Sunday Salon - July 3

Just a quick link for you today then I'm off to read and relax - this three day weekend is as close to a vacation as I may get for several months!


With all of the celebrating some of you will be doing this weekend, I thought you might want to choose a drink with a literary tie-in. Check out Flavorwire's article "How To Drink Like Your Favorite Author." Perhaps it's a little too hot this weekend for Carson McCuller's hot tea and sherry but maybe some of Ernest Hemingway's beloved Mojito's?

    Husband,Franco, made a new batch of limoncello yesterday, but any lemon drink with ice is refreshing this time of the year!

  9. I hope you were able to kick back, relax & get some good reading in! I wish I could read while enjoying my cocktail of choice but I'm from the same camp as the Fitzgeralds, in some ways, & anything I read while sipping away, I'd have to reread the next time I picked up the book!
    I like the choices of many of these esteemed writers but Dorothy Parker's whiskey sour looks most refreshing! I s'pose Faulkner's Mint Juleps should be my choice since my dad won several drinks-offs in his day at the Mint Julep Festival!
