Sunshine and cocktails

 I am going all typically British now, oh my goodness how hot was it last week!

It was unbearable in the office and virtually impossible to get a decent nights sleep, so by the time it was Friday and cocktail hours, I was ready for a drink and a bit of relaxing in the garden.

I had been given a very 70's garden set last week, for extra seating  when I have my charity tea party in a couple of weeks, so I have been enjoying using them all over the weekend.

I also was dog sitting for the lovely Micky Bell, who is an absolute treasure ( and a very funny little fella).

However I digress, lets get to the cocktail of the week.

Georgia Mint Julep.

Cognac

Mint

Ice

Muddle some mint in a shaker and add the cognac, stir around and leave for a few minutes to infuse.

Add ice to glass and fresh mint leaves.

Strain cognac over ice.

Sit in a sunny spot and enjoy.

Have a great week
