March is acting true to form - coming in like a lion with snow and freezing temperatures but quickly becoming a lamb. We'll still have some very cold days before spring but we're starting to get a taste of warmth and sunshine.
I desperately needed a warm day in the park because this month has been filled with broken keys in locks, broken photography equipment and a dog needing heart meds. Fortunately the market is still filled with winter citrus including varieties of grapefruit, oranges and juicy tangerines that were destined for a cocktail. It's a simple blend of whiskey, juices, fresh mint and ice but the result is so refreshing. Cheers!
