Happy Cocktail Friday y’all!!  Sometimes, okay, a lot of times, the weekend just can’t get here fast enough.  This was definitely one of those weeks, the beginning of the week was pretty much poo, due to some weird semi-flu sickness I had going on, but I’m back to 100% now and ready to get the weekend going.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

Due to the fact that a Gin & Tonic is pretty ‘my drink’ for the last several years, I felt it was time to add a little something extra to it.  As the temperatures start to rise here, I crave cold citrus-ey fruit all the time and I thought that some of that goodness would be a delightful addition to my favorite drink.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

I chose oranges and blood oranges solely due to the fact that they looked and smelled amazing when I walked past them at the store, and y’all these were the perfect addition to my favorite drink.  <\/strong><\/p>\n

The fresh juice only added a touch of sweetness, but made the drink so fresh tasting, I really have to say that this drink is a must make for sure.  I hope you have a wonderful weekend & thank you so much for stopping by!  <\/strong><\/p>\n
