need of an idea for a cocktail your blog would be looked at first! Drinks and sewing, what could be better? ;)

    HB to MB! And many happy returns of the day.

    My own darling daughter professes to hate the taste of gin. How can I have failed her so miserably?
