Happy Cocktail Friday everybody!  At this very moment that this is posting I should be going through security at the ATL airport (hopefully not getting extra attention aka being harassed like I always<\/em> do) headed to Louisiana for the wedding of one of my favorite people ever! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Soo excited, not only because weddings are great & two awesome folks are getting hitched, but because it will be the first time I’ve been back in my old stomping grounds & see a number of folks for the first time in almost 5 years, sheesh time flies.  Let’s not forget Louisiana is where I got my start working in film, and I’ve got memories (a lot good, some meh) coming out of the wazoo from that place, and not to mention I’ve met some of my best friends ever there.<\/strong><\/p>\n

So, what better way to celebrate the nuptials of a beautiful couple than with a cocktail, am I right?  I may or may not have mentioned in the past that a Gin & tonic is hands down my ultimate cocktail, pretty much the only thing I ever drink when I’m out splurging.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

If you like a Gin & tonic, then you’ll like this too, totally has that same light taste to it…the lime juice, the Gin & the simple syrup, which you can find the link on how to make here<\/a>.  This is delightful and refreshing & especially with a bit of lime zest on top, yum! Also, if you’re not a fan of Gin you can totally sub for Vodka. Y’all have a wonderful weekend, I certainly plan on it, and congrats Audra & Alan! \ud83d\ude42 <\/strong><\/p>\n
