I need a cocktail…
Seriously! This is not a want, this is a need.
Construction, permits, late sub-contractors, inspections, failed inspections, rescheduling, early morning noise, dirt constantly at the front door, men, some men who act like little boys, “the city” and re-inspections.
I’ve been up since 5:45 AM, it is now 7:00 … and I need a cocktail! I did not have any alcohol (meaning a glass of wine with dinner) last night or the night before or the night before that. I am overdue and entitled!
I am going to throw caution and good sense to the wind and imbibe in a morning drink – I deserve it and I believe it will make construction more bearable.
The recipe is based on one I saw in a women’s magazine while at the hair salon yesterday.
Balsamic and Elderflower Champagne Cocktail
1/2 teaspoon high-quality balsamic vinegar, divided
1 tablespoon St~Germain Elderflower liqueur
Ice cold sparkling wine or champagne
Lemon twist
Pour 1/4 teaspoon balsamic vinegar into a champagne flute. Top with St~Germain and then with sparkling wine.
Pour remaining 1/4 teaspoon balsamic vinegar on top and garnish with a twist of lemon peel. Enjoy as you thank God it’s Friday!
Serves 1

Hmmmm this might be good for girls’ night tonight after the very long weeks we had here too…
Cheers! I’m with you on the TGIF!! More baking to do today, but you can bet I’ll be having a cocktail by 4:00! Happy Friday! xxoo
Two of my favorite people – who are also very well deserving for TGIF cocktails!! xoxo
Starting right now…although my glass of wine isnt nearly as exciting as your beautiful champagne cocktail! Marissa are you drinking yet? xxoo
Patti, you go girl! I’m sure Marissa will be sad when she sees that you’re at it at 4:30 and she’s still at work. But, no doubt, she stays up longer than us and will still be at it while we snooze. Have a great weekend!
