Make your own "April Blossom"

 

Here’s the “April Blossom” cocktail recipe that was created by a mixologist for our New Orleans bride.  Happy drinking!

April Blossom
1 ounce sweetened passion fruit puree
3/4 ounce Strawberry puree 
1/2 ounce your favorite Vodka
3 ounces champagne
Preparation
Assemble in a pitcher the two purees and the vodka and stir to blend; try to find the large glass pitchers that are wider at the top… that will allow you to pour the champagne gently down the side of the pitcher while gently pulling the puree up from the bottom with a long bar spoon. Pouring gently helps to avoid losing the bubbles. Strain into a champagne flute glass and garnish with a half strawberry.

New Orleans–Sneak Peek

 

Here are some images from our New Orleans event a few weeks ago.  Sean Randall was the fantastic photographer for this wedding.  As you can see, the couple had their own New Orleans Brass Band lead guests in a traditional “Second Line” while waving white handkerchiefs and carrying drinks.  The “Second Line” walked from the courtyard ceremony to the reception.   We’ll post more images from the reception next week.  Guests were greeted with an “April Blossom” cocktail upon arriving at the reception.  Also, stay tuned Carrie leaves for a Turks & Caicos wedding on Tuesday…

"To Do" List

 

General:  Listening the the always-classic tunes aired on Johnny Cash Show.  New York: Check out the Tribeca Film Festival that has now over-taken our hood.  Always fans of the “drive-in” at the pier, we remember when the festival showed the final episode of friends at the Drive-in.  So sad.  L.A.: The Annenburg Community Beach House Opens this weekend.  Once the guest house of Marion Davies, the club is a five acre spread along the Santa Monica beach.  You can also pre-order a picnic for opening weekend.
