Apple, Pear and Gin Cocktail

10.3.12
Hello! You've landed on an older recipe. Sometimes the older recipes aren't written as clearly as they should be or something might need to be clarified. If something seems confusing or a question arises, send me an email and I'll help!

I'm raising a glass to today.

 Today really isn't too terribly important. I'm not making any grand announcements or celebrating events, it's just me, giving cheers to life. I have a feeling in my body that is akin to how I felt before I jumped out of plane: terror, excitement, and my favorite, "AHHHHH" (because there are no words to describe it).  We (both M and I) are taking leaps but before we do, I'm taking a moment to sit back and let everything sink in.  I am taking extra long walks in the brisk fall morning or relaxing outside in the hammock until the warmth of the noon sun.

Big changes are coming and I only wish I could tell you about them (of course, that would mean I would know all the facts- which isn't the case).  The new site-lift is just the beginning.  For now, have a drink with me?

 I'm not really a cocktail drinker. I love my wines, craft beers, and the occasional glass of good scotch on the rocks. I've had a bottle of gin sitting in my house for awhile now, so I figured it was time to use it.

This drink is a result of two things:  a bunch of pears and apples in my refrigerator and a juicer that rarely is used. My train of thought: I could have fresh juice and even better, I could add booze! The rosemary is optional but adds an extra touch of fall flavor to the drink.

So I'm raising my glass: here's to big things!  Cheers!

  1. Cheers to life... love that line. It's great to take a step back and celebrate for the sake of just celebrating. I'm not one to drink gin, but paired with fresh fruit, I'd give it another try.
