George and I enjoyed a very relaxing fourth of July this year. We had a wonderful day at the pool...
and then cheered on the Braves and grilled some delicious burgers with friends. I made this special drink from Martha Stewart's Everyday Food....Blackberry and Peach Muddle. I was hoping the blackberries would appear blue and the peaches would appear red to make it patriotic. Did not exactly work, but tasted great! ;)
2 thin slices peach, 3 blackberries, 2 large mint springs, 1 1/2 tsp. honey, 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice ... mix together and mash gently with the back of a spoon until the fruit releases juices. Add 1/4 cup bourbon, 2 thin slices peach, and 3 blackberries. Fill glass with ice and top with seltzer (I used Sprite and added the lemons).
Thanks to Charlie and Angie's wedding gift, I was able to use fresh mint from our herb garden!
We decided to just watch fireworks from our balcony and actually had a pretty good view! Happy Birthday America!
